the new Peugeot 208 XY and GTI

Not really one to post about other cars, but this is an exception since it is our sister car!

Liking the looks of it, but more interested in the interior. The XY (Peugeot posh version equivalent of our posh C3) looks great and bodes well for the eventual DS3 face lift.

I do wonder if the GTI will be as good as the 205. Doubt it

You think? I see what you mean about the Camero gauges, but i liked the fabric rather than plastic interior. i think it looks a bit more up-market.

to much contrast between the curves and sharp angles doesn't present as a seamless whole

While on the subject of Pugs, and at the risk of going off topic, has anyone driven a RCZ?

[iwelford]

no, but i LOVE (taboo word for a male) the bubble roof! and it is a good looking car all in.

The price for it is outrageous! I'm sure I read about 23k for the GTI version in Autocar!
To confirm Autocar say predictions of 18k for a GT model (with the THP 155 engine) and about 5k more for the GTI!!!
Before I judge it I'll have to hear if its actually a decent drive.
