Hi folks! Seems that you are getting your 208's pretty fast. I have just decided to buy one - it will be my first car (new job requires me to have one).
I decided to go with 75 Active (plus some exstras) and am waiting for follow up from dealer. Hope to sort everything out and that it will arrive fast. It would be mayor PITA if I have to wait 2 months for it.

But,the is something that I don't like. I really really wnated blue one, but that colour is not available with Active, so I opted for white one. :/

My wife and I picked up her new 208 this afternoon. Looks to be a great super mini, as they are calling it, the only comparisons with my ‘ultimate red’ 508 I have made so far are its ‘elixir red’ colour is actually better than mine, drat!!. Also if you are tall the leg room in the rear seats of the 208 would be very tight indeed. Fortunately we are both rather short and we have the 508 for longer trips with friends.
I picked my car up last night and all I can say is wow! What an amazing car it is to drive! Looking forward to getting out in it again today!

Both the new 208 and the new 508 are leagues ahead of the previous models that’s for sure.
Hope you and your girlfriend enjoy yours as much as my wife seems to be enjoying hers.

My wife is very pleased with her 208 GTline 1.2 PT 100 EAT8. It looks good and drives well. The sat nav is slightly better than on my 508 and it receives emails as well as text messages. The 508 doesn’t get emails. I’ll take a look at software versions when I get a chance and report under a different thread as the 508 may well get an update soon.
one downside comment on the new 208 body though for you to check if you don’t mind. The front body panel directly below the bonnet and above the grill has extremely sharp corners and is not flush with the bonnet. I believe this could be a safety hazard and have reported it to the dealer today. Other cars in the showroom are similar but in differing amounts. It’s as if the bonnet is going down too far or this panel needs to be adjusted. They are going to report it back to pug and I’ll get an update in a month when it goes in for the 1000 mile checkup. I would appreciate if other owners would check theirs too.
 
Fingers crossed one of them is yours! and yeah we'll have to see how well they both run! i'm looking forward to the 10" screen with the Tomtom sat nav heard lots of good things about it.
Hi, after 10 months of ownership on the 1.2L EAT8 2019 would be nice to your thoughts? since we have just started listing modifications, tuning and aftermarket parts for the 208 1.2L EAT8 , I listed the model on the website as the 208 MKII. As more parts arrive on the scene we will add them, the 1.2L 100ps is already tuning to around 120hp. Like most cars things would only get more tricky around the 240hp+ level

Curerntly we have some intake kist, brake pads & discs, spark plugs. Over the next few years the aftermarket parts availabel will grow, just takes time and whilst in warranty modification scenes tend to be on the smaller side so its early days. Anyway I have left a link to the motorsport store below
