I'm looking at replacing my everyday car (Hyundai i10 2015 1.0) for something a bit more fun aka fast. I've narrowed it down to the 208 gti because turbo, 200ish hp, 6speed manual, Air Con, Small and affordable (7000 English Doubloons)
I normally steer clear of French, Italian and British cars as I like to arrive where I set out for but from what I can tell the Toyota base (it's sorta Yarisy underneath) is enough to stop the French making it French reliable. Am I going to be calling for breakdown all the time? Can it make crazy turbo noises?
I briefly drove a '90s era Peugeot 106 (not gti) in maybe 2005 and it was other than the gearbox a great little car which I remember fondly. Recently I ended up hiring a Citroén DS3 (Citroén and Peugeot being the same) and other than the gearbox it was a great little car (a light and all 4 TPMS died in the week I had it but it was so up for a laugh, surprisingly quick and I found myself missing it after giving it back).
Has anyone owned or driven one?
