I really enjoyed this review; it made me laugh. About the window not opening properly, it's most likely dirt are caught up in the window's rubber seal. Give the whole rubber seal that surrounds and has contact with the window pane a good clean with soapy water then clean the rubber seal again with methylated spirit. Then spray silicone spray, it will glide again like new. If it still does it then you will also need to clean the copper element inside the window's switch. It's easy to dismantle and clean. Use a fine sand paper to clean any corrosion formed on the copper switch. This can happen to any ageing cars, especially if the switch got wet from rain, etc. I think there are some RUclips videos on it. Thanks for the great review. Cheers
26 year old me would want the Fiesta ST180, 46 year old me wants the 208 GTi, its the more liveable car and is less likely to have spent 99% of its life at 7000rpm
I recently bought one of these and your review is spot on. It’s definitely a more grown up hot hatch, which makes it a great fun daily driver. I have to say though, the car in the video is crying out for a good clean 😂
I own the latter 1.2 PureTech turbo facelifted variant. The gauge cluster meter is meant to be viewed over the steering wheel, not through it, hence the small-sized steering wheel. Apparently French people have different preferences of ergonomics.
This is how you drive one with the steering wheel lower down closer to your legs like a race car.
Hi man, i love your overview very mature i must say... and spot on the pug 208 gti .. i own one from 2013 had some issues nothing major so far with 130 000 km. the only downside in my opinion its the feeling from the steatringwheel .. or the lack off but i must say its still fun when you learn to deal with it. its funny sometimes to see the faces from guys when we hit the gas.. oh boy it its fun
What problems have you had
@@scotty1004 rattling sound in the morning, timing chain is going loose being the biggest one, infiltrations cuz of the water hose broke off to the rear wiper.
other then that if you can make it one time on all the maitenance its an afourdable car
@@jokkadread I'm getting either one off these or the fiesta st180, I like the Peugeot more especially the interior but I hear there are problems with the fuel tank, fuel pump and some people have had to have the wiring loom replaced, all off these problems are very expensive especially the fuel pump.
Loved the review. Great thoughts and a fair assessment.
But please clean the car next time. It'd add so much for so little effort.
Love the intro on this aha
Wow quite rarely i see vids with a proper narratives, right now looking for a HH that is daily livable while owning lot of special stuff in a garage
8:53 sadly Peugeot went for that fake sound with the new 308 gti
soft lol fair play
Anything but in my experience especially the PS version
