A Real Fiesta ST Rival? The Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 เม.ย. 2019
- The Ford Fiesta ST is undoubtedly the kind of the hot supermini segment, but is there anyone out there who can truly rival it? Well, the 208 GTI by Peugeot Sport may just have the ingredients for a good match - but can it really hold a candle to the sublime Ford?

I am a 62 year old fart and bought a new 208 gti prestige last year. I absolutely love it, grin factor 100% every time I get in it and no I don't dodder about in it, foot to the floor is my style!👍🏁
Brian Dovey would you recommend it?
I bought one too; when I was 67. I had an RCZ R before that.
I don't think people realize how rapid the GTi is! Ridiculous the sports cars you can see off.
I bought one just to be different and I love it always puts a smile on my face
We need more 62 year olds like you, please.
he said he absolutely loved it...@@bowenarrow2921
I want to share my experience, in 2016 I bought the 208 GTi 30th in the same two tone paint that you mentioned here. Bought it as a daily driver. 2020 and still have it as my only car. And i can say it just reminds me why i love driving, every single day...i just love the way it sounds, the way it grips, you throw it on a corner and it just goes, and when you think it can't take more foot on the pedal it kind of tells you: just bring it on!! Haha and it just hangs on, it feels so light, the little steering wheel that invites you to do something fun, everything is so inmediate about it, i mean like his reactions to your commands...it's hard to write it down exactly but to me it just feels so alive and it puts a smile on my face even when im feeling down. Like i have a bond with it know lol. It's not perfect by any means, but that just adds to the charm for me. It has character. Maybe all of this sounds cheesy or hard to believe, maybe you will laugh or disagree but im really not exaggerating, just sharing my personal experience. Would i recommend it? Hell y e s!!
Sorry i didn't realize the comment was so long 😅
Hello, I like your in depth review, thank you. Did you have any bad reliability issues, particularly electronics?
@@jw6058 hi!! Sorry for the delayed answer but yeah i still have my 30th and running as beautiful as always.. and honestly..no issues with electronics 🤔 i was scared that with the car having more years of use it would come up with something but honestly nothing has happened
@@Pilo17contreras this is exactly how I felt about my 207 GTi years ago. I almost bought one of these 208's but decided to go for the 308 GTi 270 instead. No regrets either way 😁
I have a 208gti prestige honestly an underrated car, especially for younger drivers I'm 21 and insurance is only £560. Its also got more power than the fiesta st and is a discreet little car that doesn't pull attention to itself it just looks like a Peugeot. I u understand the whole "uhgh its a Peugeot" and I thought the same until I test drove one. Fun, cheap and economical for a 208hp sub 6.5s to 60mph car would highly recommend.
I’m in love with my 208 GTI by Peugeot Sport, I’ve had it very nearly a year now from brand new. Thanks for the video!
The 208 BPS is a better product than the Fiesta. I m not saying a more enjoyable car but a more accomplished product. When you re talking about the hot hatches, talk a about French cars
Unreliable engine tho, same as the DS3
@@loneokami6560 it’s not at all, the 208 thp engine was forged and its a very reliable engine, the older models 2013-2014 were less reliable
I have to disagree with you, the 208 GTI when it first came out was a really, really good car and recognised as one of the best. Not just "alright" as you put it. You shouldn't put down the original 208 GTI, most of the professional magazines with professional drivers reviewing it thought it was up there with the best 👍
With regards to the shift, short shifter is available for 70 quid from pug1off which transforms the shift and driveability (mine has one fitted)
Can this be done on the 308 gti
I recently got a 208 gti and absolutely love it. I tried the ford but found it a bit harsh for everyday but the gti goes like shit is so comfy and if I drive it like a good boy I get 44 to the gallon.
Me too, I had a JCW for a long time and it was harsh on the road. Brilliant to drive, just like the ST and the PeugeotSport. At some point you think, can't I have both? A zippy drive and ride but with a comfortable edge? The standard GTI THP is that, a fast car with a little refinement, firm without being uncomfortable. I'm probably going to get the wheels sprayed black and add a small red detail but apart from that my only gripe is a slightly indistinct gear change that has a clunky sound.
william smith mine loves v power but if I’m a good good boy I manage to get 53mpg but that was a rare occasion I like to drive it 👍🏼 so 29-33 the norm
I've always liked Peugeot hot hates and I love the look of that 208 GTI ! Cracking video Jay 😉
Finally James you're driving a car I own! Not finished the video yet but I love my 208 GTi and hope you do too
Genuinely can’t explain how excited I am to watch this.
A weird scene flash keeps happening that shows the car in the distance on a B road. Great review anyway mate, always find your points spot on!
Really strange, it is not in the file I uploaded to YT
yeah. true. wierd
I saw that! First i thought subliminal messages? But it just seems like a jumped frame or something?
James H time stamp ?
I do like these for some reason. Cannot explain this in any way shape or form. I'm guessing it's for the fact they're rarer and different to the sea of STs you see everywhere.
Very interesting review, thanks ever so much indeed, James! Didn't really know anything about it before watching the video...
by far the best 208 gti sport review ! subbed
Great review Jay. Cheers mate 😎
The GTi is more classier, especially the interior. ST as much as it's great, just screams chavvy
Not really but okay.
@@gsw8734 u must work.in tesco or asda
@@thepenetrator2006 😂😂😂😂 hahahahaha
any hot hatch screams Chavy Halfords
I agree I own a 208 gti prestige and heavily considered the fiesta st because it is probably the best supermini going but everyone who drives an St screams chavy nonce and I didn't fancy that image, plus the 208gti prestige is slightly quicker and has nearly 30 more hp than an St fiesta
Happily watching the video until 4:47 and I were like. "I know that launderette" Its one on A143. Use to live in Bury At Edmunds. Great place. Great video too by the way. Loving your channel.
I've just bought a 2013 Peugeot 208 GTi. I really like it! It's pretty quick with 200 hp, and it is really comfortable. My spec is with the glass roof and JBL sound system, so not great for track performance.
- my previous car was a Citroën C2 VTS
Another great video, Jay!
Is the C2 VTS good and reliable ? I'm interested in buying one
@@guilhemsd2949 I find it very reliable... The engine is pretty much identical to the one found in the Saxo VTS 16V and the 106 GTi. Luckily they ditched the torsionbar rear suspension for the C2. Look out for rust in the upper bootlid, around the license plate lights.
Should try and check out a DS3 Performance or racing great little cars.
Had one in the 30th paint.. amazing car.. seriously miss it and want one again 😭😩
My brother has got the exact same car, it's an absolute go kart round the B roads. Cars with much more power would struggle keep up.
I love these cars, the only put off is that blasted 1.6 turbo engine, had one in my 207 GT and it broke every couple of days.
I’ve had mine for 4 months and put 4,000 miles on it and I love it. The first thing I did was fit a shortshifter it completely changes the gearbox and I’m looking at exhausts now and they’re really the only way I can fault it. The brakes are Brembo’s on 208’s the 308 GTI 270 has Alcon brakes and not many know this but the wheels are made by Speedline
Did you fit the short shifter yourself? Read some things online saying it can be a pain to do?
@@isaacrichmond8437 I did it myself but I’m a mechanic with a lift. You need to remove the battery and battery tray to get the gear change cables off and I took the selector housing off the gearbox then removed the shifter as there isn’t a load of room to hit the punch straight.
I love brembo brake pads...
I have a bps - great car, pretty rare (as its not the standard gti). Front tyre wear (usually nearside, indide shoulder) is due to heavy negative camber on the front suspension set up expect every 8k miles. So much fun and the lsd just puts the power down so well.
Did you have reliability problems or not ? cause there seems to be a lot of problems on this model
@@PaulBd78 No and I also have a few mods. Did have a problem with the drivers seat - was fixed under warranty. Had mine about 6 months (car 2.5 years old), great fun. I don't see any more issues with this car than I do on other forums/groups for other manufacturers.
@@PaulBd78 if you want to ask any questions head over to 208 owners club Uk & EU group on facebook.
@@bigdavesnokia Ok thank you very much !
I had the first 208 gti. Great car for country roads. Had amazing grip. Would get another as the prices are down to about 6k
Just got mine for £5850 it's my second car
Looking at getting one for my first car, only started driving at 20 so don’t want that time of driving a corsa. Insurance looks around £2000, would you recommend one
Definitely 👍
I miss my Pug GTi great little car 🇫🇷🇫🇷👌🏽
I was in the UK last year and all I saw was spastic 19 year olds in Fiesta ST’s literally everywhere.
Shame, they’re a great car but driven by complete bell ends driving the sack off them to look “cool”.
The exact reason I bought a 208 gti over the st
I have the exact same opinion as you to Ford. What are your thoughts on Vauxhall?
Having owned a 2CV, a Fiat Panda and two Jazzes, I can honestly say that 99% of hot hatches are fabulous drives. My partner is on her second VW GTI mark 7, whilst I drive a 2.7 tonne Peugeot camper. When you are stuck on a 50 mph limited motorway (like much of the M6 is), with yet another HGV stuck on your arse..... suddenly the camper makes sense. I love your knowledge though. Didn’t the RCZ have that engine?
205 GTI was a legend if its half as good it's good
They are two different worlds but this 208 is still fun. Not as the 205 but much faster
What year was the 205
Chris Baxter - Correction, the first release of the 205GTI was v.v.good, but then they ruined it by removing the brilliant oversteery rear end and precise front end feel. I owned two, one in 1984-87 and one around 1989-1993, and they were like totally different cars. I’ve never driven a FWD car anywhere near as good as the original 205GTI, even if it was relatively underpowered compared to modern hot hatches.
106Gti was a better car if people are honest with themselves, I owned the 205gti 1.9 130hp, 309Gti as well. The 205 is the better looking car as time goes on but that is it. The 106 handles easily as well and is more fun with it, it revs to the fuel cut which is only just past peak HP, it's safer by miles, the dash doesn't rattle and it is faster in a straight line. Of course my opinion goes against the legend of the 205Gti, but I'm telling you straight up, all day every day the 106Gti is the better car, prices are low, get one now and avoid paying mad dollars for a 205Gti as prices are in full blown nostalgia trip time. And don't forget, it will never idle well for long... you know it.
@@djnigellove 106 gti was the most fun car I ever owned, it was such a performance bargain that I owned 3 of them in my life.
Thinking of getting this or an ST but need to do some serious research.
There's a 35k mile 1 owner in red with amazing history for 6.5k at a dealer now. I can't think of much that's better for the money. Very cool cars.
I’m 22 and I’m about to buy my uncles 2013 208 GTI for roughly £2500, only done roughly 28,000 miles. Can’t wait I remember my brother had a red one in 2015.
I owned a brand new 205 GTI (1.6) when they first came out. It was only the third one I’d ever seen. It had a dreadful fuel/ignition problem coming into roundabouts that was very frustrating and dangerous. Peugeot couldn’t fix it and I sold it and got a Golf GTI.
About 7 years ago I bought a 2013 208 GTI. It’s probably about the best car I’ve owned- great handling, great acceleration in every gear, very comfortable and I got 42mpg over the last 6000 miles of driving. Unfortunately I got a rare autoimmune disease last Easter and I haven’t been able to drive since and I really miss driving it. It’s got 65k miles on it and now my daughter drives it at weekends to go to the gym. She really enjoys driving it.
Great video! Any plans to review the clio 4 RS trophy/16 for a comparison? :)
If I can I will
My neighbour had a 30th and seeing that made me buy my 208gti. They’re great cars with a good kick for a hot hatch.
Does the sat nav work in cold weather like my wife's 208's doesn't?
Love this channel
Cheers!
Have you driven the regular 208 gti? I have. I took one to the nurburgring for a week with a friend who had his fiesta st. The 208 gti is an awesome car. The bps is better.
Think I'm going to pick up a DS3 Performance in a few years; same engine as these I believe.
Thats a nice car in the right colour one of the best looking citroens for a long time
Same platform as well... Basically a stylish package for the same car
DS3 performance is a 208 GTI BPS with Citroën logo, it's great car
Na. The ds3 racing you want
1.6 L THP 208, yes, they are the same
The french are kings of the hot hatch. Had a Renault 5 GT Turbo in the early 90s, god I miss that car.
Oh Jabber, please don't forget your R5 was a 1.1 with 55bhp.
@@mickadatwist1620 GT Turbo squizzed out 118ho to a 1,4L engine in the 80's come on
Only 800kg,that was a rocket
my sons just gotten a 2016 Peugeot Sport GTi model , only done 8000 miles but what a flipping missile it is . you have to be so careful how hard you put your foot down before your breaking the speed limit in seconds . Id loose my licence VERY quickly going very quickly in it .
Learnt to drive in a 208. Only thing I didn't like was the wheel!
Question is will Peugeot ever get back to the 205, 309, and 405 days ?. Even the 405 was bloomin awesome down the twisties. Superb suspension setup and the fact they weighed the same as a box of cornflakes.
Peugeot seem to be on a roll at the moment with this, the 308GTI and the 3008 all drawing accolades.
With todays regulations it's impossible, but the 208 and 308 gti are promising as well as the new 508 i just hope it'll get a manual..
309 is what ? A 5 door? & 405 big sedan?
@@Fee.1 309's a small family car, 405's a larger one according to a quick search.
The mi-16 was a great car. Many 205 gti owners transplanted the engine from the mi-16 into the 205 back in the day, the ultra rare turbo version was even better.
My first car back in 99 was a 205 gti
Peugeot have a weird habit of doing this. I own a 206 Gti 180, and it's the same as the 208 Peugeot Sport in that it's a complete overhaul of the Gti that is almost irrelvant.
It's almost like the Gti comes out, people complain that it's not a great car, then they build a Gti version of the Gti and it's incredible, but because the original isn't spectacularly received, and they're released later in the cycle, they're forgotten about.
This was filmed in Bury st Edmunds
Can you check out the Saxo VTS? It’s great and bloody rare.
Kid Crack rare? Did they all get crashed? They were everywhere.
That will become a collectors car......collecting all the bits that fall off it 😂
Had to do that choice years ago and went with the Fiesta ST.
The 208 BPS was more expensive, have a LSD but you can't switch off the ESP totally, have a better exhaust note, and is too comfy for my taste.
I have more fun with the FiST and I enjoy it every single time I drive it, it has never disapointed me. (35000Km in 2 years).
210,000miles on my 2018 FiST. Never replacing it. It is absolute driving perfection! Smile with every mile. Feels even better at 210,000miles. Just perfectly engineered.
alot of this applies to my 308 sw 2.0 hdi, but my problem is the 370nm it applies to the front wheels, it has worn my 245 tires down QUICKLY, it has ripped an engine mount in half and destroyed my wheel bearings XD, it will break traction in 1st 2nd and 3th from a stand still
Me living in Paris... I don't have the "St everywhere" syndrome... Here the Peugeot is a lot more common and the fiesta is very very very rarely seen.
So factoring everything I chose the Fiesta ... I owned it for a year then the super reactive and puppy like driving got a bit tiresome for me.
I finally replaced the fiesta for a Nissan 350z ( more of a GT kind of car)
@Retro CollectedI can't speak for the world salles ... But over here in France the Peugeot 208 GTI being a French car ... And having the 205 GTI as a relative... It outsold the fiesta for a big margin .
In 2016 when I bought my Fiesta thé Peugeot was a moderate success in France.
But nowadays everything changed and the market shined away from the small pocket rocket kind of car.
The used car market is full of this kind of car and nobody is buying. My fiesta stayed on sell where I traded it in for almost 4 months and they had many Clio RS and 208 GTI there as well.
Even the Mégane RS ... They had 5 or 6 of them...
pois é Jorge, a malta agora quer é SUV´s e Elétricos... mas os pequenos GTI´s nunca deixarão de ser especiais..@@jorgemarques8944
Both cars got no opening roof option,but the Fiesta Mk8 has now!
I’ve had my 208 gti for just under 2 years now and it’s brilliant! I had a stage 1 re-map 3 months ago and it’s the best value for money you can get this car. Seeing as it’s the same engine in the 308 GTi the engine is capable of much more as they put it out under powered. My power has gone up to 225bhp (which ain’t much) but the torque has gone from 275nm to 360nm!!! It’s a super pocket rocket on no mods besides a ECU map.
I've been so set on this car over a Fiesta ST but god now I really don't have a clue
208 gti is the only pug I’ve wanted to own since the 306 gti
Is this the same model as a Prestige? Looking at them now but can't figure out the range
The Prestige was the eventual replacement for the standard GTI, giving you heated front half-leather seats, sat nav and a panoramic roof with ambient lighting. It has the same power as the BPS. The 3-door XY was the next model down - not quite as fast, but more plush and offered some interesting paint colours - but this was replaced by the GT Line (I believe Peugeot dumped the 3-door variant in 2017). No GTI was 5-door.
Had one of these cars and sold it for a Lexus V6. I'm now seriously considering punting the Lexus and getting another one of these, serious fun.
BPS has Brembo uprated front brakes, wider track, and 18" wheels
Try the DS DS3 Performance
My Daughter owns a 208 and the only thing I'm not happy about is the gearbox. It's as if it does not have a syncromesh on reverse.
On my bucket list of cars too own no matter what bad press they have I like cars for what they are great video cheers Mr
Filmed around bury st Edmunds...😃
The 206gti 180 was brilliant too
You mean 206 RC 177 ?
I had a 208 GTi and really disliked it. I came from a Clio 200 so I was spoilt however I fealt a real sloppyness in the drivetrain that really disconnected you from the car. I currently drive a mini JCW, same engine and it's completely different. Weird.
We have a 307 GTi (actually a 307 feline) with the same 180hp engine from the 206 GTi
i own a 207gt and its a real fun little car not gonna lie
I have a 208 1.2 turbo,6 speed auto box, the new style auto box, it has huge torque and a timing belt that never needs changed for 10 yrs. I fancy the 208 gti by PS, but worried about the emissions tests these days for the 1.6 turbo, and the 1.6 turbo chain can rattle i think. I always love the rubbery ford gearbox shift, but peugeot has a notchy, clunky feel the mechanism change , decisions.
My 208 gti is nearly 6 years old and I've had no problems at all with mine. No a great amount of time but some newish car are having issues before they get to that age. The main issue I have with the car is that every dickhead wannabe boy racer in their old vtr or whatever see the car and wanna test you. I don't know what it is about this car, it's just a magnet for idiots. Even when I'm driving steady with my girlfriend and her son in the car there'll always be someone get as close as possible before overtaking then cut me up. I've had other nippy cars faster than my current car and not had everyone drive like idiots around me.
If anyone sees this despite the video being old how have you found the reliability on the 208 GTI?
Might not hurt to think a bit more globally, the Fiesta ST is very rare some countries. Certainly not a plague on the "world", I live in a capitol city and see a st180 once every 3-7 days. Might be a month between seeing a ST150. Ford dropped the Fiesta line here due to them being unpopular but promise we will get the mk8 ST by 2020, we will see.
My old XSi was seriously unreliable but seriously great fun to drive.
The next Vauxhall/Opel Corsa coming out next year is very closely based (basically a re skinned version from the videos I’ve seen on you tube) the Peugeot 208 as Peugeot bought Vauxhall/Opel from GM last year.
Peugeot has dropped all the vxr/opc models so it should be interesting to see what hot version of the corsa they bring out hopefully it will be made in Germany I’ve had Renault and Peugeot in the past and the build quality and reliability just isn’t so good as Vauxhall most of which are built at the German Opel factory
I currently own a 2017 corsa e vxr with performance pack which has a drexler limited slip diff as part of this I’m surprised you haven’t road tested or mentioned these in your review thought I’ve seen your review of the vxr d corsa the e version is a very different car and much rarer than the Fiesta St
I did get someone offer me a Corsa E and I will try to review it when I can
Hi
I recommend that you do I enjoy your frank & honest reviews your best to review one with the performance pack not all of them have this.Your welcome to review mine if your ever around the Bournemouth area
Lovely car but this version of it was a lot more than the Fiesta ST. Rare to come across any version now. Did see one of the standard 208 GTi not that long ago but still. Wish Peugeot would ditch looking over the wheel instead of through for instruments. They are stubbornly sticking to it
Frankly, I'm still doubtful of the 208's quality. Planned on buying one a few years back and decided not to because the 1.6 THP engine had SO MUCH problems and all the owners on forums were complaining about he build quality. Hoped into a standard 208 for a trip and I was disturbed about how the interior was built :steering wheel hiding the speedo, strange windows opening switches placement and so.
To be checked that may be the problems have been solved like the timing chain. Then it would be a really great car to own.
Andy Nope The old THP engines had those problems indead. Those parts have been replaced in the new 200hp and 208hp THP engine.
@@steffensehl6938 Even the HPFP? Because if it has stopped to fail and can be retrofitted on the old THP, that would be great.
Ppl moan about problems more on the internet then they do compliment. All forms are the same moaning lot about the same few problems on every production model out there.
I own a 207 gti, feels like every Peugeot gti related video has to take a moment to complain about them. 😂
🤣🤣
"Cyclists, what a very French thing to experience". Fair enough. But until you've seen someone cycling in the middle of a highway in the middle of a snowstorm in the middle of a winter in the middle of darkness in the middle of a Finland. What can you say? I can say I'm mostly terrified.
What’s the relation between Essex and Ford
Ford of britain is a major factory located in dagenham essex. In the 80s and 90 you were nobody if you didnt drive an escort RS turbo.
Spot on about Fast Ford's. Always loved them, had 2 Focus STs, and I felt like a bit of a tool driving them.
I am big fan of you and your site James and am looking for this exact car in this exact colour soon, but I am also a cyclist who uses that B road on my way home from the hospital I work in you passed in the video so please do watch out for me when you are pressing down on the gas pedal!
Great video as ever, so informative, so entertaining and so eloquent - few other TH-camrs compare to you (along with High Peak Autos, you two are the only ones I follow for cars)
Thanks Justin - I don't think I use that route for testing often, but in any case always try to be wary and respectful of cyclists. I've even had a few I pass turn out to be subscribers!
You say that in the Ford the engine is uninteresting?!
Are you talking about the new MK8 ST, with the quirky, 3-pot, growling, characterful engine and the grin-inducing, popping exhaust?
I was referring to the old 1.6, but in fairness neither are exciting engines imho
I'm on my 2nd - and they are far from well made. Make sure you REALLY check it over.
a flash at 1.09, image .... hmmmmmm
Still doesn’t handle as well as the new Mk8 ST, might be popular/common but for very good reason.
St yawn boring every tesco boy racer has one. Handle where who races other than a straight line and gtis kill sta
A brilliant, but flawed car in my experience, chassis, brakes and diff are mega but the engine and gearbox are very meh. Somehow, they've taken the Mini JCW engine which sounded mega and was a peach of an engine and in the 208 BPS I drove made it sound like a vacuum cleaner and sucked all the character out of the engine. As good as the 208 BPS is, the mk7 ST is better in almost every way; and the latest mk8 ST Performance pack just spanks the pair of them.
No words about 206rc ?
Actually I don't know if I'm the only one but vague french gearboxes are ideal for slamming gears. Every time I drive a french car I want to shove the gears in rage.
hehehe... true...
Better than the st imo
love french cars, even with all their faults
So a Fiesta ST with French quirks?
I thought you were from Sudbury
Obviously your just down the road over the border Essex boy
Come say hi some time
Unfortunately all the cars in my household are boring 😂
More particle and reliable over exciting
That’s what having kids does to you wallet
My neighbor has got a Vauxhall monaro and a guy at work got a toyota celica convertible
Considered one of these new instead of my old X85 Clio RS200. Well, this had a much better interior, but I wanted to avoid turbochargers in front wheel drive, and the £4000 difference helped too. Both this & Fiesta ST seem jiggly on b-roads, but at least the 208 isn't a barry-boy special
TBH the Prius are now a disease on the road, everywhere in London :(
What do you think of the gearbox?
...watch the video... he extensively talks about it🙄😂
jogu123 I did
Andrew Storm ok, then you know now....
jogu123 I do
The small steering wheel is for blokes with big bellies 😉
hey sounds like my sort of car
Me too haha
Also good for people who don't need inormations from the speedo, because it's blocking the view.
@@andylebandy It's not low enough then or you're sitting too low. The steering wheel should sit perfectly below the speedo.
@@daveyboiyeah it was in most confortable position for me and my driving. And I am not the only one with that problem.
Point is, a steering wheel should be designed for that problem to never happen. Like in most of the cars out there.
In forums you will find a HUGE amount of issues with clutch and turbo ... i'have not buyed it for these reasons, i'm just hoping for the new GTI but i'm not a fan of the new design atm ..
In all forums u find complainers all over the place. Ppl like to moan more than compliment more. And it tends to be the same bunch of ppl who bang on about negative things about their cars/bikes/Vans etc
Driving through bury??
Would deffo have the Pug over an ST but would have a Clio 197 over the Pug, ST’s are like Chlamydia
Review a polo gti
I test drove these too last weekend - going to walk away with the ST with an MP215 kit on it. Peugeot felt a bit too style-over-substance for me!
And having watched this in full, I agree about the Fiesta being a lot more immediately impressive.
@@RobBoothAutomotive do you work on tesco or asda
All been abit rubbish after the excellent 106 GTi .
