Opinion on the diesel Peugeot 208?
Hi what's your opinion on a Peugeot 208 Active 1.4 diesel, I'm looking @ a 2013 model.
Our answer:
Hi Pat,
A really nice car with decent quality and an engaging driving experience, but to be honest it’s a bit pointless going for a diesel engine in a car this size. You’d be better off with the 1.2 petrol.
