lol not quite 5l, there isnt a higher spec one at the moment however they will be bringing out the 2.0 GTi which has a nice 200bhp. I was very impressed at the weight of them, they start at about 975kg (according to the brochures) |

I think the GTI is a 1.6T bud.Same engine as the RCZ/MCS/MCJCW/DS3 There are some nice spec options but its a little girly and the steering wheel is gay. Prefer the ds3r tbh. Better wheels too ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

a mate had one for an hour playing, good quality interior decent legroom (he's 6'8" nice instruments, good chassis."feels" light, he only tested a small engine, but he did say it wasn't too bad at all on fuel, considering he gave it death  ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

The thing about modern hatches is they have a sort of tall and skinny look.I like when cars look wider than they are tall. a 306 is a good example of what I mean in hatch terms. I miss that, and imo the only modern hatch that captures that is a megane 275. Which is the only hatch out now that I would want really. Helps its ****ing awesome too ________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |

oh i completely agree, I love the DS3R and the megane 275 (which is the one i would go for) but im afraid it all comes down to costs and I have to get an 'economical' car (I'm still looking that term up since the 6) and I get much better spec in the 208 than the standard DS3. The plan is to have a fast road gti6 for fun or a 205 gti6 not yet decided |

I like them personally, there is one at our local dealer that is a nice looking car. At the end of the day it's your opinion that matters as it's your car and only you know if it's right for you  ________________________________________ Less than 24 hours to go! |

I like the look of the DS3 and the new 208 but I would personally wait for the GTi ... Still rather have a '6 though, can't afford a new car nor be assed with finanace. ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |
