Juke?! FML, get the 208 quick.Juke is one of the most pointless fugly vehicles out there right now, what's wrong with a bloody Almera? same size inside, cheaper, less fugly, so much lighter, better on fuel etc etc! actually, it'll be called the Pulsar soon, a much nicer looking thing. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

well, because a friend has one and she likes it! the interior looks alright, nice suede and what not, load of parking gadgets and it's a halfarsed 4x4 system i believe too. funny thing is she wants a 4x4 for going up to her farm and s**t but has a 4x4 polaris jeep thing so doesn't actually need a 4x4 at all  i keep telling her they're ugly and look like a Fast & Furious car ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

we had a Juke DiG-T - the slightly less powerful version - it was utter crap and couldnt put the power down at all...it also sounded like a hair dryer, didnt handle very well and the interior may look nice but has no sound deadening (fabric parcel shelf) so incredibly noisy on the road too |

not quite a fair comparison, 208 will cost far less to run....________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

I know what you mean with the 205, I did think straight away, stick a turbo on the 205 and it would be wiping the floor with the 208. It is pretty premature to show an advert of it outperforming/being equally as good as something so iconic. The 205 is THE hot hatch. When people say hot hatch, people imagine a 205. To claim a new car has that same iconic status by editing it into the original advert is a pretty bold claim that won't stack up IMO. That doesn't mean it is a bad car, it just means it won't be the legend that the 205 is. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
