208 owners, may I know how long was the waiting period for your 208 after booking?
Last time a SA told me it is 1 month. Is this true?

My 208 just done tinting, they told me not to turn on the rear window heater for 2 weeks. I can't find the switch. Is the heater auto turn on? Where to turn it off?

EDIT: I found the button. Stupid me, tongue.gif

The USB port beside the 12V power socket doesn't charge my phone. Is this normal?

It charges, but very slowly, especially if you are using it (playing music or using the GPS).

Thanks. smile.gif I will use the 12V socket to charge.

Just popped in to ask if anyone's gotten a hold of any accessories for their 208s yet? I've seen a few GTis already, too sexy. I'd love to have the rear spoiler for my own 3-door. And a bit of those racing stripes would be good, too. Saw a 208 GTi recently with Ligne 'S' In Stripe decals. Gorgeous.

Come to think of it, in one of the earlier showings of the normal model, I saw one with the Ligne 'S' In Chequered decals.

I guess I could always order the decals myself from a sticker shop or whatever, but the rear spoiler is going to be tricky to get a hold of unless if it's already available...

Someone from this group is selling the rear spoiler for non-GTi 208. You can join in and browse the posts.

Car jerk when slowing down doesn't really bother me. Personally I feel its acceptable.
When switched to Sports mode I do feel the response from the acceleration is better.  But what actually changed when Sports mode is switched on? Can someone enlighten me? Does the 0-100 time improve?

According to the manual, Sports mode will make the car shift gear at higher RPM.
Dunno about 0-100 time, because its hard for us to measure on ordinary road.

Just tested 208 today. The fan noise beats a lorry, I never thought it could be this loud. However, if the a/c is cold, then its worth it.

Just got a few questions.

I drove it around 80kmh and find that the suspension is stiff (or was the tyres over inflated?). When going over uneven road, can hear kuluk kuluk sound. Same on yours?

Secondly, noticed that the engine rev much higher before upshifting. I dont see sport mode on the auto mode selection. Pretty sure its just D. Whats your fc like?

Suspension is ok. The test unit's tyres must be over inflated.
My unit's all 4 tyres were over inflated when I received it. Only found it out after drove it for 2 weeks.
