208 GTi owner here, french car having the best handling, so called, King in mountain road/twisty road/winding road not for no reason, and price to pay is pay more delicate attention to the car here and there, feed with original lubricant and frequently drive like mad man. Parts do fail, but on straights, not much model can overtake this pocket rocket easily, and on mountain road almost no supercar is a match to french car. Did I mentioned 11-18km/L kind of fuel consumption rate?

Well, come back to 208 Puretech, no issue ever since launched. Well all-rounded family 4-door sedan with cheap roadtax plus nice LED lights and practical rear hatch. Seat-down, and you will get a massive >1,000L capacity to go IKEA.

Last but not least, this 208 GTi wasn't my first french car, in fact second (exact model), after my first unit collided in multi-vehicle accident at NS Highway and end up total lost, i am perfectly fine without a scratch. Euro 5-Star NCAP is not a joke, you can choose to buy a life. Japs are not even close in this league.

Sent mine for stage 1. About 35hp and 55nm of improvement in power and torque respectively. The differences could be obviously felt.

I think that depends on how you drive. I floor the pedal quite frequently...
