Hi guys. I am currently looking for a hatchback around 90k and am stuck between these two options.

Am kinda into 208 but have heard a lot of negative feedbacks from owners of previous generation. As nasim has just recently launched the 208 puretech, so far there is no any review from local owner, thus i'm not sure if it's gonna be as problematic as the previous gen used to be.

Fiesta 1.0 ecoboost seems to have received a lot of positive reviews. The only thing that i don't like about it is the interior. The dial pad in the car + the tiny screen are really a big turn off.

Gimmicks like smart entry and push start don't really matter to me. Reliability is the only issue that matters the most to me.

Thank you in advance for your opinions.

my bro just bought a 2008 1.2 puretech.. he loves the car.

Yes Peugeot reliability has been questioned so many times.. 1.6 THP engines are very questionable..

but the new engines , the 1.2 puretech are still new.. but from what info that is available on the web, its an awesome engine with very good fuel efficiency..

I myself have a Peugeot, but its a diesel, very reliable for the past 3 years of ownership

How do you think about the build quality of your peugeots?

one thing bout peugeot cars, the interior are built with lots of soft touch materials, so feels quite premium..

like my car uses nappa leather, has massage seat functions.. really feels comfortable when driving it.. only thing is killing me is the 19 inch rims tyre.. mahal man..

when i test drove my bros 2008 puretech, engine is quite smooth.. acceleration are good , no turbo lag .. moon roof with mood lights looks good.. steering is abit small.. driving was good..

but cant say for new engines reliability since still new. but i heard that the 408 e-thp launched last year, its engine is quite reliable now.. they've solved most of the old 1.6thp prince problems

I'm currently driving 2013 208. My opinion would be : STAY AWAY.

Reason being:
1. SC is not helpful, slow in claiming part
2. Aircond is not cold and break down easily (A big turn off especially the Weather in Malaysia is hot)- Please check 208 facebook group if you do not believe me.
3. servicing price is ridiculous. cheapest from RM700 to RM2k major service.

Where did you send your car?

I sent mine to KJ SC and Setia ALAM

last time setia alam, now kota damansara since my service SA move from setia alam to KD. that guy no nonsense one, no additional unnecessary items added.

unlike geotauto pj last time, simply add things i didn't ask

You are so damn wrong

Pug is the most boring car to drive

Fiesta is good to drive but still not as fun as jazz or M2. And fiesta back looks horrible although it has an Aston Martin front

TS won't go wrong with either jazz or m2

Jazz still has my vote

You can consider a used Prius c too year 2014-2015

lol, not sure trolling or what...

Fiesta is way better fun car to drive than a jazz...

No, he's serious... He just hates Euro cars and Proton. Could even be Sam Loo in disguise, where the argument usually doesn't hold water!
