I have driven the 208... the ride is reasonably comfortable, but it is also a pure joy to drive. I'd place it above the 1 series, and all the other modern cars I have driven (the first gen Ford Ka might have been even better, but that was a go kart). It feels like a grown up car. Much like the Polo, just that the Polo is incredibly dull to drive. Oh yeah and I like that 1.2, driven it in other PSA cars.

For realz though, the 508 is a bit dull to drive, yes, but it ought to. It's a large family saloon meant to cruise down the highway at 200 without the passengers noticing, and that it'll do (depending on the engine). The 208 is an entirely different beast, with a steering wheel that seems directly connected to the tyres, unlike many other cars. That the only way to get a smaller steering wheel is to drive a Caterham or something like that helps too. I have driven various Fords, and they don't have a chance against the 208 IMHO (haven't driven the current Fiesta though). Except for the Ka I mentioned before, but I doubt that car even had power steering

No idea. I drove a diesel 208 that doesn't have 208 hp... Can't remember if it had a 5 or 6 speed manual box, so no idea if it was 100 or 120 hp.
