With a bit of fineness right here and there, all of it might have been so a lot better, with the promise that its design prompt that it might have had.

Because it was, a Volkswagen Polo’s cabin feels increased perceived high quality. A Honda jazz’s have been considerably extra versatile. A Ford Fiesta’s match it for design and principally materials high quality, whereas it’s simpler to work. The 208 was reasonably acceptable on this enterprise.

Selecting a 208 alternative was a tough matter, as there have been 4 nuclear finishes to select from plus three GTI variations and an extra three particular version fashions.

The entry degree entry end has outfitted the 208 with heated door mirrors, pace management, air-con, bluetooth and distant central closure as commonplace, whereas upgrading to energetic added 15-was-all-drainage wheels, LED daylights and a 7.0in contact display Infotainment system with DAB-Radio- and smartphone integration included.
