Joss, that’s a fine choice of car and colour and if I was ordering a 308 tomorrow – that’s the model & colour I would choose. As you know, I’ve had its little brother, the 208 GT Premium 130 for just over a year now in metallic ‘Faro Yellow’ and love it to bits. The 130 engine makes the car very nippy indeed (especially in sport mode) and I still get people all the time coming up to me & asking me about the car, looking over it, etc. The small 20p-shaped ‘go-kart’ steering wheel is fantastic & I wouldn’t go back to a normal one – which all seem so big now! The 3D iCockpit is brilliant and as you say, the heated sports seats are second to none. It’s got all the bells & whistles – even voice commands – and to be honest, I couldn’t be happier. Whoever is designing Peugeot’s cars these days deserves a medal… especially the 208 and 308. They make most other mainstream car manufacturer’s models look exactly what they are; extremely boring & bland.
Hi Solent i have ordered a Faro yellow 208 130 gt premium eat 8 as just saw your post i am having park assist which is £250 is it metallic yellow i was tempted by the red or blue but when i saw the Faro it looked great with the black roof and wheel arches and also it is a free colour.
