It will always be rarer, because Peugeot will never sell as many of them as Ford doe Fiesta's (or indeed, as many as they sold 206's and 207's as I don't think the general populous has it for Peugeot anymore, mores the pity).

The Ford may well be that technically bit better in handling terms, but are you really going to notice it on the daily drive. And if it's worth anything, when we had the Citroen DS3, I had to rent a Fiesta for the day for something and, despite it being of Zetec S spec, I thought how unrefined and basic it felt compared to the Citroen. I imagine the 208 is even better than the DS3 given it's a few years newer.
Apparently the 208 is quite similar to drive to the DS3, Andrew.

Just having a wee think about changing and decided to look at cheaper 'fun' cars. We're getting our new Q5 next month so I don't want to have too much outlay on a second car.

We'll see!
