do not go for the 1.2 we have one and now wish we had got a 1.4 its like driving a car with one big flat spot it is a horrible car and the mpg is rubbish lucky if we get 37 to the gallon overtaking is a nightmare as you do not thing its got the power to make it
 
think i will take the car back to the dealer as i cannot get anywhere near that MPG i was getting 55 MPG form my Alfa Mito 1.3 diesel , our 208 1.2 is horrible to drive changing from 1st to 2nd its almost like it got a misfire 3rd to 4th its like it has a big flat spot maybe the poor MPG is the fact i have to rev it harder to make it go at the moment i am not liking tho car at all
 
going to take it back for them to sort it out but i do not have much faith in them i work in the motor trade myself and my local dealer has not got a good name , i have another dealer about 15 miles away will give them a call and see what they say
 
no dealer did not have a 1.2 to test drive so we went out in a 1.4 but all the reviews raved about the 1.2 so thats why we got it , I all so own a 2012 diesel smart car which i can honestly say is nicer to drive and more nippy and does 60 MPG if dealer cannot sort it out my think off getting rid of it
