Our recommendations
Which used Peugeot 208 hatchback should I buy?
Engine
The 1.2-litre Puretech 100 is gutsy at low speeds and has plenty of power for A-roads and motorway driving. Good fuel economy is another plus for the Puretech 100, which performed well in our real-life mpg test. The more economical diesel might make more sense if you cover a lot of miles, but for everyday driving, the Puretech 100 is the engine we recommend.
Specification
Active trim is a great option with its 16in wheels and heated door mirrors. However, we recommend stretching your budget to go for the Allure trim, with its 17in wheels, dual-zone climate control and electric rear windows. GT Line adds more gadgets such as an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, but at an unnecessary expense.
