My current crisis.

So at the end of summer I'm going to get a new car. Long story short, my heart says Clio III RS 200, but my mind says Peugeot 208 GTI 200.

This is my current weigh-up:

The Peugeot is a lot better on fuel. Round my way, it's a bit rarer. Nicer inside, a few toys. Cheaper tax.

The Renault is better looking. Cheaper to buy and insure. Generally easier to maintain (cheaper, more knowledge out there).

Probably a couple of other things I've missed.

There's a lot out there on the net about the Clio, not so much on the 208. Any advice here?

Thanks in advance. Feel free to ask me anything about.... my vehicle requirements.

Oh yeah, a lot of the MoT histories of Clios are questionable. Obviously not so much info available on the 208 because they're a couple of years newer.

If I was to buy now, for a number of reasons reasons, these are likely what I'd buy:
