Afternoon all,

I'm currently looking at the Fiesta ST and the 208 GTI (most likely the prestige rather than the Pug Sport) for the Mrs and I'm looking for opinions from people who've either owned both or driven both for a reasonably length that can offer a decent comparison.

Apologies for yet another Vs thread. I realise there are plenty previous threads full of opinions but I've not been able to find many from people who have actually driven both, particularly over a longer period. We have test drives of both booked for later this week.

Car will be used for her daily commuting and regular runs up to the north west of Scotland where I like a hoon (normally on the bike).

Your thoughts appreciated.

No one with experience of both?

She tried the ST today and really quite liked it. Didnt really have an opportunity to exploit it though. 208 tomorrow.

I had a fiesta ST and I loved it, it was horrid at low speeds but so chuckable with a great induction noise, the engine roar at 80ish was quite high though and the radio was pretty naff but sounded great

My mum had a 208, not a GTI but I preferred the interior and you could sit much lower and the seats where great with the small wheel and dials
