Opinions people 208 THP 1.6 vs DS3 THP 1.6

[THE_EGG]

Alright people, my current scenario is that my current n/a DS3 really doesn't have enough grunt for me and I find the auto-box really annoying (not changing gear in drive when I want it to and being jerky in manual mode and only being 4-speed :O). Anyway, I asked my salesman who sold me the car to keep me posted about cheap deals for trading it my DS3 for the THP DS3 Sport or the THP 208 Sport and some have come up recently and the trade-in cost is cheaper than what I was going to spend on my current DS3 in upgrades + both the 208 and DS3 THP have more gadgets. The biggest reason I'm considering these two is that the 125kw/tonne ratio came in in QLD at the start of this year for turbocharged vehicles. And from what I've heard from friends and from the answers I got from the department of the transport, the exemption form is only used to clarify/verify that yes the car is under 125kw/tonne.

I should note that the 208 is about 80kg lighter than the DS3 and has a roomier cabin and has the exact same engine as the DS3 so it is ~0.3 of a second fast than the DS3 0-100km/h (probably not noticeable in the real world).

Note I plan to have a test drive within the next week or two.

Peugeot 208 THP 1.6
Pros (over DS3 THP 1.6)
- Newer
- WAY More kit
- Cheaper servicing costs than DS3 (I know that's weird but it's true)
- I don't think the styling will date as much as the DS3

Cons (over DS3 THP 1.6)
- Costs more
- Unsure of tunes availability and upgrade parts because of the car being new
- 'Scratchier/harder' plastics used in the interior vs DS3 (need to clarify that myself when I test-drive)

Citroen DS3 THP 1.6
Pros (over 208 THP 1.6)
- Cheaper
- Comfirmed that upgrades are available for it for in the future (few years down the track)
- Been out for a while now, without anything major going wrong

Cons
- Not as much kit as the 208
- Storage is pretty terrible (one cupholder in the whole car etc) in the cabin
- I might get bored with it more quickly as I have already had a DS3 before

As you can see, I'm in a bit of a confused state at this juncture. Thanks for the incoming opinions!
