I had a high-spec DS3 diesel rental for a couple of months in summer 2013 - the fleets were full of them at one stage as if dumping unsold stock. Really nice to drive - ended up at one stage letting my nephew practice on it when he was learning to drive because the controls were so easy and friendly. But 2 big flaws - almost no rear legroom even with seats fairly well forward - impossible for anyone more than 10 years old to use back seats. And the very snazzy shiny black "wood"/chrome trim all round the cabin was already badly scratched despite only being a month or two old. So after a year it would have been a total mess. I was never very keen on the 208 - it felt built down to a price rather than designed to be enjoyed - but I'd guess it was the better choice in the real world outside the shiny showroom.
