    Hi,

    Any thoughts on the above ? Both are 2016 petrol around €15k, Peugeot 1.2, Hyundai 1.4.

    I'm a low mileage user and think the Hyundai would be more economical. Is that Peugeot heavy on petrol, the body seems quite big for a 1.2 engine? Also a bit concerned as 2016 was the last year of the MPV look Peugeot 3008 and the lovely snazzy looking model arrived in 2017 so would that make the older 2016 model practically worthless in a few years time?

    Also what's the story on the Peugeot reliability?

    Seems to be a limited number of mid range models available in petrol.

    Many thanks for any advice.

    How did you arrive at that short list? Very different cars

    The Hyundai will be lighter on petrol and probably more reliable by virtue of the fact that it’s not turbocharged. It is a smaller car though.
    Fuel consumption can’t be too important to a low mileage user?
