    Sure the wheelbase is different for both cars (DS3 is shorter). Otherwise I don't know.

    Are Citroen and Peugeot normally using same manufactrers for springs and shocks ?

    I guess there are drivers that have tested both cars that could say something on drive-feeling on both cars.
    Logically the longer wheelbase on the 208, should mean less nervous behaviour.

    Fiesta
    Overall length: 3975 mm
    Wheelbase: 2489

    So aprox same length, and wheelbase in between the PSA twins.

    I have seen the Fiesta WRC listed as 2480 mm and the Fiesta S2000 at 2489 mm.
    How much can wheel base change on events due to rock impacts etc?
