I am thinking of changing to a 1.6 petrol engine with conventional automatic gearbox. This is because almost all of our journeys are just a couple of miles and at the moment we use the 12 year old 206 a majority of the time.

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">Our 2008 therefore has only done 2800 miles since new and spends most of its time being waxed or just sitting in its garage.

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">I'd like to know from an existing petrol auto model owner what they think about the driving comfort/petrol consumption etc, and whether they think it worth going for the current model now or holding back and waiting for the new 3 cylinder with 6 speed auto that's due out in 9 or 12 months time.

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">I'll get a better price for my present 2008 now compared to 9 or 12 months time but the new engine will be better on MPG and probably free of RFL.

<div style="line-height: 16.7999992370605px;">I'm thinking though that the saving on the current value will vastly outweigh the better MPG and RFL savings if I wait.
