Peugeot 206 GTI

[JustAndy]

Does anyone know much about these? Ive found one that i went to look at today and im going back for a test drive tomorrow, insurance isnt that bad at all to say its a 2.0 engine and the car itself is pretty cheap for a 2000 model with 89k miles on it
And yes i know its not a fiat

It's french, It will break. Sky high mileage for a french car .

This. Woefully underpowered as well for a 2.0.

Not even a warm hatch.

I found it very nippy tbh, but thats probably because im used to driving my 1.2
I think im still gonna get it and if i dont like it my mum said she would buy it off me because she wants it too

weak gearboxes

as Dave says weak gearboxes/drive shafts.

still a nice looking car, i'd go for a VTS myself

(i know they also have weak gearboxes LOL)

I disagree. Very generic boring looking car.

they both are really, both based on standard hatchbacks, VTS just handles better in my opinion, probably a bit quicker too.

VTS has more of a cockish image though

that wouldn't bother me, i gave up worrying about what others though when i realised it didn't matter

by the way, i'm not saying the pug is a bad car! far from it.

lol yeah i know im going to get abuse for driving a french piece of **** but i dont care, as long as im happy with it
Hopefully, if the car hasnt been sold i might be putting a deposit down on it tomorrow

Yeah i will enjoy it, good thing is its already lowered so one less thing to tick off the list and also a nice backbox too so i probably wont do too much to it but if i do get it i will keep an up to date thread on here too for anyone that cares
Good thing is i dont share my car with anyone so i can pick what i want!

If I were you, I'd get this...

With something a little bit bigger under the bonnet
