Peugeot 206 2.0

They say that it’s a waste of money to buy a brand new car, and to a certain extent I would have to agree with that statement. But only if you plan to buy a new car using a finance loan or a credit agreement plan ~ only then would I not recommend it. Not only are the monthly payments pretty high but also from the moment you drive your vehicle away it is de-valued by a couple of thousand pounds. On the other hand if you plan to buy a new car by paying the full amount outright, then I would have to say that its not such a bad investment after all. • ~ Firstly, purchasing a new car comes with ... more

ive owned a peugeot 206 gti Sp for 9 months on a t registration Good points Super engine, pulls very strongly from low revs with a noticeable boost above 4000 rpm, very strong but smooth acceleration right up to redline. Overtaking is no problem in any gear, changing down is not required unless showing off. Throttle response is instant both on and off. Around town the engine pulls very smoothly, and its all to easy to find yourself breaking the local speed limits. The gearbox has well spaced ratio's. Although fifth is a little to tall for town work, it is a very usable gear on the open road ... more

Now its not a GTi but a HTi. Not petrol, but Diesel!!! Its not a stinking Hot hatch but a luke warm equivalent. Im not sure that peugeot should even have tried to bring out a car under the 20# genre after their exceeedingly popular 205 model but, they did anyway and also brought their successful diesel along with it! The Americans and the Australians have a simple recipe for producing a car with decent performance and plenty of mid-range 'oomph'. They work on the principle of 'there ain't no substitute for cubic inches' and drop in the biggest engine that will fit. That approach has also been ... more

Firstly I don't confess to being a motor car expert so throughout this review you will not find references to torque, specific acceleration rates and speeds etc etc. I offer my apologies to anyone who was searching for these. Looks My PUG is jet black and I love it for that reason. The dirt that sometimes builds up doesn't show up too much by day and certainly not by night so I can afford to leave it that little bit longer before I depart with a fiver at the local garage. After a trip to the garage, followed by a hot wash with wax the car looks spanking and new. It looks so good I can see ... more

I recently bought a X registration "206 GTi and have now found it to be one of the most rewarding cars to own, drive and show off! bought from new, after importing in from Holland the 2001 spec GTi includes minor trim differences, only noticable to the best trained, and slightly more usable features as three rear head rests, which are both comfortable to use (unlike the front) and add that little something to the car to give it more of the grown up feel it boasts. It has now done 2500 miles in just under two months, and i can honestly say that it is the best car i have come close to owning ... more
