Peugeot 206 2.0

...I got a call from Peugeot Dealer (Wimbledon) telling me that my Peugeot 206 GTI was in the showroom & ready for collection. I remember the call so well , I was excited & eager to pick up the car, especially after waiting 6 weeks since placing the order. The collection went very smoothly ~ I just signed a few documents & in return I was given two sets of keys & then I was escorted to my new metallic china blue Peugeot 206 GTI, where I drove off with ...
...more for the price tag. Peugeot who are renowned for their sporting heritage in the motor industry have continually pioneered vehicle manufacturing ~ first developing cars for motor racing (World Rally Championship) & then passing all that high performance engine technology, that they have so well perfected, to today’s modern Peugeot cars. A few trivia facts that might interest you: • ~ Jean-Federic Peugeot founded the company. • ~ The company ...

Review of Peugeot 206 2.0

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 ...
...fifth is a little to tall for town work, it is a very usable gear on the open road and not just an overdrive. The action of the gear stick is not the smoothest I have used, and I personally like a heavier spring feel through the gate, but the positive notch into position is handy when trying hard so you don't make a fool of yourself away from the lights. The clutch pedal is very neutral in feel, and enables quick changes without fuss, beware the ...

...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 ...
...to excellent effect by Peugeot here in Europe when creating the diesel versions of its small hatchbacks. Back in the '80s, the French company developed a strongly performing yet frugal 205 by substituting a 1.8 diesel for the 1.1-litre petrol engine. When they added a turbocharger a few years later, the resulting 205 D Turbo was the closest you could get to a 'diesel 205 GTi'. The 206, spiritual successor to the 205, also gets the big-diesel-in-small-car ...

...I have has 5 spoke Peugeot alloy wheels. These give the PUG a sporty look and add to the overall appeal of the car. Other PUG's that don't have the alloys don't compare in terms of aesthetics in my opinion. I think that all 2.0 L versions come with spot lights at the front of the car which is a good thing as they certainly help to widen the beam of light on the road during foggy conditions. Also, they draw attention from fellow drivers and I have ...
...Internally, the dash board is primarily plastic which I don't mind as it is easy to keep clean. Luckily it is also black which ties in nicely with the external décor. They display lights are orange and contrasts well during dark conditions for optimal viewing of speed etc. Driving I love to drive my PUG. Compared to my old fiesta this feels like how I would imagine an Aston Martin drives. The car is smooth at all speeds in all gears and there is ...

Review of Peugeot 206 2.0

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 ...
...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. performance is more then adequate, giving 0-60 times of around 7.5 and a hefty top speed of 132mph. At the same time as this, peugeots classic combination of putting an oversized engine in a small car creates fun in ample amounts. no problems of any significance, and no rattles at all make this little car feel very grown ...

...has just been given a Peugeot 206 gti as a company car, and it's just awesome. It looks really classy than the 306 xsi, even a bit more sporty. When we went for a drive in it, it was so smooth over the bumps and round the corners equally as good. It accelerates really quickly and on the motorway it's just brilliant. Wow...the buzz you get. It makes you feel rather special, you know that you have a car that looks just as good as it drives. Apparently, ...

On 'Top Gear' it was calculated it takes 22 seconds to take the hood off, which isn't that bad. My mates dad's car is blue, compared to our 306xsi cherry red, it does ...

i have owned my gti for a year now and its overall a good realiable car! i brought it for its looks and power. And im not disappointed at all! The engine pulls well having 137bhp! The engine bay is very neat and tidy. The inside is very high quality, has 4 airbags, climate control, cd player and very comfortable. The only problems i have found so far are the airbags wires under the seats come loose when moving your chair forward and back which ...
...from 1st to 2nd its hard to slot in. And the common problem in gti's is the manifold rattle a ticking sound when you acclerate hard. The pipes in the manifold come loose and rattle togeher making a horrible sound like your engine is low of oil! But there the only problems. ...

Hi all About 1 year ago i purchase a 2 year old Pug GTI in silvery blue colour and i tell you something i wouldnt like to part with it. This car comes with loads of gagets and is a great little car for long journeys and short ones. Being a lady who usually drives on her own in the car, i found the locking door button in the middle of the dash great as it reminds you to lock your doors!!!! My partner drove it recently and forgot to take the hand ...
...it also let out an almighty beep stating that he had the handbreak on which shook him as well as myself. i thought a great warning system!! The other thing i like is when it is getting dark and you turn the engine on the lights come on on their own and when you switch off the engine they stay on until you lock the doors, another safety aspect. The only thing i would say is a disadvantage is the cluncking gear box which we have been informed can ...

Review of Peugeot 206 2.0

The Peugeot 206GTI has the legendary 205 GTI to follow, but can it match the well known performance? I bought my GTi in April 2002, just after my 19th Birthday. It was to replace my one year old Fiesta Zetec (1.25), which was losing out on the drive to work each day. Mondeo's and Vectra's would fly past, leaving my Fiesta standing. So, I was decided, a new car was needed. With about £13k to spend, the choice was somewhat limited. The Clio 172 was ...
...A trip to the Peugeot garage one Saturday morning was planned. The dealer was very pleasant, offering tea and biscuits. He showed us around the car, giving me various pieces of literature on the vehicle. Finance was sorted out and a reasonable part exchange value was agreed. Delivery took place in April. First impressions were good. The car was clean, and being a nice sunny day, shone gloriously on the Peugeot forecourt. After the dealers advice ...
