206

[Prickle]

Im thinking about getting one of these in the next month or so are they ok etc?

Do they have the same exhaust fitment for the backbox as the saxo? haha as im going to put my SS on it.

[PETE-VTR]

they are..... slow!

and look abit girly imo.

not too sure about the backbox fitment tho mate, you'd have to take a gamble

[gary2008]

they nice cars them john a dont no much about them like lol

[Bowey]

personally wouldnt have one.. there french and also look girly as hell

[Prickle]

Saxo's are girly too tbf so thats ok, not bothered about pulling power tbh haha, anybody on here own on or had one?

Not defiantly wanting one just want peoples opinions.

[LVC_VTR]

well my mate had one and it was forever going wrong but if you own a saxo then you'll know all about unreliability ;)

the gti is pretty quick but i dont think thats one you want is it?

my mate had the 1.4 and that was ok for a 1.4 but i wouldnt have one as they are pretty girly :homme:

[Prickle]

Ok that maybe ruled out haha, ive seen some nice ones tbh.

other suggestions, 106, Fiat bravo, Polo, clio 1.4 rt il think of a few others..

206 do look canny like. ;)

[PETE-VTR]

my mams got the 1.4 and like i said before its got hardly any pulling power she hates it.

what about another sax or 106

[gary2008]

why dont you get a vtr or a vts john???

[Prickle]

why dont you get a vtr or a vts john???

Well insurance tbh, i will get another saxo or might be yet but itl be a newer 1.1i as im not bothered about power yet. :homme:

[JamesR]

The red clio above has potential imo

[-Jason-]

Get a cheap mk1 vtr and spend the difference on insurance will be a much more fun car

Can you get a 172 kit to fit a normal one?

[Prickle]

Can you get a 172 kit to fit a normal one?

I imagine so?

but itl have to have the newer lights though?

[VTRelite]

driven the gti 180 and that pulled quite well :p

[Mr_X]

furio? or a 172.


206's are too girlie

[JamesR]

driven the gti 180 and that pulled quite well :p

Dont you mean the 182 :wacko:

[TU-Tuning]

Dont you mean the 182 :wacko:

GTi 180 is the top range 206 dude


Other than that theyre all bitterly bitterly slow. I could beat my mates GTi in my stripped out furio lol.

[dannyboycov1991]

my mate has got a 206 1.9 hdi, its been remapped and a few other bits, nothing expensive and that pulls well.
only insurance group 5 iirc?

[kclipston]

206 was the worse car i ever had, kept going wrong, everything constantly needed replacing (was even worse than my saxo on realiability) :wall::wall: getting one was the worse mistake ive ever made ........... hope this helps :D never had any of the others but my cousin has a clio which is pretty nippy for a 1.2 and he loves it :y:

[beanhead]

a 206xsi will beat a vtr and the xsi is only insurance group 6

[0rang3peel]

a 206xsi will beat a vtr and the xsi is only insurance group 6

bollocks will it

[weetz]

Sure its not a 2.0 HDI? never heard of a 1.9 hdi...sorry to nitpick

[-Dan-]

I personally don't see it as an upgrade mate, but is up to you I suppose. Why not look for a Westie or a Furio? Good mod-ability, pretty nippy, nice looks, and will defo take the SS? Also Lol @ 172, If he can't afford VTR Insurance, I don't really think an Insurance group 16 car will appeal much... haha.

a 206xsi will beat a vtr and the xsi is only insurance group 6

Beat it at what? Beat it at being heavy, slow and girly maybe... but not a lot else

Noob.

[jasonwellwicked]

Go VAG!! May be boring etc, but can look the mutz if going for the Euro look... and also pretty reliable, and hold their value well (which for those not on a full time salary has got to be a big plus)

To reiterate above posts; A 206 is a girls car, you dont want a girls car do you?

iJoke

[0rang3peel]

what about a lupo, most of the cars you suggested were epicly shite tbh, atleast you can make a slow lupo look lush

[PETE-VTR]

bollocks will it

206's are sluggish, even the gti's arent nothing to shout about

[phillyh]

My first car was a 206, in my case, nothing went wrong, AT ALL.
Its a solid comfy car tbh.

[Aly]

I'd only get a 206 after 53 tbh since they did a face lift.....changed the boot a bit and the front and rear lights and the puegeot badges.....and the interiors were better....your decision though.

[JamesR]

Thats what makes then fast, and nimble because there so light.

[Prickle]

Ok than lol no to one of them

[Chris_O]

my bro had a gti couple of years back, thought it was alright, dont like the looks of them though.




I could beat my mates GTi in my stripped out furio lol.

dont know how that works?! my bros gti was rapid compared to my furio!

[Jazz]

If you like them John then why not? Go for it.

[Aaron]

my mate had one and his dash set on fire.

[Prickle]

If you like them John then why not? Go for it.

They are nice, dad likes them but he aint driving it :homme:

Seen a really nice red civic tonight haha, sound sweet not sure on what car il decide when i have enough money. :y:

It was red one like this;

http://www.hondacivic.ro/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/99hondacivicdxhatchbackr3-4500.jpg

Id really like one of these tbh.

[Aaron]

the ek civics are nice. when smoooothhhheeeed & slammed.

id rather go for the civic tbh

Ya they look shit hot man, i think il save for one of them always liked civics.

[Chr15]

Not read the whole thread.

Dont do it!

Yes they look ok and are lower on insurance. I went and tried a 1.4 GLX before getting the 'S.

Felt horrible to drive. Peddles felt weird and the gear stick could have snapped at any second as it didnt seem very strong, also seemed up in the air.

As said, go for an 'R or 'S if you can afford it or stick with a 1.1i if you just want it for A - B.

[Keefo]

Id say get one if you want mate, my mum had one from new and 8 years on, not a single thing wrong with it at all....

Its a great car and pretty nippy for a 1.4...

[saxoboy1234]

the 1.4 i civics are v fast my vtr couldnt keep up with it through 1 rst and second

[0rang3peel]

civic would be a good shout imo.

And yes saxo's are dustbins on wheels but thats not the point you don't need to be mr hawking to know that a 1.6 quite light dustbin is quicker than a 1.4 heavy 206

[TU-Tuning]

Get a 1.5 VTEC EK in white mate. Awesome car. White alloys and coilovers and your laughing

[saxoboy1234]

get a reliant robin

Mates a bit of a shit driver to be fair, but its still pretty slow

[Danr]

I drive a 206 gti. Coming from a vtr they are quicker. If you can get one with all the mod cons. Climate control etc. It can feel sometimes that you do sit more on the car and not in it but according to most journos it's the same in a 172 but you never hear about people on here complaining about them. I'm not sure on the bore of the exhaust. The gti gas a wider bore than any saxo but the majority of other models share the same engines so in theory shouldn't be different!

Yeah i think im going to pass a 206 haha, as for a 1.1i it may happen but id rather save longer for a civic as they seem very smart.

Id love one they look uber smart haha.

[D4N91]
