Not a Massive fan of them, not fun to drive, takes some time to get up to speed and only thing i think 206's are good for is snow they plough through it like its not there. thats my experience of them anyway.

I had one and it was crap I sold it and bought the vtr apart from being stupidly expensive to run they cost a lot to maintain

Dont get me wrong they look great but drive like shit and cost the world

My advise don't get one

depends on spec, if its an early one they only make 130bhp and there quite a bit heavier too than the sax, but if its the later 180bhp they can shift ass and handle pretty well also. the gf has a 1.4 and i find the pedals are to close together for mens larger feet. which is a pain. I think there a nice looking car and i would have one but only the 180, interior is nice than sax, extras are good also. :y:

im actually looking into a 206 myself bt it would be the GTI 180. i wouldnt get the normal GTI ... i think the 180s are beautiful.. Drove one myself and i felt that it was much stirdier than my VTR, Less rattly. Feel more grown up " so to speak " ... I may get one TBH

the 138 adition has tiop speed of 132mph the 180 has a top speed of 140mph not exactly a bog difference when you have an extra 40bhp

and as mentioned they just aint fun to drive i did love mine tho but it was just the looks i think

just in case you wanted to see it

I've jus written a 206 off and it wasn't a great car tbh the driving postion is awful and being 6ft2" I had to have the seat all the way back. And could easily press 2 pedals down at once they are so close together. I have only owned my R a few weeks and already a much nicer place to be and drive so much better aswell.
