Are you looking at just the GTi?

or the GTi180 aswell?

bexster82 · 13th April 2008, 13:25

being a female im not sure what it is tbh

all i know is its a Pug 206 GTI (2L) - 52 reg - 37 thou mileage - for £4g's

They're very nice-looking cars, many say not as involving to drive as a Saxo although I haven't driven one personally. A bit more grown up, a few more toys. Have a drive and make sure you get it mechanically checked by someone in the know. When things go wrong your little purse starts to feel verrrry light. Find a good one, happy days

bexster82 · 13th April 2008, 13:45

ok ty

Danr · 13th April 2008, 14:01

They are lovely! Quick and really comfortable. Try and get the updated one with automatic wipers and lights.

I am putting a deposit down on one later today

Jackman · 13th April 2008, 14:02

GTi:

GTi 180:

Raz · 13th April 2008, 14:04

GTi180 is best

love the colour of the above aswell

laura_g · 13th April 2008, 14:04

gti's are well nice although renaults are better wana by my clio off me??? only messing my mates mum had one of these right little nippers they are

bexster82 · 13th April 2008, 14:09

do both GTI's(meaning gti and gti180) have the leather interior and AC etc?

the one im looking at has these - but its not that nice blue tho is the silver one!

Danr · 13th April 2008, 14:11

All have aircon and half leather. Well, should do. The GTI180 has more sporty seats but cost a hell of alot more to buy and to insure. They are pretty rapid though!

The very first gti's didn't have as many goodies as the later ones though

bexster82 · 13th April 2008, 14:12

ok ty Dabr - the one im looking at isnt the 180 then - thats for sure.

its only £4g's - 52 reg - 37000 miles

Danr · 13th April 2008, 14:13

Sounds like a good price for the mileage. They can go on for ever if they are serviced and the little bits kept on top of.

What colour is it?

bexster82 · 13th April 2008, 14:17

its silver hun

yeah it comes with full Pug service history too which is a bloody bonus - its not a dead cert tho depends on the finance - lol

i love my VTR tho but im not sure i want a mod car even thou its not heavily modded - need something suttle now lol getting old

Hi unsure if you got my PM,

206 GTI grp 14 insurance

Goodies include, Aircon, Auto Lights & wipers, nice leather interior and colour coding as standard in the phase 2's

a claimed 138 BHP standard quite nippy (drove both) felt good and solid compared to my mk2 vtr at the time, it also felt more grown up.The seats are very nice like arm chairs lol very comfortable i found.

206 GTI 180 grp 17

A claimed 180 BHP now obviously for the rise in insurance groups as youd expect quite abit of difference in acceleration that i noticed. The seats are bucket style leather alacantra and hold you in place when cornering. The 180 offers climate control, bigger alloys, twin pipe exhaust and a quite nice engine bay as standard, its lower and also missing a spare wheel lol.

I own a 180 but i didnt completely overlook the gti and as pugs go the 206 is very nice.

If your going to end up modding the car i wouldnt bother with the 180, it is so damn expensive to mod and gain power. Most people actually loose power, luckily i defineatly havent lol.

Now,

One thing to look for when buying a gti is the engine cut out problem that some suffer, this is only found in the 138 models and pug cant fix it which is abit of a pain. So dig around a little, obviously check that all pannels line up, no extra paints, and broken clips to suggest its not been looked after.

Search my name on here and you will eventually come accross a thread on a text HPI test for £1.50.

They are a great lot just like on here.

Hope this helps you
