106 vs 206
Im just considering the possibility of one of these cars, not really too sure which one i prefer though, i was looking at a 106 quiksilver, but does anyone prefer a 206 to 106? is it just looks you prefer or performance? reliability ???
cheers

The 106 is smaller and not as heavy so it'll feel more powerful.
Personally I'd go for the 106 Quicksilver.

I owned a 106 and have driven a couple of 206's and I would get a 106 anyday of the week over a 206 tbh - the 106 is smaller, more roomy and the handling is alot better especially with some half decent tyres on

306 HDI, faster than the quicksilvers, group 5 insurance, so its only one more, diesel so you get 50MPG, and with a stage one map (£250) will keep up with vts's

I'd personally go for the 106 quicksilver, but it's your choice that matters most.

106. 206 is underpowered for its weight, and the handlings nothing special which is bad times as the only two things French cars are good at is nimble low speed handling and good power to weight ratios. So theyre shite.
