Peugeot 206 GTi

Anyone own one of these?
I am thinking of buying one for the missus, and wanted to know what a longer term owners views on them are..

Any feedback, comments, links etc gratefully accepted

Cheers,

Good car m8 , suffer from usual rattles that come in time from a poorly built trim , but generally regarded as a good car .
The gearboxes are prone to knacker up diff bearings on well hammered examples but this isnt a very expensive thing to overcome .
If you get a brand new one , beware of depreciation , this is a bit of a sod on brand new hot hatches , they will easily lose a third of their value in just over one year . Also imports have knocked the price , making a new import now cheaper then the book price on a second hand uk supplied model , so bargains are there to be had m8.
Good choice if you ask me , unless you can get a cheap secondhand renault clio 172 , this wipes the 206's arse big time , and could be well worth the extra cash .

Do a search as I posted a couple of 206 forums a while back for someone else.

I have one (2000 X - bought second hand last January), as Urbs says it does rattle a bit - it's not as quick as the 172 (and nor I believe is the GTi 180).

Reliability wise I've not had any problems with mine.

If you have any more specific questions fire away.
