Well my ex had a 106 and it was god damn awful to drive. Mind you it didn't have power steering and even that tiny car felt like a tank ro drive around corners.

The interior of the 106 sucks. The 206 interior was comfy in the one I had (Quiksilver).

Wont have been a GTI so. The 106GTI is like a totally different car to a standard 106. 106GTI>206***.

That's a hell of an amount of money to spend on a girls car

You could have got the real deal for just under £3.5k

i acctually quite like this car.

would never buy one myself however i think the styling is great, will be able to sell the cage for £200ish so a bit of money made back on the car.

hope nothing gos wrong with it!

I never said how much i spent on it, and £4k is not the correct answer

Tom, had no allergys to the thread, simply went off the PC

lol! well my mate seems to think the engine had bmw involement,had me thinking wtf as they never really made 4 pots. The brakes I'm thinking of the 406 coupe i think?

IS he by any chance thinking of the 207 GTI? The one that shares its engine (IIRC) with the new new Mini cooper S.

As for the ops car - not my cup of tea at all and I can think of many cars that I would have instead of it.

I hope not, you could have bought two of the *******-child-of-longbridge-and-his-japanese-whore (my car) for that.

The fact Gaijins car was in budget further highlights the stratospheric levels of failiure in PhilW's latest car choice.

He seems destined to never own a good car.

Looks very shiny. I'm not a fan of "show" cages, or the wheels, or the 206 in general.

Enjoy it

I drive a £150 Volvo so what would I know

DannyW · 11 Mar 2008 at 23:11

so how much did you pay for it?

i don't mind the 206 gti at all, but i could NEVER buy a modified car they've got RAGGED written all over them

Oh dear,, what a disaster.

Show cage lol.

It looks like most other 'mildly modified' 206s out there. It might have a bit of poke compared to most with its 2ltr engine, but as many others have said you could have got sooooo much better for your money.

Don't even get me started with reliability, a number of my friends have had 206s, and NONE of them have had a reliable one. One of them even decided to constantly cut-out when at higher speeds on M-ways or A roads. Dealer kept saying everything was fine and refusing to really find out the root cause of the problem.

Sorry, but FAIL
