Peugeot 206 GTi (138)

[r1ch]

I do like the 206, I would really like a go in the 180.

If I bought the 138, I would think to myself every day, why didn't i get the 306 gti?

Quicker (167bhp with 6 gears), cheaper, and better looking.

The one I had must have been a lemon as had nothing but problems with it...power steering pump, lumpy running and general niggling electrical issues, but still loved the car and only got rid as got a good trade in price for it.

My mate had the 180 which I thought looked much better than the 138 with its bigger 17inch wheels, and better seats. Would have another if I was 21-25...prob a bit old at 30 to drive one now.

Will always have a soft spot for the 206. Have been contemplating a 138 as a project, but at present its out of the question.

Yours looks nice, what sort of MPG are you getting?

Best I've had is 35mpg on mainly motorway. 26-27 around town. I always pinch myself when I think of modding my motor because for the price of a cat cams and re map (around £500 for an extra 23bhp) I could sell this and get a 180 with loads more kit than just the extra power.

Agreed with all the above, but at the time group 15 was a tad too much, also very hard to find a nice unmolested one and not to sure about the interiors, they look very dated. Personally I would go for a 306 rallye and they seem to have become a slightly more collectible 3k + item now.

Holly thread resurrection etc..

I bought my mum one as a run around but the ride seems very hard on b roads and uneven roads, and seem to have a nasty wandering effect on bumpy roads around 60. Runs well but just the ride issue, might sell it. Does sticking other wheels on help?

Is the suspension stock?
