Pug GTI 180 got a bit of a slating!

I want a V6.....how much do you reckon you can get for a kidney these days?

 

[Dansta]

i could sell my cup to pay the insurance!

Blue is just the old French racing colour. Just like BRG for the UK, White or Silver for the Germans, Red for the Italians, and White with Blue for the USA.

And the reason that British Racing Green was chosen dates back to the days of the Gordon Bennet Trophy when racing was not allowed on English roads, and the races were held in Ireland.

 

[Dansta]

hmmmmm

 

[Scudetto]

so should that be Irish Racing Green then?

Give us the Goss on the 206 then!

 

[geordiepaul]

Its slow and rubbish(full stop)

Nah they said the CTR was miles better so it must be rubbish . 0-60 in 7.3 cant remember the rest. Seats look nice though

I saw this post, read it, and 20 seconds later I was out the door off to get a hold of a copy.

Looks stunning, performance is up considerably, 0-62 - 5.8 and 0-100 - tad over 14!!!!

Does anyone know the options available, it states that the basci price is 27 grand rising to 30 grand with options, but I cant see any!?

 

[telford_mike]

Sat-nav will cover half the difference.

The 206 has put on the beef a bit!

1100KG

Cup owners neednt worry!

I dont think standard 206 GTI owners need worry!

Here is what they have to say about the Pug: http://www.peugeot-gti.net/forums/showthread.php?s=6ad762b9bfb1be34c69b49ee444ef685&threadid=35468http://www.peugeot-gti.net/forums/showthread.php?s=6ad762b9bfb1be34c69b49ee444ef685&threadid=35468

Small world. I know the CTR owner who made that post. He used to have a 206 GT, the one with the large bumpers based on the GTi. It caused him nothing but trouble, so hes still very bitter by the sounds of it.

I notice hes not commented on the Clio review!
