Hey
New to the site, just thought I'd say hi.
Looking into getting a 206cc in next couple of weeks. Just trying to decide whether to get a 1.6 or 2l cos of the milage I do. Any recommendations??
Will post pics once I finally part with my ickle baby and all that cash!

Definitely recommend the 2.0 over the 1.6.

as above, definitely the 2.0 as it's a decent match of power to body weight - the 1.6 I found underpowered

2.0 is a bit of a guzzler though if your worried about miles. 1.6 is quick enough if you're not a boy racer.

Good choice Trouble. The 1.6 is economical and good to drive with enough power to be fun. You are clearly happy with the price you've paid, and if the car is a good one which has been looked after, you are looking forward to a glorious summer. Just watch those heads turn as you put the roof down sitting at the traffic lights! ENJOY !!! Best Wishes, and welcome to 206CC ownership - Ron
