Is the 206CC a "Womans Car"

Grinderman · Post by **Grinderman** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:31 pm

Hi All

I am not an owner of a 206CC yet, but will be shortly i hope, dispite the
comment in a bar "Thats a Womans Car", from i guess a boring VW Golf
owner.
Anyhow i was disappointed when i saw the 206CC brochure at home, there was
not one man in it. Then again women seem to be used to sell everything nowdays.

So let me see the votes.
Women owners, Vote Yes
Men Owners, Vote No

I'm still buying one, no matter the result.

We've got a 206cc and we're a married couple. Bought it as a birthday present for my wife. We usually go out together in it. See more girls than blokes driving others though. Just buy what you like, we did, and we've never regretted it.
A lovely little motor, especially in Spring, Summer and Autumn.

It's tucked up in the garage for winter though.

If you want one, buy one! I have had mine since May last year and never regretted it. My previous cars were a Ford Ka, two Fiestas, an old Citroen Visa and two old minis - I suspect they are also the sort of cars driven mainly by women. I've had no-one teasing me about the CC. A female colleague of mine has one and she says her husband keeps borrowing it!

Best of luck

Oh yeah im getting one alright.

Interesting that you like the Ka, i love the look, but have
never been in one. I was even considering getting a StreetKa.
So many people are buying 4x4s and SUVs in Ireland, i think
that there will be a big change to small cars in about 5 years.

I'm a gay man. The gays love it. I like nothing more than recreating the classic clip of Kylie singing I should be so lucky as her perm was blown around in the back of the white BMW

Where I'm from its 95% middle aged woman (always in a blue one) and the green ones are for the gays.

I never liked Green as a colour, no offence.
Its a Manly black one for me then.

Hey Rammy I have a Visa convertible. A real girls car, but dead ugly. I called it the silver pig. It was the only car that I sold for more than what I paid for it.

Yes the CC is a bit of a girls car, but It doesnt bother me. So long as Im having fun I couldnt give a s"!t what others think.

By the way I am a man last time I looked.

Don't worry ! It's a great car for everybody. Just pick your favourite color and have fun! Mine is red, when I bought it 2 years ago the color was very rare back here in Germany. And I love to drive red cars! I don't care what people think, I have to pay for the car and I have to drive it - not "the people". You will love your CC - promise !

I agree! My CC is red and I think it looks great in this colour.

My old Citroen Visa was blue and I didn't like it much - very underpowered, freezing in winter (the heater barely worked) and the most annoying thing was that the indicators weren't self-cancelling. The only thing in its favour is that it was very economical. But I had a lot of problems with it even though it was quite low mileage and only 6 years old when I bought it.
My Ford Ka (red) was fun to drive and super to park but definitely prefer the CC! Talking of Kylie I think she once advertised the StreetKa - and I remember her video in the back of the white BMW!

A Visa!! How dare you tarnish this site with such talk! Glad someone else remembers the Kylie video - I also like to recreate the Step Back in Time vid where she is sat on the boot. I saw the street Ka add - it almost made me buy one until I saw how small they are... perfect for Kylie - not so much for someone who's 6ft 2.

Man or Woman's car the cc is great!!

I have just got the 2.0 SE in green, got lots of chav bits on it and told my hubby its a girlie car so he keeps his mits off it, got a feeling it aint going to work!!!!!!

He might listen, but I drive my wife's 206cc more than she does. Just start as you mean to go on and get in the driver's side quick when you go out!
Where abouts in Leics were you before you moved to the IOW?

Most definitely a womans car (or male hair-dresser). I bought one for my wife last year, however I like to feel that I'm in touch with my feminine side and have actually driven it on a few ocassions. The last time I drove it with the roof down, I had a bunch of lads laughing at me which dented my male ego and I haven't driven it since.

It's now for sale. Check out the 'For Sale' section.
