If I could change one thing .....

So if you could wave a wand and change one thing about the 206cc what would it be.

My car's 2 months old and so far no problems so I'm not going to go for build quality etc.

For me it would be the sound of the engine/exhaust. I've yet to go above 4000rpm, not so much because of desire to "run it in" but the engine note isn't exactly inviting. My previous Alfa seemed to "invite you" to stay in a gear for longer by the nice noises it makes.

Does anybody have any kit fitted (exhausts etc) that makes it sound better?

I notice BMW's new Z4 has some sort of resonance chamber to allow the "right" noises from the engine into the passenger comparment so it's not just me that like a nice sound.

For the record I don't think I've ever driven a car with as good a combination of fun, cost and practicality as the 206cc, cheers

I would change the windscreen wiper mechanism, i think its bulky and awkward looking, and when the wipers are on it looks "jerky"...

I'd make the boot so it auto-vertically moved up or down depending on whether there was a roof or luggage in the back.

Or something.

My brain hurts.

Heated seats comes in Finland as standard (in 2.0 models).
