Diesels definately dont rock, I never want another diesel
What did you have, and why was it so bad?

The same as you m8, only older. A 306 XRD 1.9, L reg.

Its just the clunky noise it made whilst idling, and also the fact that i could never maintain my speed going up hill, and could certainly not accelerate going up hill.

yes they are and the look a bit stuck on.

also looks like they noticed at the last minute that they forgot to put mirrors on and stuck them anywhere

apart from that it looks ok but i think i would prefer the 307CC

Just remember thats only Autoexpress's guess what the 207cc will look like, possibly an educated guess, but a guess nevertheless.

Mine's the 2 litre turbo HDi. My Mum had an M reg 1.9 diesel and it was like driving a JCB, but the HDi turbo engine is totally different. With a few basic mods you can get it up to the same BHP as the 1.6 CC, and it's not too difficult to get it to 160BHP which would give the 2 litre CC a run for its money.

on 0-60 times maybe, but i have driven a 306 D Turbo, and the only problem is that once you approach 90 you are getting uncomfortably close to the red line

doesnt it pop at 110? i cant remember exactly, but i know that no matter how much power you wont get them going all that fast!

Of course thats fine for most peoples road use (Paul excepted

) I only go above a ton myself if i'm in a real hurry

True, there's not a great deal above about 110 and it's a stretch getting up that fast, but to be honest I rarely go above 100 because my driving license is too important to me!!

Mine wasnt a turbo, maybe that was the problem. But i have to say it didnt drink fuel like my cc does! And it had a larger tank!

Riss may be letting me get a new car!!!! We have the CC which she will keep and I may get a Civic type R or something like that or Astra GSR, getting rid of the Colt Car lease vehicle.

i saw this french magazine on the bookstand the other day
auto-journal
found a pic of it on the web
http://www.viapresse.com/kio_autojourna ... erture.jpg

i like the way this 207cc looks
i love the the way the door has a swish mark on it near the front fender
using my somewhat limited french i understood from the article that this is meant to copy the ferrari 456!
and i also read that peugeot has produced 200,000 cc's so far

Looking at these pics, doesn't it make the 206CC look dated! What's also interesting is that on the last picture, the front fogs section is identical to my ph3 306.

Sorry. I prefer the 206. Those lights are too high, for one thing - and too big.

like i said in the PM's to you, i am ok to display the scans and have had permission for nearly 3 years, just as long as autoexpress have a link to their home page www.autoexpress.co.uk as per the emails i have, then they are ok about it.
