At the moment the 180 is favourite.

Why what makes you say that, we have had no real problems with Pug, try having a Ford then you have problems...

Last year JD power series voted the Yaris as its top car.

Designed in Japan Built in France I believe.

I am the other way. I hate Japanese engineering. We have a few Jap machines at work and when they go wrong they go wrong in a big way and are the hardest machines to work on. No thought is put into the poor sods that have to repair and maintain the things. I tried changing a stereo in my mates Toyota 4 by 4. I gave up after an hour. I later found out that the complete dash had to come out. Totally over engineered or just plain stupid

Each to their own.

The 206 CC is built in France and the other 206 models are built in GB. Not sure where the new 180 is being built, but if its GB then I would probably give it a miss.

I've also seen a Yaris with the T Sport badging, this can't have the same engine as the Corolla/Celica can it?
No, the Yaris T Sport has got a 'normal' 1.5 engine. No mad kick at 6000rpm like the Corolla/Celica.

The Yaris has only 100ish bhp, nothing at all like the corolla, but it is a damn ugly car. I'm allowed to slag since the wife has one.

Can't believe people are gonna pay so much for a 206, but my choice would be the Type R or Clio 172. Preferably i would like the Integra Type R but want a UK machine.

Anyhoot whats your opinions on the Megane hatch then?

Yes Jap cars are ok but they are all the same, as you say Jap cars are ok but when they go wrong watch out, imports are the worst cant get parts even stuff like bulbs . These are different to european cars.
