206cc diesel version

Thinking of trading in my 1.6 engine version for the new HDI diesel 206cc which has been launced recently. (the latest Allure diesel looks nicely loaded with goodies (chrome hoops/visability pack etc as standard).

Has anyone got any experience of the diesel 206cc?
cheers

No personal experience but reports on the engine are very favourable.

When I was looking at the 307CC I was hoping they would bring that out in a diesel like Renault did with the Megane CC but it never happened.

Bit slow on the uptake here!

Yup I had a 206 HDi, 2.0l 90bhp diesel. The engine in the CC is the 1.6l 110bhp diesel with "overdrive" or something.

I loved my diesel, mainly because the majority of my driving was urban 50mph around Leeds, and the torque you get with a diesel is great for hanging round roundabouts and such.

I've taken a normal 206 GTi HDi which has the same engine as the CC and it's a great engine especially with the torque. Not sure what it'll be like in a CC as it's a heavier car but if I were looking to get a CC again I'd definitely give the diesel a decent test drive.

Plus of course diesels are wonderfully tunable - got my 90bhp up to around 110bhp with a 200 quid tuning box. I would be surprised if the 110bhp couldn't be pushed up to 130bhp easily enough!

I think that a diesel with lots of torque low down would be an ideal engine for a CC, which -- let's face it -- is a pretty heavy car. I'm a recent diesel convert (just got a 150 bhp BMW 320 Cd)

the hdi is much quieter than normal diesel engines though, particularly the newer hdis, and the 1.6 hdi bearly smokes at all - lovely engine

I am over the moon with my new 206cc HDi. I personally feel it is has more go in it than my 2 litre CC!!

I filled it up last Thursday when I collected it and drove 420 miles, with 100 miles still showing in the tank. The MPG showed 51.4 which has got to be better than the 29.7-31mpg I was experiencing with my petrol CC. Definately wont be changing back to petrol..... would certainly recommend it!!!
