Hello preey,

Welcome to the forum.

There was no 306 diesel cabriolet marketed in the UK as far as I know.

There is a diesel 307cc, see

www.peugeot.co.uk

for details of all Peugeot models.

Try

http://www.broadspeed.com/cgi-bin/bsc/c ... del=307+CC

to save yourself a couple of grand on brand new UK supplied cars. Broadspeed are brokers who provide an excellent service and, if you are speccing up your car with extras, order them at the same time and you'll get a good discount on the accessories too.

I don't work for them, nor do I get commission, I have just received good service from them myself and Honest John rates them highly too.

Good luck with your search.

Regards,

Ron

the rear seats are just about ok for small children as there isn't much legroom nor headroom with the roof up

with my seat set for my driving position there was about 3" between the back of the seat and the edge of the rear bench (if that makes sense) not trying to put you off though

petrol or diesel - depends if u want to pose with the sound of the clattery diesel (not as bad as they used to but still noisey) or the petrol,if petrol go for the 2.0 or 2.0 180bhp as the 1.6 is under powered for such a big car.

which ever car you go for i'm sure it'll be great, roll on the summer

Hello again,

We waited until all the kids were grown up and got their own cars before buying a 206cc. I regard the rear "seats" as being for emergency use only. When you're travelling open-top with the wind deflector in place no-one can sit in the back anyway.

No way is the car any more than a 2 seater for all practical purposes, barring emergencies.

Good luck with your search.

Like your pictures of your Dodge Ram 3500 by the way. One of our rellies in Louisiana has one rather like it with an 8 litre diesel under the bonnet.

Ron

only one lad at home now heâ€™s 14 so he donâ€™t wont to go out with his mum and dad unless he has to

like you say a 206 back seats are only good in a emergency ( that will be every Thursday & Friday when he needs to go training

(dad can i have a lift ) if i like the 307cc when i get to look at it in the morning think i might go for it but i got to say i think the 206 looks better

yer the dodge was a beast but i never used it

it was just to wide for the roads 8ft wide with twin wheels i had to stick to the main roads the novelty soon wore of boys toys hey """"

i will let you no what i end up with

Just a thought - we very nearly went for a Renault Megane CC. It is quite roomy with proper rear seats. Again, Broadspeed were offering some brilliant deals on price. Only reason we didn't was because my wife felt more confident driving the smaller 206. The Megane comes with 1.6 and 2.0 petrol engines, and a fine 1.9 turbo-diesel if you prefer an oil-burner.

I personally prefer the looks of the Megane to either the 206cc or the 307cc but they are all attractive cars.

My other half was a 5 footer and had no trouble getting in our 206cc when my seat was pushed forward a bit.

4 seater cabriolets dont work end of story. They dont look right, it makes the roof look out of shape, and the people who are brave enough to even sit in the back get shredded by the wind.

The only people who look good in the back of a 4 seater drop top are fascist dictators.

a while ago i had a golf cabriolet and was pretty comfy in the back, but it was just a crap car unfortunately, would never have another one, but my daughter is nearly 16 and there is usually only me and her in there anyway, but i will use the rear seats for emergency too
