207CC

Post by jackieboi206 »

Hello
I've had my 206cc for about 5 months now, I love the car to pieces. However little things like the windows not lining up properly (took her to Peugeot and they said "this cant be fixed its just how the windows are on the cc") and the age of the car are starting to annoy me a little bit now....

So i've decided that a 207cc may be in order..... Has anyone driven/bought a 207cc? Do you think the window problem will be the same on a 207 as the 206, because looking at pictures the 207 seems to have the same roof/window operation as the 206....

Finally anyone wanna buy my 206?

Cheers,
Jack

Hi
Got a test drive on weekend.....
That is whats worrying me, I have the 2.0l engine and they dont sell a 2.0l version of the 207cc, however i've got a £700 service bill coming from the garage at the end of the month plus my 206 has gotta be taxed....

Thar a 207 is still part of the family! lol. :thumbs:

Apparently the 207cc has the same engine as the 206 cc so will be more sluggish as there is more kit on board.

I don't think it is the same engine. Surely the 207cc has the new 1.6 engine co-developed by Peugeot and BMW that also goes into the Mini. It won the International Engine of the Year award in 2010.

I'd have no qualms about going for a 207cc. I wouldn't regard it as being disloyal either.

I test drove it. Didn't like it, it just feels a lot slower than mine.
Also had the 206 serviced... In total it came to £580.... Which wasn't bad seeing as it had a major service, pads and discs al round, new ball joints and arms on the fron of the car, and the timing belt was replaced.
It now drives like a new car! So guna keep it through the summer and maybe get a 308cc when i have a few more pennies....

What about the turbo version? Surely that has a bit of grunt

Yup Thar..... guna be here a while yet!

52nd.... the salesman told me I was driving the uprated 1.6 version that they make. It had nothing on my 2.0l, she may be nine years old but she has plenty of grunt in her! lol.
