PEUGEOT 206 2.0 GTi 180 3dr [DAC+CC] (2003)

Peugeot 206 GTi Review - Fantastically Schizophrenic

I have owned a 206 GTI 180 for the last 3 years and I can honestly say I absolutely love it. Unlike other hot hatches in this category, the styling is subtle, the interior is very comfortable with racing bucket seats, the build quality is superb and the car in well equipped as standard. But the best feature of this car is the engine. Adding VVT to this engine has made it fantastically schizophrenic. Below 4000rpm and the car is tame, but with plenty of low down torque to make driving very easy and economical. Above 4000rpm and the engine transforms from an easy going cruiser, to a street racer that loves to rev. No matter what age you are, this car will put a smile on your face, and for me, that is what I look for in a car.
