Here is something Id like everyone to get there teeth into, the 207 gti.
Ive not seen many about but they seem hansome from some angles (not sure about the front end mind),
and they seem to have an air of Pug tradition inside the cab which is appealing.
Ive done the norm and read reviews which comes accross a mixed bunch of good and bad but I cant help
feeling everyone compares it to the 205 gti which I think most modern cars would find hard to live up to, you cant compete with the raw elememt of the older generation 205's with modern day more heavy safety/economy minded
built machines.
I guess the big question is would the 207 gti be a viable investment now that any decent Pug hot hatches are 100,000 mile + or has Mr floppy come to town once again for Pug ? ? ?

had a 206 180 and there is a lot of similarities between the 2 cars the main one being the interior and trim which ican confirm is shit, it literally fell to bits, stitching came undone and it rattled something all the time. mechanics wise it is fairly gutless and from a 2litre to the thp would be a big come down. you will probably ened up straining everthing as you try and drive it like the stronger 2 litre. i did look hard at these cars but changed my mind completely once i had driven the mini, better built by far

206 interior is nothing like 207 interior. I have had both cars and can safely say build quality and dash plastics are much better on the 207 FACT. Also the driving position in the 207 is miles better than a 206. All round a 207 is a far better car. Handling is great too.

Very rarely will you get a definitive group opinion on cars from forums, the two completely opposing interior opinions for example so your best bet is to drive one personally and make your own mind up unless you're being subtle and really mean; "will everybody slate me if I get this?" question

The thp 175 model would certainly not be a come down from a 180! 5bhp less and 400cc but produces a f*ck load more torque from low down and carries it all through the range.

Pug should have given the 207 gti the 200hp lump from day 1 and maybe peoples opinions would have been different, that said though it's a very tunable engine.

Keep a look out for the 208 gti next year 1.6 thp 200bhp!!! Looks angry like a gti should.

I think the big problem is I have such a soft spot for the GTI6, I had one when I was 22 (now 30) and it was by far the daddy on the road over all my mates cars Id spend more time in it than in my own house !
I would love to have another but it would have to be a minter with realy low low miles (dreamer) so failing that im always looking at other options ie 207 gti.
Anyone would think im trying to re live my early 20's and having some kind of early mid life crisis !
Is this what having kids does to you ? ? ?
