I had my eye on this car for a while but was a bit iffy about it cause it's only the XS and not the GTI which I wanted but hell, MUCH MUCH better then my old Corsa and I LOVE IT!!! images/smilies/biggrin.gifimages/smilies/biggrin.gif

Leave it alone, your car is arguably THE best-looking hatchback of all time, and it's designed to actually look good with small rims unlike say, some Japanese cars. images/smilies/wink.gif I'm actually amazed how those still manage to look so pretty, even though you see them around every corner.

Congrats images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Nice, I'm not sure how much more reliable it will be than the Corsa, but it's a fine looking and driving motor. I wouldn't have bothered with getting a GTi, the 206 GTi was weak compared to the 205 version. It doesn't have much over the XS. Still, a fine little motor. Don't put big wheels on it, they don't look good.

Noice! I've always had a soft spot for Pugs and the 206 is a fine looking little thing. Chicks dig 'em - Cute with angggry eyes!images/smilies/biggrin.gif

A friend of mine owns a 205 GTI and it's shown me that there really is a knack to owning a French car. They can be a bit fragile and they can break easily and leak various precious fluids but they have real soul and character. You have to roll with the punches and really feel the highs and lows. It's not like owning a Vauxhall...

First off thanks for all the congrats images/smilies/smile.gif I always had a soft spot for the 206 and now that I own one I'm really excited so therefore the shouting and excitement.

Well I agree with you it's one of the best looking hatchs but I've seen more then enough to know the alloys really do add, and going 16" is only going to the GTi's size, not anything so big that it looks ridiculous...

I had a 205 as well, it was a 1.4 and it was my first car so naturally I love it, still miss it etc etc. And since the 206 was out there I wanted one but never had the chance...3 years in the army and then another 2 abroad gave me no chance, then I come home and my dad gives me a Corsa for fuck's sake... Now it's all better though.

I wasn't even sure and when I took a look at it I saw something quite cool on Imageshack, it actually says which camera took the pictures and it's right.... It was a Canon S3 and if you look at the bottum left of the page the pic is on it tells you that. Original is like 2200x1600 or something though, I shrinked it too 800x600 for imageshack.
