That car was mine I bought it in 2020 it was a barn find covered in mould and moss.I spent so much time and money restoring it full respray all suspension replaced all the brakes and loads of other bits. All tires changed and had the wheels powder coated. (They where gray before the wheels must have been changed) I sold it in 2022 to some guy in Sheffield. I regret selling it. It’s heat-breaking to see it hasn’t been looked after and looks like it’s just been ragged. Please look after it I loved that car
Finally someone's doing a Peugeot review. They get too much hate
yep, brits are obsessed with hyper-powered German tatt
Peugeot are hot hatch kings. The 205 was the ultimate but this is good value 👍
The French certainly know what they’re doing😎
'successor' to the 205👍
Proud owner of a gti 140 and 180, brilliant cars on the road and on track
Loved my 206, it was only the 1.1 but it was a fun car to drive
Just got the 1.1 as my first car 😭
Best car you’ll ever own
@@georgeter8198 what is mileage of this car
Really like the way you review cars , keep up the great videos
Not the best example of a 00"s hot hatch but not a bad one all the same, these have a lot of potential for the making of a decent little back road blaster or track car, yeah sure when they came out there was some negative press but any and all of it came from the fact they just didnt live up up to the 205 gti's pedigree, which lets face it is a lot to live up too, cars like the 106 gti and 306 gti-6 came closer, nevertheless there is still some of that pug pedigree there it just needs squeezing out, peugeot knew this hence the improved gti 180 a couple years later, this is some really well thought out and put together motor journalism it's nice to see the younger gen taking an interest in these older appreciating classics
Thank you very much! I think it’s an unsung hero of the early 2000’s. It is eclipsed by the other cars you mentioned but it’s definitely impressive, especially for how cheaply you can pick them up these days.
my grandad gave me his 2L diesel HDi, pretty fun as a first car and it can move if your a good driver
I bought a 2005 1.4 16v Sport for my lad to learn to drive in 9 years ago for £995. It still sits on the drive, only 90hp but that's all it needs. I put a new axle on it (£178 exchange) last year, easy job - I made new brake lines for it (Kunifer) and did the discs and pads at the same time. Nothing wrong with these, I bet with double the bhp it's a scream. His daily is a 2002 E39 4.4 v8 - but he keeps the Pug for economical fun.
Put the RC intake manifold and 70mm throttlebody on a gti140 and put a proper tune on it and itll run 160/165ish HP.
I have the 206CC 2.0l and did exactly that but added catcams and 4-1 supersprint exhaust and its making 180HP now, just need bigger injectors and itll run 200HP. These engines are just phenomenal
I had a 106 quicksilver and that thing handled like a beast. After the 6's I feel they lost their shine a little
I would love to see you try the ford puma 1.7l from 2000
@@sudoDie I’d love to try one!
Factual pug 206 review
Miss my old 206 GTI.... now I want a Yaris GR
I had a gti HDI 206 and was fun
Owned two 206 GTI's loved both of them and in the market currently for another one. Prices are high compared to what I paid for them years ago. Both cost me less than £500 each all with 12m Mot.
very underrated channel
This was competing with the Clio 172 at the time. Felt like Peugeot we’re trying to target a different type of market for these
im 15 and ive loved these for years really hoping they stay at a low price till i can afford the insurance when im older 😂
What the French don’t make up for in their cheap interiors they certainly make up for in driving experience
They are really good cars i have Peugeot 206 Quicksilver with 1.6 16v 109hp (80kw) and you can keep up with škoda fabia 1 vrs
You should review the 180 model or rc
It's not the engine you wanna worry about with a 206, it's literally everything else 😭 ive had 3 they're cheap and cheerful even the 1.1 and 1.4
My love is 206 𝑅𝐶
Iv got a 206 gti hdi 1.6..on the drive..still on stands..project car..loads you can do them for cheap money..front calipers off a 307..=302mm discs..im hoping to get near 180bhp out of my diesel..got coilovers for it..iv recovered the headliner myself bitch of a job..covered clock binacol in leather like the gti 180..u can get a Ltd slip diff for about £500.. hopefully be a future classic 😂..cracking cheap little hatch..👌💪
2 months ago i sold my 206 1.4i 75hp and I'm aiming for a gti, sad for me in Portugal it costs like 3500€
❤❤❤❤
Where are these roads??? Especially the gravel ones 🙏🙏
no it's when french hatches started to go wrong you need to go back 10 years to mid 90''s for peak
Hi could you tell me what bonnet vents they are as don't look std
Surely this is not the best example of a 2000s hot hatch
Absolutely. Also this is a poor JayEmm on cars impression but even less entertaining so at least it achieved a tiny something.
@@samuelgarrod8327Cheers Sam, son’s crying.
Chill out guys, give the lad a break!
1st off, no-one said it was the best example, just one of the best value hot hatches.
Secondly, it sounds like another car reviewer cos it's a car review. You could argue that our lord JC (the farmy one, not the goddy one) sounds a bit like jayemm, too!
This review is urging you to reconsider a car that has not been looked at kindly over the years, so the content perhaps overlaps a little.
@svengrube1 I liked it, it's not as easy as people think to put yourself in front of a camera, drive a car spirited, and speak cohesively, nevermind answering the one question everyone asks: how fast does it go in reverse? 😂
I drove the 180 and it was crap lol
bro must have bought the temu version, 206 on top!!💪
What didn’t you like? This 140 was brilliant fun.
Weapon? 😂 piece of crap more like
And what do you have that’s so fantastic
