    '91 Peugeot 405 1.7 TD - brilliant car, very comfortable
    '99 Peugeot 206 GTi - bought new, loved it
    '01 Peugeot 206 CC 2.0 - traded GTi for this, loved it even more. Personalised plate 66 - made to look like CC, cheesey I know. Cops hated it
    '02 Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI SE - fabulous car, very comfortable, every extra you can think of, very underrated. For sale now, cos it's time to move on!

    I've had Peugeot's for 13 years now, so I think it's time to change.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    From my imperfect memory, for I'm a man of contrast -

    Citroën C35 (LHD, all following are LHD until the Hyundai): bigger than a Transit, no power steer, Pug 504 innards. I still have nightmares about it.

    Citroën BX 1.9 D: needed a tank for formative years. So I bought one :D

    Citroën AX 1.4 TZS: the best secret/wolf-in-sheep-clothing pocket rocket ever: 90 bhp for 750 kilos. Even 205 1.6 GTIs did struggle a bit to follow.

    Citroën BX 1.9 TD (TZS version).

    Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI ltd 'Griffe' ed.

    Citroën CX 25 GTi Turbo: the thirstiest ever (20 liters+ per 100 kms :rolleyes:)... but 240 kph in Pullman comfort

    Lancia Delta Integrale HF (Evo I): madder than a bagful of horny toads! Nearly killed me, but then I emigrated and grew up... for a bit anyway :D... therefore -

    Hyundai S-Coupe SEi (first RHD ever, all following are RHD) : factory-lowered, handled like a kart, on a par with the MX5 on the dry for twisty turnies... but oh-so-underpowered, even with a Turbo. Thank Mr Lotus for the chassis.

    Fiat Brava 1.6 SX: the only 'big' mistake in an otherwise faultless track record ;) Nice enough to drive, but riddled with issues, from finishing through to electrics and onboard computing woes. Never bought ex-fleet since, and never again will.

    Mazda MX-5 1.8is ltd 'Berkeley' ed. (current) - nothing comes close. And I've tried a few since.

    Subaru 2.0 Sport (the wife's, though she'd beg to differ of course :D )

    oh... and the daily runaround/commuter: EVT EV4000 electric scooter.

    Shortly planned next: Piaggio X9, Yamaha Majesty 250 or Suzuki Burgman 250.

    Viewed a 206 gti yesterday with a '99 c 206' plate, wasn't yours by any chance?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭stevejazzx


    In the space of a year

    (1995)Micra 'march' import missed that air conditioning when I ewent to the toyota

    toyta corrolla(2001) 1.4, the most reliable thing in the world, I drove the lenght and breath of the country, incredibly boring though

    audi a4(1999) 1.8, just pure luxery for me
    all soft leather interior, air con, all electric, very smooth if a little heavy to drive

    No, my 206 GTi rge was 99 XX 2333 if I remember, silver. Mint condition at the time of selling which was 5 years ago at this stage. So it could be wrecked by now.
