Peugeot cc = girl cars

towel401

Has anyone here seen a Peugot cc car being driven by a man? Any cc car at all now like the 206cc,207cc, 307cc.

apparently only 12% of those who bought 206cc were guys. and of that 12% half of them were probably gay or metrosexual and the other 6% bought it for a chick. i think it's actually a nice car but i would never get one because of the whole 'girl car' image.

any other real girl cars to avoid like the plague? there should be some site that has statistics so clueless guys can avoid buying girl cars

why does it bother you?

I used to think a scoop was a girl car. Until I started seeing mostly middle aged men in them.

Buy a car you LIKE, not based on what other guys like

Yes...what do I win?

OP - grow up

"girl's car"

:rolleyes:

i believe its not good to be seen in a girl car when you're not a girl. its probably more of an old-world superstitious thing than anything.

My issue with these type of cars are that they pretend they have back seats. It's ridiculous, they should just put more effort in and make a nice 2 seater Mx5 rival.

OP, you seem very insecure.

It's called social homophobia.

'GIRL' cars this is interesting....

I dont think Id like a man picking me up in a mini cooper or a 206cc .....................unless of course it was a present for me, hehe :cool:

congo_90

most people i know would refer to the 206 *in general* as a "hairdresser car" or have said to me "oh yes my mam/sister <insert female owner> has one of those!"

the 206cc is very feminine. I don't think you'd ever spot me driving one unless for some hottie who for whatever reason was temporarily unable to drive and asked me to for some good lovin *sorry for drifting off*

What a lucky man that would be to pick up such a shallow, materialistic girl.

Its like today, my mate said type R tegs are girls cars because he saw about 3 girls driving them. Because of that he now wouldnt buy one. Weird chap.

Me and a collegue drove a 206cc from our office in the city centre to Drogheda, with the roof down all the way. It was a nice sunny day and the car had just been dropped back off lease - also, it's OK to smoke in a company car if it's convertible (I reckon - don't know if anyone has taken a test case on this yet ).

Found the cheesiest music we could on the radio and crept through city centre traffic for about half an hour. Felt like a right t1t, but it gave us both a laugh

Handling was absolutley pants with the roof down, but that's not really what the whole car is about.

Friend of mine drives one actually. He enjoys it.

Whilst I would not consider buying one, it would not bother me in the slightest to drive one with the top down.
And the reason I would not buy on is because I don't really like convertibles but if I were to get one I would get a proper one with a soft top!

My wife has a 206 h/b. Its a bland car but does exactly what she wants from it. I have no problem driving it around.

i don't think it's because of what youre not - more a case of what you are

What's with the hostility for believing some cars are 'girl's cars'? In many cases, 'girl's car' is exactly the image the manafacturers are aiming for.

Is it any different to describing certain Jag or Merc models as middle aged men's cars? Some cars are designed for and most frequently driven by certain demographics. Pretending otherwise is just some kind of PC nonsense.

That would be one months ban for you sir.

I cant see any problem with any guy driving a 206 cc. ive seen a few guys drive them myself. Ive also seen a lot of guys drive MINI's so I cant see what the problem is. The car can go from a to b.

As a rule of thumb any convertible (but mine) is a girl's car. But, tbh, if you have to ask what's a girl's car.....

Why do some people get so heated about this? its not being sexist its just catagorising. People just see cars and imagine the people driving them. If you dont want to be judged by the car you drive buy a toyota corolla.
7 series BMWs will always be driven by managing directors, E class mercs will always be driven by old men. Cabriolet cars will always be driven by hairdressers and Nissan Micras will always be driven by old ladies

I drive a 206 and I'm a girl, so there you have it. I bought it because I wanted a small car. Small cars seem to = girls cars. However, my boyfriend drives it too, thankfully he is not so hung up on what other motorists might think of him.

blastman

I do, on occasion, have cause to drive de mudder's pale yellow Micra. The only reason this bothers me is that it has a 900cc engine and therefore gets overtaken by continental drift. There's no denying this is a car aimed at women, though.

dont get it either

first impressions can and do happen folks


whether or not you care what those impressions are though are your own issues

superjosh9

wow you are all so pc it's disgusting - like I'm watching an American sitcom.

Anyway, to answer your question OP:

Opel Tigra
Audi A3
Mini - esp Convertible
Honda CRV
Volvo new C70

Now A3 and CRV are questionable - but - I only ever see girls driving them. Anything with 'CC' in the name.




Now, can you picture any other car with that logo on the back? 206 is the ultimate girl's car and surely there can be no argument to that!!?!

bigpinkelephant

Mondo from Fair City has a bright blue 206CC!

My 50 year old aunt has a silver one, she has reached that stage of her life

zookey

hi does anyone on here who drives a peugot 206cc have any problems with the car itself?... i have just text driven a second hand one and everything was lovely but i notice it was quiet "rattly" and an odd bang coming from underneath on using clutch, although it has just been passed NCT.. i'm just wondering is this just the feel of these type of cars as i have never driven one before.. would appreciate any info or advice from anyone who drives one or has experience in dealing with this type of car... ;-)

Girls car, clutch problems......must resist...
