Summary
What does this car say about you?
Who cares! It says likes performance, quite stylish but not over the top and chavvy like some cars!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Friends like it, and shocked at how cheap I got it for!
Would you buy this car again and why?
I have really.. I had the lesser 206 Grand Tourisme from 1 year old so new exactly what the 206 Gti 180 was going to be like, exceeded my expectations though as engine better than I thought and seats nice and huggy even if there is virtually no space between side of seat base and door (1cm!)!
What are you likely to buy next?
No plans to sell this one, would keep it as a fun day-to-day car even if I won the lottery, yes really!!!!

Driving it

Fun, needs revs for a clean pull-away as not really designed to be slow, add a Scorpion exhaust and it brings a grin to your face!

Very very Easy!

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
No, and don't expect anything to, I have had many Pugs before, 206 Grand Tourisme, 306 GTI-6, 309GRD, 306 Turbo Diesel and all have proved reliable!
What's most practical about your car?
Practical, hahahaha! It's a 2 seater Sports car really, with rear seats for people with VERY skinny legs when front has people in! Realistically it's an excellent, FAST and FUN car for the young and young at heart!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
6 Airbags and ESP / Traction control and of course the VVT engine which is very similar in acceleration top end to the Celica 190 VVT I owned, great engine on both!
