Has anyone got one of these?
My wife wants this as her next car and while i like the looks i would like to know how it compares to her 206 hdi xsi which is cramped and just generally awful to drive IMO.
Any thoughts or comments will be very much appreciated.

I have the exact car, huge improvement to the 206, handling is alot better and the car is far more stable on the road. The new 1.6 hdi 110 is also a big improvement on the old 2.o hdi. I am probably slightly biased as i work for pug, where abouts are you based?

I've got the "sport" with the 110 engine and it's superb. 11k on the clock so far and zero problems other than the occasional airbag warning on startup. Happened three times but each time went off for next startup.

Highly recommended, great handling, genuine 120mph top speed (100 comes up ok, 110 quite a while after that, 120 eventually!) but super stable and quiet as the grave at all speeds. ~500 miles from a tank, high 40s average being driven hard everywhere.

I'm really pleased with the thing.

The 175bhp 207 GT (petrol) will do over 40mpg...might also be worth a looky. Have heard good things about it.
