#1: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: gloves93, Location: west midlandsPosted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 5:43 am ---- I was looking into selling my 1.1zest 206 and buying a 206 1.4 hdi van
I was wondering how reliable they are, how economical are they to run and would anyone recommend doing this.

Power isnt that great but what you expect? i havent drove a 1.1 so i couldnt give judgement lol hope it helps

gives around 50 mpg all the time and as said that is flat out full throtle all of the time.
ok its not the fastest of things normaly sits at 85-90 without to many problems keeps up on accelration with most things driven like it should be it will give 60 mpg.
really can not fault the thing.

#5: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: jk206, Location: GainsboroughPosted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 9:39 am ---- I've heard good things about the 1.4 hdi car and van, but why get a van as you could just fold/ take the seats out if you need to carry things and then put the seats back and you can have more passengers!
#6: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 10:21 am ---- I had a 1.4 HDi as a courtesy car years ago. Even round town it would average 60mpg.

Cheaper insurance. Boy racers don't drive vans.
#8: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: gloves93, Location: west midlandsPosted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:03 pm ---- I'd rather go for the van so people don't rely on me for lift don't need 5 seats
#9: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: bikesforme, Posted: Sun Feb 03, 2013 12:06 pm ---- My partner brought a 1.4 hdi 206 and i brought her 1.4 8v 206 from her. Wished i had saved for a hdi instead, the hdi is so much better on fuel and a lot cheaper to tax.
Its not that much slower then the petrol 1.4, but running costs is miles better.

#11: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: gloves93, Location: west midlandsPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 12:27 pm ---- so really i'd be better getting the hdi 1.4 car as tax is only 35 for the year and its good on fuel
#12: Re: opinions 206 van 1.4 hdi Author: sx206, Location: essexPosted: Fri Feb 22, 2013 1:03 pm ---- i think so gloves,plenty of decent 1.4 hdi cars about,versus not many decent vans.buy one off an old codger thats been looked after.
