Right well I think its time to switch over to a more fuel economy car!! Seeing as I do about 3200 miles a month!! My 1.4 does about 400 miles to a tank. I need something more economical to save the pennies in my back pocket!! Would like to know peoples views on the various HDi pugs!!

Mine only gets about 35mpg around town, or 54mpg on the motorway. Gotta say I was hoping for better than that when I got it after seeing figures. Bit of a tractor too

Mine's the 2.0. And never ending problems with exhaust(3 backboxes in 2 years)/suspension/steering/rust that I hadn't noticed under the in-tact underseal, but that could happen to any 206 I suppose!
Insurance isn't that bad I don't think, I'm paying £1000 now compared to £750 on my 1.0 Micra, and the tax is low.

the road tax for the 1.4hdi is £30 a year.
however, the 2.0hdi has a nicer gearbox to drive with.

my 2.0HDI 2002 is the same as my old 1.4 8v 2003 on fuel.... if i drive nice and slow then it lasts ages... as soon as my foot goes down it drinks... doing about 115mph you can actually see the fuel gauge go down! lol
