Intrested in buying a 206cc, just wonder which engine is the best to get for 206cc?
I am currently driving a 2000 1.6 8v and feel like changing it cause being hit by some driver when park on the roadside ( A bit screech from rear panel to the front door and a broken font wing mirror. Just don't feel like driving it anymore after that.

2 litre cars come with a higher spec. Come with the 16" wheels which aren't normally on 1.6 models.

plus 2.0 got better gearbox etc...
with the extra weight on cc i would have though it will be very slow with the 1.6 engine.

Thank for the recommendations, i might go for 2.0 version.
Diesel not going to be my choice since i am only doing short trip around london. Won't have the chance to clear out the filter.
Any idea what i need to watch out for 206cc when buying it?

I agree with you mr Bsi. Diesel will be my choice if i do some motorway driving once a while.
They are more economy on fuel cost and insurance. Too bad living in london won't be ideal for it cause involve lot of short trip driving.

omg...
you want a diesel convertible?
plus if you worry about mpg i can tell you that 206cc always give you worse mpg than hatch back 206 (same engine).
