#2: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:49 pm ---- Quite a hard question really. One is naturally aspirated and the THP is turbo charged...
#3: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Uz, Location: No Man's LandPosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:52 pm ---- 175THP if I had the choice tbh. I want one but insurance is the only factor on my part

#8: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 3:57 pm ---- deffinatly GTi 180 the shape of the 206 is much nicer
#9: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Resolutionary, Location: South West LondonPosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 4:02 pm ---- I love 180's, and 206es in general or I probably wouldnt be here. However as far as progression goes..newer cars are tending to have smaller engines and turbos as standard. Disregarding the power output (which is marginal in difference) I like the idea of a turbo because it opens up a world of opportunity in terms of tuning. And theyre not bad looking cars either - seen a few at shows that have really made the 207 grow on me. A difficult choice but the 207 for me is a step above the 180.

#11: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Dillon, Location: KentPosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 4:05 pm ---- Hmm now which would I choose..
Insurance is cheaper on the THP group 15 vs 17 for the 180
power is at 175 out of the box vs varying amounts on the 180 but rarely anything over 175
torque at 200lbs on over boost vs about 150/160 on the 180
Tax £180 this year vs £210(?)
Mpg currently running at 40.3 taking it easy vs not sure but won't be as good from what I read
But... its heavy and I mean uber heavy
Understeer is a b***h and no lift off oversteer... tbh not much in it wait for the new 208gti would be my suggestion
#12: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 4:05 pm ---- I think the 207's would need a little bit more oomph to cope with the extra weight as power outputs are fairly similar. It's a bigger car too, i could only imagine it feeling a little tamer than the slightly older 206. You'd have to chat to someone who has driven both i suppose?!

#15: Re: 206 180 or 207 gti THP...? Author: Brian, Location: VVT Land, FifePosted: Sun Aug 22, 2010 4:08 pm ---- I must say i do like the 207's as well now But i just think the 206 would feel a little more on the edge and they make you want to rev them to get them going. The insurance drop for the 207 will be 1.6 vs 2.0, but you'd think the turbo addition would even things out?
