I'll probably be eaten alive for this, but what is the difference with HDI models, and non-HDI models?

If you want a HDI powered 206 always go for the 2.0 version, there virtually bulletproof reliability.

The 1.4 is gutless & not that reliable, the 1.6 is much worse, its like having a hand grenade in your pocket with the pin removed Laughing

really? i thought since you only gain like 30 bhp from remapping the 2.0hdi youd get less from the 1.4
nope they remap up to 90bhp or slightly more quite nippy once theyve been mapped up. Mr Bsi why do you say the 1.4 hdi is unreliable ? .

Doing a comparison from Parkers ...

1.4 s 3d AC = 44mpg, VED F (£130 per year)

1.4hdi s 3d = 65mpg, VED C (£30 per year)

Hope that helps

That £30 per year road tax is an added benefit...

We did some calcs before getting the 1.4 HDi (coming from a 1.1) and we reckoned we'd get savings of about £800 Inc the tax. Plus it's a lot nippier.
