#2: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:28 pm ---- I'd go for an a3 mate, nearly bought one instead of the 180, wish I had now
#3: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:32 pm ---- In all fairness you've got a 1.4 8v how much fun were you hoping for?

a 1.4 206 is faster than a 1.2 Punto LOL, it looks poor because yours is a 5 door standard 206 with lexus lights which is all your own doing bud
Dont get me wrong 206's are far from the greatest cars in the world, infact i dont really like mine that much but it is far better than a Punto! A car is as much fun as you make it...
#14: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 1:51 pm ---- if its not exciting enough, then take the doors off and dont wear a seat belt. that should liven things up for you.
but as jordan said yours is a 1.4 granny motor thats been to halfords. there's a limit to what it can acheive

#17: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: broadblaster, Location: south coastPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:00 pm ---- well haveing just come from a vag car into the 180 all i can say is the 180 is ALOT more fun to drive than the vag ok yes the vag is/was better built but dam boreing to drive.
the vag was good don't get me wrong but just sooooooo dam boreing and bland just no fun
#18: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:04 pm ---- I dissagree, just because something is different doesnt make it better. It seems alot of people think oem parts arnt as good as aftermarket parts but its clear to see your £8 bargain lights are poor quality and id choose standard ones any day, they dont even look nice! Dont mean to have a go but you cant say your bored of a car after a month, you cant possibly know how to gain the most from your car in that space of time.
#19: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:06 pm ---- lexus lights look like a**e, and they wer £8 for a reason.

oh no question about it, and a 180 leaves them both for dead, but out of the ones hes thinking of then i no which one i wouldn't be getting

serves him right for buying a 'boring' 206 tho eh?
#24: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 2:43 pm ---- Lol. If you got the 206 because it was cheap and you spend as little money as you can on car parts *£8 lights* then.....
1. I don't expect this to go ahead
2. If it does I doubt it'll be any of the above mentioned other than the zr due to price/your choice in cars
3. It'll only end up being as boring and run down as the car you own now
Why don't you swap it in for a newer shape punto.....

#28: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Jordan_xsi, Location: IpswichPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 3:13 pm ---- Depends on the individual cars, look at the contrast in RR figures for stock 180's some come around 160 and others are actually around 180 which is clearly a big difference.

i was in the back of the 180 at the time and he was changing at right time etc but the st kept up tbh, only saying what i saw.

#34: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:41 pm ---- I had 2 st's. First one was back at ford after 3 months motoring from new when the lowwer engine mount failed and my engine squashed both drive shafts, drove around in a bloddy ka for 3 months whilst the messed me about sorting it. 2nd one i spent quite alot on it having cams and head work, got it running 177 bhp and unless it was wet it was great......until the cam tensioner jammed on the motorway and my engine spat all its inlets out! Nice cars to drive but i wouldnt have another one or reccomend them!
#35: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: BigGreenDave, Location: The RiftPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 5:55 pm ---- i like my 206 its not bad ZR? you shall be known as a rover wna b MG is simply put crap.
Audi A3 hell to the yes
Ford not a fan
if you want more fun out of your 206 drive it down a gravel hill with handbreak on WITHOUT DOORS or a seatbelt as previously stated that or slam a V6 in it and take off the lexus lights haha
#36: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: lee206xsi, Location: CheltenhamPosted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 6:02 pm ---- fiesta st...nice car but 150bhp from a 2ltr is quite s**t especially for a car of its weight. ive had plays with them and they cant keep the pace

seldom see a 1.4 16v 206 rally car though
although i have seen quite a few rally 106 1.4 Xsi; pretty fast, surely a lot fast than stock 206gti and probably comparable to stock 180.

Try comparing to a proper hot hatch, not a 206
Renault Clio 182 1998cc 3dr Weight 1070kg
mpg
34.9mpg
Insurance group
16D
0-60
6.7 s
67kgs lighter than the ST, not quit as good mpg wise (although I don't believe for 1min the the ST can achieve 38mpg except at 56mph on a motorway) and over a second quicker to 60!
Oh and btw I'm a huge Fiesta fan and have owned them on and off for 18 years now! The ST was just a bad design, which is a shame really as Ford could have made it so much better!
People keep quoting all these figures and most of them are bulls**t anyway.
The clio 182 does not weigh 1070Kg thats the 172 cup.
The actuall differneces in 0-60 times between a clio 172, 182 + cups are in reality basicly the same as a 180.
So all figures are b******s.
Thats my view, if the OP doesnt like his car drop an anvil on it, it looks s**t anyway, go out and test drive some other cars and find one you like.

#68: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: Coolspot, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 7:13 am ---- Did we ever get to how much the budget was for the owner of a mid range 206 that doesn't like it after doing nothing to it?
As said earlier pretty much any car can be fun. I love my 1.4 Glx may not be fast but for what it is its fun enough till i win the lottery then i will upgrade it and get a super car.
If you don't like your job you change it, if you don't like your car do the same. Anyway please stop whining end of the day your the driver and if you can't make it fun then your driving must be poor.
5 pages and i don't think we got anywhere really uther than comparing 2 cars one was 3 up the other unknown. Get the Audi better traction and turbo just when they go wrong like big they go wrong big end of my personal rant

Fact is the Fiesta ST is virtually identical in performance to the 206 GTi. It was a very good little car, could have done with a bit more power simply because the chassis was more than capable of handling it. There is certainly lots of potential with the engines.

Am repping the ST corner!
Peugeot 206 GTi (99-06) 2.0 (180bhp) 3d Weight 1125 kg
MPG
32
Insurance Group
28
0-60 mph
7.5 s
Ford Fiesta ST (05-08) 2.0 ST 3d Weight 1137 kg
MPG
38
Insurance Group
26
0-60 mph
7.9 s
Also has cheaper road tax miles cheaper insurance (I found)and very easy to modify (change the flexi for a miltek and a k&n filter and you looking at 165 bhp roundabouts) and muchos better the drive than the 180 imo
EDIT. nearly forgot timing chain over belt anyday
Try comparing to a proper hot hatch, not a 206
Renault Clio 182 1998cc 3dr Weight 1070kg
mpg
34.9mpg
Insurance group
16D
0-60
6.7 s
67kgs lighter than the ST, not quit as good mpg wise (although I don't believe for 1min the the ST can achieve 38mpg except at 56mph on a motorway) and over a second quicker to 60!
Oh and btw I'm a huge Fiesta fan and have owned them on and off for 18 years now! The ST was just a bad design, which is a shame really as Ford could have made it so much better!
People keep quoting all these figures and most of them are bulls**t anyway.
The clio 182 does not weigh 1070Kg thats the 172 cup.
The actuall differneces in 0-60 times between a clio 172, 182 + cups are in reality basicly the same as a 180.
So all figures are b******s.
Thats my view, if the OP doesnt like his car drop an anvil on it, it looks s**t anyway, go out and test drive some other cars and find one you like.
197 is better than all mentioned above

#79: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: macj, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 5:21 am ---- just in case you think we dont think of you
#80: Re: Bored after a month, the pug is going Author: kakaruto, Location: Mansfield NottinghamPosted: Sun Oct 02, 2011 7:21 am ---- Lol mg zr, I used to be a rover fan as back then I was pretty much loaded so fixing the faults and parts wasn't an issue. Now I am slightly skint I gone awa from them.
Why are rovers so bad? They rot to hell, parts are really hard to get hold of, they are unreliable, headgaskets are made from toilet rolls. I usedd to be a car valeter for a garage and every mg zr we seem to shift seems to keep on comming back with problems.
Hope u are good with spanners and sockets because if headgasket goes it will be a 400 repair bill.
