#1: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: Martin_Addlestone, Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:39 pm ---- Hi guys, hoping someone can answer this. I am currently looking at 2 206 1.6 Roland Garros' one on a V plate which I understand will have the 90hp engine and one is a 2002 that I am told is the 110hp engine.
Now, there is a massive price difference as I know the owner of the 90hp version, so I was wondering what actually is the difference, would a simple remap (for example) add that extra 20hp? Or is there something more complicated at work here?
Thanks
Martin

#4: Re: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: meas14, Location: United KingdomPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 2:54 pm ---- 110bhp is the 16valve engine and the 90bhp is 8valve

#7: Re: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: Martin_Addlestone, Posted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:25 pm ---- I kind off knew you guys where going to say that.
The 90hp is only £450 though, the other is £1200 as its an auto.
maybe I should just buy both!
Thanks for the prompt replies guys will keep you informed

#9: Re: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: LeeThr, Location: North West WalesPosted: Tue Feb 05, 2013 3:31 pm ---- If the 110 is an auto then in this case more power really isn't the way to go.

There isn't anything wrong with a well looked after 8 valve for driving in UK traffic
#11: Re: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: Martin_Addlestone, Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 3:00 am ---- Morning guys - thanks for all the prompt reply's last night, sorry I was a bit slower on the uptake, trying to forum on a smartphone is not great!
So - I get the impression that the auto box on the 206's is not great? is that just because it's an auto and therefore slower / not as fun, or is it genuinely a bad gearbox that I should avoid - reason I ask is that my wife only drives auto's and is quite taken with the little Roland Garros.
On another note I have just found a 2.0HDi that may make more sense for me but should I be worried about 167k with history?
Cheers

#13: Re: 1.6i 90hp vs 110hp Author: meady, Location: basingstokePosted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 4:11 pm ---- I'm not entirely sure what the auto boxes are like but I was warned to avoid them once when looking for an auto car for the missus. If I were you I would avoid a car with that many miles if you can.
