Like adding induction and a remap, a lot less costlier than a whole new car, but will add that bit more 'nippiness' that you are looking for....
Whether or not the cost of this, for the gains you'll get is justified will be purely your own decision though....

Why would anyone buy another 206 after already owning one
As for the 1.4 petrol 16 valve lump, best avoided
8 extra valves, a 2nd camshaft & VVT = a whole whopping 15 extra bhp then the old stone age TU3 lump, PSA Peugeot / Citroen really worked hard on that one |
i think i answered that 1 in the post above yours

imho and induction kit and a remap are a complete waste of money!
most you will see from that is about 7hp if your very lucky!
the 2001 206 is starting to rust, fall apart and feel slow, it also is basic with the toys!
a 2005/2006 car is newer, has abs, trip computer, electric mirrors, rear discs and colour coded rubstrips, oh and no rust. 15hp more in a little car is like 30bhp in mine, so that should answer the question of why buy another 206.

i have the 1.4 ET3 lump with VVT is a fairly quick car tbh but yes i do wish id stayed clear just because my tuning is very limited with this engine
if your keeping it stock then its the perfect choice better mpg the a 8v anyway!
as for the difference between the sport and sport 3. there is none. the0-60 times on parkers are completely accurate anyway. there could be so many factors outside fo the car hat caused the sport3 to be 0.7 slower then the sport. its just not worth worrying about.
you wont notice the 0.7 in real world anyway.

now thats the first educational post for my question, yes it will stay standard!, and yes i noticed the mpg aswell which i forgot to add in my pro's comments. the quicker bit is a plus as i hate the lackless 8v she has at the mo when trying to overtake. esp when a little weight is in the car!
just 1 question though, how do you know the parkers quotes are correct?
the cars are identical in weight, power, dimensions, top speed ect.
and isn't the gap 1.5 secs?
