Utterly boring topic, but anyway..
I need a HDI which I will putting all the parts from my xsi onto.
It's a complete commuter so economy and cheap tax is a must.
I'm looking at the 2.0 and possibly the 1.4 but I'm thinking the 1.4 must be painfully slow? Although it does have a bit better economy.
Secondly I have seen owners saying they are £30 or £120 tax (maybe even more). So does anyone know what year I would have to get for it to be classed as £30 or where I can find out? Really don't understand this as they are the same engine but whatever...
Ta muchly

You could have a look at this to see all the HDi variables and find which ones have the lowest tax and then begin looking at buying that model

PEUGEOT 206 2.0 HDi (90 bhp), M5 £125
PEUGEOT 206 2.0 HDi (90 bhp) ECO, M5 £30
PEUGEOT 206 2.0 HDi Sport (90 bhp), M5 £140
PEUGEOT 206 1.4 HDi (70 bhp), M5 £30

1.4s ive managed about 70 to 80mpg on a run but they are painfully slow!
My fav is personally the Dv6 1.6

Cheers macca that's what I was looking for
According to parkers there are 4 types of HDI 2.0 - LX, GLX, eco, quicksilver, S, SE, XSI, D turbo and sport.
They are all £120 - £145 except the eco... how the hell am I suppose to find out which is which they are all the same to me. Unless there is a badge on it?
- Just seen the update you made thanks
How slow is slow Adam?  It's pretty much all motorway so trying to get into a gap and having no power would be frustrating. (Let's face it the 2.0 isn't quick, but at least no too bad)

Slow enough that 95 is a struggle. I cry every time I over take
But then the 90 I find aint that fast. Hence why I stand by the dv6

Get an Eco 2.0 HDi and map it.
Wouldn't bother with the DV6 if you are after a cheap hack.

Trying to stay away from the dv6 really - 1.4 and 2.0 appeal to me
95 isn't bad, as top speed is irrelevant I just want it to pull faster than a moped
It's a good plan, but it's still confusing to tell them apart.
Let's say I want this (I don't) www.gumtree.com/p/cars...1025621085
How can tell if it's an eco or not?
The 1.4s on the other hand are all £30 by the looks of it - so much more choice

Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but I belive the ECO HDi's have a green 'i' on the end of the HDi badge, on the back. The other models are pretty simple to distinguish, Quiksilver (obvious), and the rest are just specs (eg. style of seat etc..)

Get a 1.4 and map it or a 2.0 and map it ethier way it's a win. If you get te 1.4 you will get more mpg Spesh with a map. 2.0 is also good with a map after you have got over the difference it makes a lift your toe off.
I have a 2.0 Hdi run it on BP ultimate.
Went from Shrewsbury town center to pugfest did two runs up the hill and back again and I only used three eighths of a tank which I think is pretty good

Go with the 2.0 mate. Whilst it's not the fastest of cars, it does have a good pull and overtaking was never a problem for me with Poppy.

I'm happy with it not being quick - but when you have to sit in it 40 miles a day for the foreseeable future it would be nice if it wasn't painfully slow.
I've liked the 2.0l for a long time so it's what I'm aiming for.
Thanks for the advice, I shall now be searching for an EXY 2.0l HDI with a green I

well i beg to differ from the rest.
i have got a 1.4 hdi works van and yes 95/100 is flat out going down hill, but will sit at 70-85 with no problems it pulls ok, yes its never going to be a rocket ship but keeps up with traffic ok and its got enough pull for overtakeing and genral driveing i'v had it for the last 4 yrs and done 70k in it and only thing thats ever gone on it was the bottom pulley (rattleing) so changed for the newer type.
it's been thrashed from day one it never gets serviced last one was 40 odd k ago still get 60 mpg i raelly can't fault the thing.
