Hi guys,
So excited, today I went to look at a 1.4 206 Look. I'll be getting it on Monday.
I've had a 1.1 206 LX since October, but the power is going and I'm not enjoying driving as much as I used to.
I'm getting the 1.4 Look on Monday, and I'm super excited. Just wanted to let you guys know.
-Jord

You'll soon get to the stage where a 1.4 isn't enough

I find the TU3 nippy enough when driven correctly, it's only top end OR very steep hill's where the lack of overall power is sometimes noticeable.

There's no doubt it's a great engine, I have it myself. But for over taking numpties going slow you want it to be a bit safer.

Oh, I forgot to mention; my 1.1 can't get past 60 unless it's down a hill 
I'm hoping that the 1.4 can actually get to the speed limits this time

There is something wrong with it then, the TU1 206 isnt that slow normally.

There isn't a huge difference, the only real noticeable difference is the TU3 has more top end over a TU1 but both can do licence loosing speed easy enough.
Your TU1 206 had a problem, a 206 TU1 isn't normally as slow as you make out.

I know it's not normally as slow, there's something wrong with my one, hence the upgrade
