Greg, you knew this thread was coming  
What are peoples opinions on these?
hired one for a few days when i was in ibiza, LOL actually missing it now. For a 2.0 it wasnt that quick, although greg thought it was nippy, im probably just got used to my car though. Really like the styling and i think they look class in black with red/black leather interior. The mechanism for closing the roof was pucker, just hold a button down and the whole thing packs away, not getting out of the car and p1ssing around. Didnt want to push it too much in ibiza but the chassis was pretty well balanced and it cornered nicely.
Well tempted to get one.

you driven one? for standard it handled well, a little too much roll for my liking but it had lots of grip and was very fluid.

yes but every single convertible bar M3`s, sabbs etc get labelled as hairdressers cars these days. Most hairdressers i know earn a sh1t load of money so thats why they can probably afford them.

Ownership of 206cc's should be restricted to the female of the species

Have you driven one? I found the inital body roll was a little too much but after that it was very grippy and fluid and there are some well dodgy bends in ibiza

shame, maybe they have gone for the ride comfort thing, pug usually make brilliant chassis especially on sports models.

I like them but wouldn't own one, I would feel lke a girl and yes I agree nothing convertible bar a few is very manly, but it wouldn't bother me if it was quick it's just the 206cc is girly and not quick. s2k on the other hand
