have thought about that actually. maybe a bit old now though. Would rather a 206GTi, found a place doing them for 11.5k brand new. Already have a 206 aswell, so know what they're like.

if you r willing to go up to group 16 then, for 11,000 you can get a Seat Leon 1.8 20v or a Golf Mk4 20v Turbo for about 9 grand!! but will be older than 6 months!!!

I would do but I don't want to pay silly money for insurance. for some reason there seems a huge hike after grp 14!

i can appreciate the handling is better, but the performance of the two is not far off (106 a little quicker) and 206 has the leather alacantra etc, plus I think i prefer the look. would get the 206 with the factory sp kit, the mesh grille and leave it at that.

i love the look of both, but i think its just because the 106 has been around a while. thats what gives the 206 a looks advantage.
