Peugeot 206 GTi (99-06) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1999 In the good old days, the Pug 205 GTi was the daddy of the hot-hatches and expectations have been high for its successor, the sharply-styled 206. It has yet to live up to the 205’s reputation. The standard GTi doesn’t have the performance to shine and while the GTi 180 partly addresses that criticism it's still out-gunned by many rivals. Top dog it may not be, but it still offers plenty of performance for the price. 3.5 out of 5 Other Peugeot reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 3 out of 5 Performance The 2.0 litre lump offers either 137 or 180bhp, so the performance choice is obvious. The 137 bhp version feels warm, rather than hot: it gets to 60mph in 8.4 seconds and onto a top speed of 130 mph. The 180 bhp version knocks a second off the 0-60 time and has a top speed of 137 mph. In addition the 180 benefits from a six-speed gearbox.

However it has been set up to be safer than the old 205 GTi and has lost some of that car's fun too. View full gallery Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
