The 206CCs main selling point is that it is both a hard-topped coupe, and a topless convertable, and without the annoyance of having a removable, ugly-looking roof. The secret is simple, the roof automatically folds itself up and is stored in the boot. Magic! The procedure takes around 30 seconds, and requires you to simply undo some fasteners and hit a button.
The second beatuiful thing about this car is the price. The only rival for this car in terms of the roof is the Mercedes SLK, which while a little more luxurious, it retails for around £35,000, while the Peugeot starts at under £16,000, and the 2.0 version is only a grand more. There is no wonder there is a 6 month waiting list for this car.
The 206CC comes in all the usual Peugeot colours, but in my opinion, it looks best in silver or electric blue. There are a number of interior colours and schemes to come from, including full leathers, part leather, and all clothe. I personally think that bright blue or red leather looks a little bit too much, but each to their own.
The inside of the car is pretty much the same at the GTI. Its got a lot of plastic, but a few nice chrome effects such as the pedals and gear stick, which just add a little something to it. I would definately recommend any buyers of this car to get as many of the internal extras as possible, to really make this car feel like a sports car. One aspect that makes it feel like a sports car anyway is the back seat area, if you can call it that. There is, in theory, a back seat for 2 extra passengers, but it is really little more than an extra bit of luggage space. Passengers would find t
he experience most uncomfortable for journeys longer than a few minutes. However, the SLK is only a two seater car itself. Another space issue is found in the boot. A number of reviews of this car have critisized the amount of boot space when the roof is folded into the boot. However, given the fact that you can use the back seats for luggage, and the fact that the boot is actually extremely spacious when the roof is up, I dont think this is a problem at all.
With the 2 litre engine, the 206CC is clearly a drivers car, not just a pretty toy. It is capable of 0-60 in around 9 seconds I believe, which is more than fast enough for most, and the acceleration is excellent in all gears.
All convertibles suffer from problems due to the requirements of a convertible, not least the lack of a permanent roof. The main concern is usually the amount of noise and vibrations. The sound level is pretty good, but the car is not great at all in terms of vibrations. When Channel 4s Driven reviewed this car, it scored one of the lowest marks I have ever seen for drive quality due to the vibrations.
Overall, I like this car. It has been available for a fair few months, and is still massively in demand. It is pretty much impossible to pick one up second hand yet, and any that are available are pretty much at new car prices anyway. I guess a good indication of how good a total package the car is will come in the next few months, when we see if owners of the car are giving them up within the first year or two of ownership, or whether they are holding onto them for dear life.
Despite the negative reviews of some aspects of this car, it still looks great, it has the ingenius roof, and comes at an amazing price. I think Peugeut are going to find demand stays high for this car for a very long time.
