Citroen c2

[McGee]

Right,

Are these cars any good in the vtr/vts trim ? Or would I be better of just buying the saxo vtr/vts ?


Or even a 206 of some kind ?

Neither, i was gonna get an audi a3 or bmw 316 but i couldn't blag the insurance.

I would get one of those if you can. Peugeots and Citroens are shit, my sister is getting a 206 and i have a saxo and they are all cheap french turds.

[Nb]

Get a honda/toyota/anything but french.

French cars are a little thin on the body front. Citroen have a legacy for it. Piss poor wafer thin body panels are not what you need in a small fast car. The C2 is far better than the saxo for this because the earlier saxos unless looked after are on their way out. The 106 was a great car (and many still are) but a couple of mates found that at about 75,000 miles they nosedived and started to fall to bits

The audis are good but pricey, and as for BMW you get a good car for far more money than you would often pay for a good car from a different manufacturer, although if you play your cards right the BM will last for many more miles. Go any lower than a 2.0 and its like pulling a caravan, especially if you have a lot of luxury kit in that BM.

If I was to choose between the citroen and the 206 I wuld lean towards the peugeot. Dont know why though

My car was well looked after, one lady south african owner who had never touched the redline, i soon sorted that and since then it keeps breaking.

My sister is going to look at a 206 tomorrow with my dad for her first car. Looks alot more solid than what mine does.

Thats a shame mark, I always think back to the citroen AX GT days when that sardine can with a 1.4 could do 0-60 in 9 secs!

I remember the 106GTI being like 3/4's of a sec slower than the saxo VTS despite both having the same engine and thinking why is the citroen so much faster? Has to be the weight saving from using kitkat wrappers instead of steel.

Yeh but they look better and are pretty solid. When we bought that 318 for a joke it had like 200,000 miles and when we were ragging it nothing happened (apart from the exhaust falling off when we were offroading)

But they are shit.

Putting a 1.6 engine in a 3 series is like putting a 1.1 engine in a small hatchback. Its transport, but its not fun.

Even the 320i is nothing special, the engine goes well with the chassis, but it doesn't feel powerful, just adequate. Needs to be 325 or bigger to feel like a quick car.

McGee - Do they actually sell small french cars like that over the US. Cause I've never seen one, plus I think something that small wouldn't appeal to many Yanks cause they like big cars... just a thought

Get a Honda Civic McGee.

Or max up an Nissan or something.

My sister was supposed to get her 206 today. In silver, except when we got there the guy had sold it.

Was out for 5 hours.
