Default 206 cc

The wife is showing an interest in the above, what with the sun shining etc, great for her as she can be seen easier fluttering her eyelids.

The car would have to seat her and 2 youngsters and a bit of shopping.
Do they have a boot, any reliability issues, would it suit the requirements?.

Performance is not a factor as she has no idea.

They do, but the leading edge of the seat cushion actually touches the front seats, so unless Mrs bob r is really short, the kids probably won't be comfy.

Misses is on her second................

Yes to back seats but quite upright and small amount of legroom, not for adults but ok for small children. Has a roof divider in the boot , so when roof is down space can take 8 shopping bags' ish. With roof up, boot is huge, i.e bigger than most saloons.

Other points...
- if you add a winddefector , which really works, you lose the ability for people to sit in the rear seats
- Typical peugeot build isnt great but not bad.... however dealers are not of a high quality in my opinion.
- Recall on a pedal pin should be done free
- Brakes squeal is known issue
- Older cars do not have a strip on the roof, so if its rained water comes off the roof and onto you and the car, when you get in

My boss has a 206cc. Nice enough little car, but it feels really tinny after my Octavia

Had a ride in of these before. In the front seats, with the windows up it doesnt even look or feel like your in a cabrio at all, which kinda defeats the purpose of the free flowing feeling.

Saw a new blue 3.2 TTRin the flesh yesterday at a dealer...... i liked it, and well equipped.

I wish they would boost the torque and power a bit , say 350bhp/lbft. Just enough to be really fun, but not enough to worry their RS models.... I'd think seriously about taking one.

I have to say that for sporty driving im not a fan of the 3.2 V6. Its a good cruiser, but overall its lacking the extra power to warrant it over the excellent 2.0T.

Hopefully audi will start sales of the refreshed 3.2 with valvelift technology soon as that boosts the power and fuel economy.

they have an ATTEMPT at back seats - however unless you have a family of DWARVES or kids under 4 then i wouldnt bother!

i prefer the 307CC - bigger and WAY cooler looking

TBH my circle of info are at complete loss when audi will introduce valvelift technology. We expected it to come along with the A5 but that didnt happen. We are now holding out for september when the new A4 gets revealed. I will see if I can get any info on it actually as I havent been pushing the sources for info about it.

On a side note the 3.2 V6 will valvelift is already to have been confirmed to be capable of 300hp.

Now we are talking if we can get 300BHP...... in a TT or TTr. It would make a very cost effective daily fun driver for me.

i will keep my eyes open for info ......

As an aside , i canceled my order for the R8 and got a refund, for 2 reasons. I will go for a cheaper daily car , and a specilaised weekend/Eurohoon car. Secondly i just didnt get a good feeling on the R8 as time progressed and when i thought about the 80K plus tag i started to wonder would it be the ultimate ...

I think that cancelling was possibly a very good move as the 480hp version doesnt seem to be too far off, and some people with the 420hp version might get pretty miffed, that is if they have the extra money to spend on getting the 5.2 V10 version. Then theres also the possibility of the V12 diesel coming into play. Interesting to see how it folds out. Im also pushing for more news on the possibilities of a 350hp TT, as that would be a scorcher.

Bob has your wife considered the megance CC?
