I traded my 206 gti in for a golf gti 1.8 turbo.
Beleive me you really dont know how poo pugs build quality is. The golf is light years ahead.. no sqeaks rattles or anything. Feels like my step father bmw 5 series in the refinement stakes.
My new golf feels just as quick as my 206 gti but sadly on the handling side its not quite on par with my pug.
Pug was far more nimble but the build quality more than makes up for it.
Also with the pug 206 gti you have to spend 100's if not 1000's to make it a quick car and because of this other than a quickshift and k&n my pug was standard.
Best thing about the golf is 150bhp and 160lbft of torque as standard, then you can take it for its ecu code changing (a guy plugs his laptop into your ecu) and £500 later you have 220bhp and 240lbft of torque and a very quick car indeed (The golf now has the same power as a subaru impreza turbo but weighs less!!) . If you get an exhaust with sports cat and a larger turbo inlet pipe (another £500) it goes up another 20bhp to 240bhp!
Looking at about 6.5 0-60mph and 14-15 seconds to 100mph
So advice from me who had a pug 206gti for a very long time...... get shut and buy a gti turbo. You dont know what your missing out on ;D ;D ;D
