BBC Top Gearin Jeremy Clarkson kertoo 206 RC:stä seuraavaa:
"On Wednesday I used the 206 to go to the Top Gear base and, I have to admit, on a quiet country road it was quite good fun. Nothing like the hot hatches of yesteryear that sang soprano, it was more a torquey tenor. But that’s okay when you’re 43; it means you don’t have to stir the gearbox so much.
It wasn’t the speed that impressed most, though, it was the handling. It would sail round corners at velocities I would deem silly or even suicidal in other cars, some of which cost an awful lot more than £14,995.
I must confess, I found myself driving this little pocket rocket much faster than was entirely sensible. And I loved it. By the time I arrived I felt 18 years old again.
All day, as we made the show, I kept walking past the 206 and thinking: “Actually, that’s a very pretty little car.” And it is. Less cute than a Mini but prettier, certainly, and, with those huge alloys and fat tyres, more businesslike.
On Thursday I drove it round the Top Gear track and it was simply staggering. I’m loathe to use the word perfect but the combined effect of variable assistance power steering, dual-rate springs, sharp dampers and truly magnificent front seats that nail you in place is that you can absolutely fly.
The Mini’s good but the Peugeot’s in a different class. It’s like comparing Iron Maiden to Led Zep.
And part of the difference is down to weight. The Mini really is an Iron Maiden and the Peugeot really is a hot-air balloon.
Sadly, on Thursday night I went to a party where I quaffed champagne until I didn’t know my name any more. This meant that when I woke up in Chipping Norton today I couldn’t for the life of me remember where the Peugeot was. I miss it."
Kehuja satelee !!!!
