I'd take the 3...I've driven a few, and they really aren't that far off from an M6, and I think theyr'e better looking vehicles too.

Take the Peugeot. it has a nice 1.6 engine (you can even get a 206 with the optional 2.0 180 Bhp engine in the RC) that can easily put out more power and has the best looks/ handling combination.

The new Ibiza Cupra R for example. I don't the price of it =\
Clio Sport 2.0?
Civic Type-R?

Choosing from those 3, Mazda...

Polo too heavy for the motor that he have.
206 too much girl car, only if was RC. And i would think twice, there are another cars in market too.
Mazda looks beautiful and have the best motor of those 3.

enxplain RC for peugeot ?!

zevolv · 01-14-2004, 01:53 AM

I'm gonna guess he means a Rally Car
I'd take the Mazda hatchback

Given the choice I'd go for the Mazda 3 option as it's built on the same platform as the Volvo S40 (2nd series) and the, yet to come, new Ford Focus.

No, it's not a Rally Car... the Peugeot 206 RC is a limited series edition that was created to compete with the Renault Clio Sport 2.0. it has a normally aspirated 2.0 liter 4-inline that puts out 180Bhp in a car that weighs little over 1000 kg, so it's an amazing performer.

BTW, "RC" stands for "Rally Challenge"

the 206 rc, as I known, isn't available in america, don't know if in guatemala does.
personally i don't like putting big rims and tyres to cars, seems to be a waste of money.

the 206 is a nice car, a lot more expensive than the polo, if u buy the cc, and don't know how the mazda costs
with the polo u can be sure of nice plastics, good tolerances around the chasis, good reliability (maybe a so-so if the engine is built in brazil or another country like that), it's an overall "good" car, but don't expect to re-sell it for a lot of money. VW cars that aren't jetta o golf, don't have a good market for reselling.

the peugeot 206 cc is a car for 2, think seriously this fact. The 1.6 engine will be a little small for you if u want to drag race your friends or drive fast for a while. I drove the last year's model, excellent value for your money.

test drive all your choices, look for the insurance prices for a kid of your age, maintenance costs (u could buy a cheap car, but the maintenance will suffocate u), maybe the reselling market.

also check for the equipment, i prefer to buy a smaller car that is loaded with sound system w/cd, abs, airbags, etc. than its bigger brother that could only have an AM radio

i'm telling u this because i resell cars and maybe you'll enjoy 2 years with that car, but then they'll give you 25 cents for your car ,and i don't like to buy cars that come from teenagers (most of them have ruined the engine, a couple of crashes, ...)

The only country in which you can get the 206 RC is Chile, otherwise you would have to import it independantly (like some importers do here in Mexico).

The Peugeot 1.6 engine may seem small if you plan to race your car against others with bigger engines or if you happen to live, like me, at over 7,000 Ft above sea level. Otherwise, compared with the other two cars you just mentioned (Mazda 3 and VW Polo) the Peugeot has the most efficent and powerful engine, not to mention pretty good handling (don't know about the Mazda 3, I've never driven one) that can at least equal (the Mazda 3) or beat (the Polo) the other two cars handling.

As Antonio said, better to check insurance and service costs and drive them both to decide which one is best for you

Keep away from Peugeots (or Renault for that matter), quality problems ...

adlinyusman · 01-14-2004, 08:49 AM

If you can stretch for the 206 GTi...that's a better buy i guess
