Well, I think that year Peugeot brought out a special edition line called the "mardis gras" and I saw a peugeot 206 from the range just a few hours ago. It was in a hell of a state compared to mine so the person who did mine up obviously did a good job lol.
I only need mine for a year or so really, didnt pay much for it in the first place lmao |

Luckily my car doesn't even have the option to get automatic. I loathe auto transmissions in sports cars and find it pretty sad that cars such as Ferraris or Porsche Turbos even come with automatcis. It's all market driven however so you can't blame companies for trying to open for bigger market.
To balance it I find automatics in more luxurious cars fine, but still would opt for manual if possible |

If driving automatic its all about the kick-down. Needs to be a decent sized engine for that to be fun though.
But I love manual, I like everything to be at my control.  |

| Most semi-manual (tip-tronic, sport shift, clutchless manual) are junk. You have to usually have a more pricey car to have it be responsive and smooth. Even so, if your trans dies, it damn near cost twice the amount of a standard manual or automatic to replace. |

mind you, if you're someone who changes cars every few years, this probably wouldn't be an issue, but i wouldn't want one of these once it gets a bit older - every piece of machinery needs repaired eventually, so it's only a matter of time...... |
