bought my V-Reg with 72k for £2.6k just over a year ago so sounds good...
look out for www.dontbuypeugeot.com apart from that no problems other than bulbs going and some fuses

If you have feet bigger than an 8 then you can't really drive it properly as the pedal box is so cramped.

thats a new one, Im a size 11 and manage it fine, I think what you mean is the pedal position, slightly offset. I think the driving position is fine, never had a problem with hitting the front end or the rear of the car, do agree the dash is quite big and also the pillars by the front windscreen can obstruct the view a bit at junctions

206 gtis are sexy cars - but cant stand driving them. My 2nd learner car was a 1.6 xsi 05 reg thing and it look bangin but hated it. The seat moved back about 3 inches, I was constintly cramped. I can drive my corsa b with the seat half way from the front, more comfortably then when t he 206 was all the way back.
Unless your small, Fat with stumpy legs. dont get one

I havent had any problems with mine, Im 5ft 10, not fat and have long legs and never had a problem, dont know about the lower spec models, but the GTi has height adjustment on the seat which alters the driving position

great car handle well and look brilliant( yes i have one )
the difference between the 138 and 180 is so marginal,i chose the 138 as i got a brilliant deal but performance really isnt that much different obviously the 180 is quicker just not amazingly quicker

Im the same but I moved from a VTS, probably why we dont notice the supposedly poor position, lol

the only thing i found bad was the long throw for the gear change but you get used to it quickly plus there are various quickshifts about
