206s are god damn awful cars *shudder*

I too would be looking at Focuses and Fiestas.

I had a 206 and it drove really well. Have a 1.6 focus now while the toys are off the road and I cannot fault that either! Focus gets my vote.

206 in general id say are good cars but the gti's are terrible!

Still not a patch on the focus, one of the best cars ever for me as a daily!
