The 206 GTI 180 and RC were produced to celebrate Peugeots rallying successes between 2000 - 2003 The GTi 180 comes well-specced. In addition to the sports seats and set n forget digital air-conditioning with climate control you get a heat reflective windscreen, a remote control radio/CD with a 5-disc autochanger, automatic rain sensing wipers, automatic headlights and a trip computer. Tinted glass, one-touch electric windows, electric folding and heated door mirrors, front fog lights and remote locking can also be taken nicely for granted. In addition there is a handy service indicator and electronic oil level display: the level is shown for approximately ten seconds following the service information after turning on the ignition. A mini-stalk on the right of the steering column allows remote access of all audio. Due to the very nature of the car The 180 comes with ABS with electronic brake force distribution, emergency brake assist, an electronic stability programme and traction control with an easily-reached deactivation switch, along with speed-sensitive power steering. The range of direct and indirect passive safety equipment includes smart driver and front passenger airbags, two side airbags, front and rear curtain airbags and seat belts with pre-tensioners and force limiters. Another convenient safety feature is the automatic hazard light activation in the event of emergency braking. Euro NCAP Rating - Four out of Five Stars. Built 2003 - 2006 The engine powering the 180 is the most powerful 4-cylinder engine of the current Peugeot generation. With double overhead camshafts and 16 valves it also benefits from variable valve timing, which does a good job of boosting mid-range torque. While the beefy engine is happiest once it has hit 4,000rpm — when theres a noticeable increase in power — it will pull cleanly in top gear from 70 mph even up a long climbing stretch of motorway. Performance it has in abundance, courtesy of 180bhp from a 2.0-litre engine that begs to be revved all the way to the 7,300rpm redline.
