My tiny French convertible - Peugeot 207CC

Got her a few days ago, looking forward to hassle-free driving over the next 3 years.

nice ride, sir. i really like the color.

How much ba yan, Bro Picanto?

[picantorange]

Hi guys, salamat sa replies. Chua_riwap, the price converted to PHP is a little over 1M. I guess it's much cheaper here because of very low tax rates imposed by the government. I remember reading a few years ago in the car buyer's guide of Top Gear or whatever motoring magazine it was that the 206CC (the model which this one succeeds) was selling for 1.5M in the Philippines.

Thanks renz. Sabi nga nila, ang layo daw sa previous car ko (Picanto - which I didn't really want to spend a lot of money on since di rin ako magtatagal sa Pinas for much longer).

very nice ride, sir! huge improvement in looks when the top is on compared to older 206cc. hinde na cia mukhang bitin.

wishing you longer than 3 years of problem free driving!

Hi carlo, yup I think it's leaps ahead of the 206CC in terms of styling and technology. With the older model the roof wasn't fully automatic. You'd have to release some latches somewhere in car (I think in the boot). The engine is the same as the 1.6L naturally aspirated four-banger used in the MINI Cooper, while the transmission was co-developed with Porsche. That means if the time comes to have any of those two components repaired and the warranty has lapsed, I'll have to pay an arm and a leg. Hehehe.

The only thing I don't fancy about the car is the interior. It looks okay, feels upmarket, but it's kinda dated for me, especially compared to the interior of the 308. But the CC variant of the 308 won't be available until Q4 of this year I think, so I guess I'm just gonna have to make my peace with that.

Thanks for dropping by!

what!? an arm and leg? nako na curious na talaga ako gano kamahal mag maintain ng peugeot cars. pero just what like the others already said. nice ride nga. exotic dating base from the side view. siguro if it was really lower than 1m dito i think marami ring mag gaganyan dito

[picantorange]

Hi Burai, I'm just thinking it'd be expensive to maintain the powertrain (if it does break down) because the engine is from BMW while the tranny is from Porsche. I hope they don't break down LOL. I'll observe na rin, kasi kung sirain, I'll get rid of it before the warranty expires. Or ship it to Manila to display in the garage LOL.

Naku, overpriced nga sa atin. Dito na very minimal ang tax, umabot din ng 1M ang converted price. So baka sa atin eh dagdagan nila ng daan daang libo, say maging 1.5M. That's what they did to the 206CC, and it was just too expensive for just a cutesy boulevardier. Tapos sasabihan ka pa ng pambabae auto mo. :-D
