Yeah, I'll ask a bloke at work - he's swedish. Watch this space if I get any sense out of him. And no, he's not a chef.

Here's a quick try at a translation, grammar and spelling is probably
crap

Peugeot 206 cc: A cab for summer and winter

Wisest in it's class

The small Peugeot 206 cc immediately won our liking.
At last a userfriendly small cabriolet with metal roof at
a sensationally low price.

With the 90 horsepower engine it doesn't cost more than the
cheapest VW Golf 1,4.

For the price of 144 900 kronor one gets an unusually practical
small cabriolet that works equally well in the summer as well as
the winter. Exclusive things like real glass rearwindow and metal
roof previously only Mercedes SLK could offer, at a price
above 300 000 kronor.
206 CC fits equally well as first car in the single household as
second car for the small family, oh yes the rearseat actually is
ok for two small children and if you keep the roof up the luggage
has room for 410 litres. In about 20 seconds the small coupe is
transformed into an open delight. The sitting position is a bit
high however and some of the test team members complained about
sitting too close to the windscreen.
True, but at the same time the windprotection is really good.
The sensible car buyer might benefit from knowing that the
resale value probably will be high. Thats not bad at all.

Up's: Price, fun to drive, year-around-solutionwith the metal roof
Down's: Tight rear seat, small luggage with the roof in the down position.

* Worth it's price, entertaining, useful.

With the 90 horsepower engine

Should that not be Kw instead of horsepower? The official specs give 110 BHP (80Kw) and 138 BHP (100Kw) for the 1.6 and 2.0 respectively.

have red the original newspaper clip and the translation is right. It stands 90 horsepower and I think they are refering to the 1.6
Of course 80 is the right number of horses :-)

No, that's the point - 110 is the correct number of horses :razz:
