' Driven ' reviews

[DavidGilmour]

I just watched the driven videos on the site.
How come that they slagged off the 206 when in their first review they raved about it ?
I can see that the CC has some minor practical things which are not a matter to me ( back seats, small boot ). Hell, the SLK doesn't even have back seats and who wants to drive a 4 seat cabrio anyway ?
But why did they say that it gots the may look fantastic but it just isn't that good a drive.... ? Did they get paid by Vauxhall and VW ? Anyway, those 3 cars may have the same feature ( a roof that can go up and down ) but I think the 206 is in a league of its own and can't be compared to those 2 dull cars. Maybe a comparison with the new Daihatsu would be nice. What do u guys think ?

Think the opinion at the time was that they weren't comparing like with like. They didn't give sufficient credit for the Peugeot having the hard retractable roof, plus they used a Cayman green Peugeot which people didn't like compared to the more staid colours of the other vehicles.
