Peugeot 206 1.6 Roland Garros

I understood. This is a dynamic game that not only promotes fitness, but also develops explosive strength and sociability in the player. To play, you'll need a tennis racket, a tough teammate, a reserved hour on the sand, and last but not least, a car to take you to the court.

Peugeot 206 1.6 Roland Garros

For this, a Peugeot 206 1.6 Roland Garros was ordered. Why do you ask? Because the body is already dressed in dark green, and on the sides there are badges with the inscription Roland Garros. Because the white leather that covers the seats matches the traditional white shorts and T-shirt that actors usually wear. But also because the air conditioner will save you from the unbearable heat, which they love to scorch the playground at the height of summer. But there is a rule: do not exaggerate!

The feeling was very homey in this car, as almost the same car adorns our super test park. A 1-liter four-cylinder engine that develops a sharp 6bhp. at 90 rpm, it is quite consistent with the full load of the car, but, of course, also allows you to more boldly overtake quickly.

The gearbox is fast and precise, handling is one of the best in its class. However, the essence of this car is in a rich configuration.

With the Roland Garros label, you get two airbags, automatic air conditioning, touch-sensitive wipers, electrically adjustable and heated mirrors, power windows, radio for listening to CDs, remote central locking, aluminum wheels and front fog lights. All of this includes a "glass" roof through which the sky can be viewed.

Interestingly, Peugeot offers at exactly the same price the most luxuriously equipped 206 you just read, and the sportiest 206 with the S16 designation. So you can choose between the comfort of leather seats, stargazing and comfort, or between the sportiness of cramped seats, the roar of a more agile engine and the rigidity of a sportier chassis. Two versions of the same model, designed for completely different drivers.

Roland Garros 206 is said to be written on the skin of drivers who do not want to give up prestige even with a smaller car. You know, tennis has always been considered an aristocratic sport. And aristocrats have always loved to take care of themselves. Even while driving.

  • Many will say that for this money you are already getting a bigger car. It is true, but the rich equipment contributes to significantly better driving well-being. True, it will not work to measure this with a meter. Roland Garros is intended not only for tennis players, but also for everyone who likes to drive in comfort, regardless of the modest dimensions of the car.
