Peugeot 206 SW 1.4 HDi > Reviews (1)

What can i say about this fantastic car,

I have had mine since August, and there are still not that many of them around, not sure why that is,

I have the Sahara Yellow, colour which looks fab ( when its kept clean ), but unfortunatly they discontinued this colour in July, when i ordered mine, so you can't buy one like mine.

Escape the ordinary with this versatile tourer.

The 206 SW offers the dynamic performance you would expect from the 206, but its cleverly designed capacious boot opens up a host of possibilities.

I have had my car 5 months and it has been everywhere, I have the HDI 90 2.0 ( not made anymore) and i get about 500 miles out of a full tank of fuel, the fuel tank hold about 60 litres.

I have been on holiday to wales in my car and had four adults and one child in the car and everyone had enough space to be comfortable,

We had three large cases, two small bags, various very small bags and a buggy in the boot, and all the luggage fitted in no problem,

Although we couldn't close the cover on the boot but that is the advantage with this car, that you open the full boot door, and put in you large items, and fill up the bottom of the boot, then you are able to close to the boot door and open the tailgate and continue to put in smaller items, rather than having to try and get the boot shut before everything falls out.

It is great for using to carry your shopping, as within the boot there are two bag holders that are moulded into the plastic moulding in the boot,

All you have to do is put the handles of the bag you need kept upright and hook over the bag handles on to the holders and place inside the large elastic strap, and this will keep your bags upright.

Also it comes complete with a boot net, which is great when carrying lots of small items as it attaches to four metal eyes with hooks, the metal eye are located within the boot, two behind the rear seats and two as you open the boot door.

It is a very comfortable car, and very quiet , the boot cover come out of the car competely enabling you to carry bulky items.

The day i picked up my car i wanted to put it to the test and see exactly what you could fit in to it,so i went to Ikea to pick up a large bulky piece of furniture, ( that we had been wanting but didn't know how to get it home )

Ok i had to fold the back seats flat and move the passenger and drivers seat forward slightly, but the item went into the boot no problem, and my partner who is 6 foot was still able to drive the car home,

I love driving this car, and of all the cars i have driven which have all been peugeots i have to say this is a very close winner, i used to have a 307 HDI 2.0 D-turbo, and thought nothing would ever match its performance.

But i have to say i have found a car in the 206 SW that i would rather have than my 307 anyday, for looks, performance, and reliability.
