Advantages: convenient size, good fuel consumption, good design and features Disadvantages: a few niggly warranty issues and problems with peugeot main dealers over such claims
...it difficult to find a peugeot main dealer that I was comfortable with--i needed a couple of warranty claim issues sorting out and found that i had to tout around the dealers to see who would put it through without charging me. (To be fair the one i have used most recently has been more helpful) Warranty claims have included loose plastic engine cover (apparently a recognised problem on the diesel?), power steering problem and a back parcel shelf. ... ...is quite vulnerable and really you need both hands free to operate.
All in all a good car for the money, and no major problems.
Advantages- good value for money, good use of space in design, good visibility, ok fuel consumption (i am pleased with it for my style of driving).
Disadvantages-getting main dealers to take responsibilty, back parcel shelf not very strong/durable and interior not particularly hard wearing. ... more
I upgraded to this from the 'normal' shape 206 and have been really pleased with it - definately worth the extra money. The space in the boot and all round visibility is so much better. Day to day i am usually on my own in the car but carry a lot of kit for work. I find it is great for this but when I do need to carry extra people it is slightly cramped for four adults. The drive is good and i have been pleased with fuel consumption. I cover between 20-25k miles pa and have been really pleased with my choice of car. In particular, i feel that the car is good value for money compared with other makes. The power in this model is also good and I have no concerns about overtaking - feeling that the car can handle it. I have been a little disappointed with the 'wear' on the interior of the car--i take great care of my car and generally there are no children in it and yet after three years I find it is looking a little tired particularly around the dashboard and steering wheel. Other disappointment to me is that whilst pleased with the car I found it difficult to find a peugeot main dealer that I was comfortable with--i needed a couple of warranty claim issues sorting out and found that i had to tout around the dealers to see who would put it through without charging me. (To be fair the one i have used most recently has been more helpful) Warranty claims have included loose plastic engine cover (apparently a recognised problem on the diesel?), power steering problem and a back parcel shelf. I found that the roller fabric style parcel shelf is quite vulnerable and really you need both hands free to operate. All in all a good car for the money, and no major problems. Advantages- good value for money, good use of space in design, good visibility, ok fuel consumption (i am pleased with it for my style of driving). Disadvantages-getting main dealers to take responsibilty, back parcel shelf not very strong/durable and interior not particularly hard wearing.
