Peugeot 206 1.4

...is my review on the Peugeot 206 (1.4 GLX model) and as such is hopefully written in a way that will make sense to everyone, from the car expert to the novice. I took the plunge in August 2002 and ordered a brand new GLX... Approximately eight weeks later it arrived, and it was love at first sight... LOOKS *************** The 206 is a fairly small car - slightly larger than a Fiesta, not so big as an Astra. Looks-wise, it is quite a curvy car, ...
...things about the 206 are the lights at the front, which look slighly evil in the way that they slope backwards, almost feline like. Another immediately recognisable feature of the 206 is the two air vents on the right hand side of the bonnet. Unlike the majority of other models of the 206, the GLX comes with alloy wheels which add to the overall 'sleekness' of the car. Other than the addition of the alloys, the GLX looks almost the same as any other ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

...cars, we finally chose the Peugeot 206 1.4 LX (although Ciao call it a 1.3?) okay, it's a 1360cc engined car. Let's not split hairs eh? We opted for a 2000 W reg automatic 3 door in metallic blue, and picked one up from our local Peugeot dealership for a bargain £6,495, with 26,000 miles on the odometer (wow, what a great word!). True, you can pick them up a little cheaper, but finding an automatic can be difficult at the best of times, unless you're ...

There's plenty of rivalry between the car supermarkets and dealers, so take your time and be a bit bold! Anyway, on with the op... *** Exterior *** Aesthetically pleasing little car, curvaceous yet somehow slim, prim and proper, it does look the part. No alloys as standard, ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

...get the car from a Peugeot Dealership with full service history and 25 000 miles on the clock. This was comparable to the Renault Clio but I felt better value than the VW Polo. COSTS *************************** The 1.4 is cheap to run, offering a solid 43 mpg. At the service I had (which was only an intermediate one, main service every 20 000 miles) everything was great and needed no changes. Peugeot parts are fairly priced, e.g. spark plugs at ...
...be assessed individually and here I’m only looking at my 1.4. This seemed to offer me a good balance – it is nippy around town in the low gears, confident at 85 mph on the motorway (and above!) and what I especially enjoy is the ease of steering. The lightness of the power steering makes the car effortlessly manoeuvrable, the downside being the steering does feel light when you’re cruising at high speeds, but a small cost to pay. The pedals are quite ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

...But, I have had my Peugeot 1.4 LX 206 for just over a year and consider its about time I gave an honest appraisal of the car. THE START I decided to change my car (Fiesta) for a newer model. So off I went to visit Ford, Vauxhall and Peugeot garages. After not a lot of consideration (I was put off by the first two sales people) I ended up at Peugoet. I spied this red car on the forecourt, and fell in love with it! Fab shape, great colour, interior ...
...the ABS for you - Peugeot have an excellent braking system. It has air bags, central locking and seats 5 people effortlessly. Fine. Can it move - yes, it is fast and nippy. Ideal for town or motorway driving and I do a lot of both. Fuel economy is excellent, although the air conditioning does run off the fuel, it doesn't use that much. Under the bonnet - found the oil stick thing (if I can anyone can!), water bottle for the wipers and the other essentials. ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

...sales guy at a official Peugeot dealer was very friendly and very helpful. However they didn't have any Sport models for me to test drive so I had to test drive an older but similar specification 206. First moral of the story - YOU MUST BE PATIENT AND TEST DRIVE THE EXACT CAR YOU'RE GOING TO BUY. I pick up my new car a week later (one week before they said it was going to be ready, which was great) and the sales guy went through all the instrument ...
...time I had to call Peugeot assistance (partnered with RAC - a cover you're forced to pay for in the purchase price when you buy a new peugeot). Spoke to Peugeot and they said it was a problem with some sort of sensor - again! So there's the major problems - so far. You may think that it's only the two but for a brand new car you shouldn't really expect it to have these manufacturing faults within eight months. To summarise, the only thing that ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

We recently went on holiday to Cornwall, and rather than face the 12 hour drive from Edinburgh, decided to fly to Exeter, and hire a car. We ended up with a 206 SW 1.4 - which was a little smaller than what we'd originally ordered, but were reasonably happy with it as basic transport. Unlike the photo (I hope to add some of the car I got, shortly) this is a five door model. The car we got had a 1.4 litre fuel injection engine, with power steering ...
...the temperature climbed to the 30s - that's 90s in old money!, we were more than grateful! The car itself was described as an 'estate' - I think that was perhaps overstating it - my preference would be to describe it as a 'squareback' - having a 'boxy' back end. First impressions were that it was reasonably well equipped, the driver's seat had plenty of adjustments - you'd have to be some sort of anatomical freak not to be able to get a comfortable ...

...ways, this is a typical Peugeot and therefore offers all the driving pleasure usually associated with the lion badge. It is certainly nippy, and will happily zoom off at a roundabout. The Power Steering is efefctive but not too light or "numbed". Driving is generally relaxed and easy thanks to the PAS, the ergonomics (height-adjust seat & wheel) etc. Stability is fairly good for a little car, and grip isn't bad, but there can be a fair bit of body ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

PEUGEOT 206 1.4 FEVER 3dr PETROL (REG '04) I was so surprised to see that on my first visit to the Peugeot section of Ciao, the reputation of the Peugeot 206 is so high. Maybe I'm the one unlucky owner of one, or maybe Peugeot have assigned their employees aliases with which to trail the web and sing the car's praises. I'm not going to slate the car, just describe my observations of the vehicle from my experience, so that hopefully, you would reconsider ...
...it me, or do all Peugeot 206 drivers have the nastiest dirtiest fron wheels on the road. Next time you see one, have a look. After so many years, you would have thought that Peugeot would have developed a hubcap that would take more than a little scrape. And I won't even go on about the brake dust. Shall we talk first gear? Cars that are ten years old can hit 15/20mph in first gear. So can the 206, but boy does it get strangled! Other than that, ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

Driving a 206 could be an unexciting experiment -there's so much on the roads-, but what a car it is ! Launched in '98, it's not one of the most sold cars in Europe for nothing ! I've owned myself a 206 1.4 XT for one year and half: it's a second hand car which belonged to my parents, they bought it new in September 2000. At that day, it has nearly 70,000 km, and I'm very satisfied of it. Here's some technical features: * 1,360 cc/75 hp petrol ...

On the other hand, soundproofing is just acceptable, just like roominess and boot, unsufficient. Beware ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

...I accepted delivery of a Peugeot 206 in metallic Sapphire Blue. I jumped into the car with a chorus of "where's your hairdryer?" and "I'll have a trim" ringing in my ears leaving me with some prior mis-conceptions about the general use of the 206. The engine size was 1.4 and boy did it move, pulling away from the office I noticed that the car was extremely responsive and quick off the blocks. The car moved very easily through the gears and took the ...
...was in a class of its own, fast away from the lights and nippy through the traffic it is small but doesn't drive like your typical small car. A Fiesta this ain't!! This car handles very well on the motorway also, none of the typical shuddering and juddering at higher speeds that you usually experience with a car of this size. I was also surprised at the inside layout of the car, very clean and concise with a lack of the over-engineered look that ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

I am the proud owner of a 206 but as with all cars there are advantages and disadvantages. The car itself is a sporty little number and is very nippy. I have the 1.4 lx, which is very smooth and handles well. The trim is standard and as other opinions go it can be quite cramped but with it being a sporty model one might expect this. The only qualm I really have with my 206 is the windscreen wipers which haven't been converted from the design ...
...frustrating when its raining. Its good on fuel and the transmission is excellent. I am awaiting the time when I can get the body kit and alloys for the car. Once I have this it should added to the cars sporty look. The one great advantage of this car is that all girls love it. So if your looking for a car that's quite cheap, looks sporty and entices the women then look no further!! ...

...I've owned my 3 door Peugeot 206 1.4 LXi for over 7 years now and am perfectly happy with it. I bought it after having driven about seven 306s (as company cars) for 5 years. I was changing jobs and didn't want to buy a 2nd hand car so I used my employee discount of 17% to buy this nifty and nice-looking car. ABOUT MY 206 ~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I bought it in December 1998, it was one of the first 206's on the road and people used to comment all the ...
...basic urban model. Peugeot 206's do tend to hold their value, I've seen 5 year old models being advertised for just under £5k. CONCLUSION ~~~~~~~~~~ The Peugeot 206 1.4 LX is a low maintenance car - it passes its MOT every year without any problems, not for me anyway, and it's not like I'm one of those people who takes immaculate care of her car. I often get surveys asking, "When do you plan on replacing your current vehicle?" Well I don't plan ...
