Peugeot 206 1.6

...My second car was a Peugeot 106 (once the drive of my life), which started off well but came out of its shell within a couple of years. Having numerous problems with this car I was left with two options; pay £800 for a new ECU (which was faulty) when the car was worth under £700, or invest in a new car. Gladly I chose the later option and part-exchanged my 106 for a silver W registration 1.6L 206 GLX. The Look & Price ************************** ...
...dipping front end and shiney Peugeot lion badge. From the side you could probably say the car looks very sporty, especially if you buy it in 3door. From the back the car looks like a typical family car, so you could say it has many personalities. My preferred colour was moonstone (which is like a cross between silver and sky blue), although I eventually chose the cheaper option and went for silver. The price of this car in moonstone was about £750-£1000 ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

I've had a Peugeot 206 XS (1999) for the last 12 months and feel it's time to make a few comments about the car. When I originally bought the car, it was mainly for the other halfs driving pleasure, not mine. though as she hasn't driven the car yet it now seems a little pointless getting the car in the first place. What made us go for the 206 was the size more than anything as for a learner driver it's perfect though for the larger and more experienced ...
...this isn't a reps car made for motorway driving. Overall: This is my first Peugeot and now I doubt the last. On the experience I have had so far I will be seriously considering another one. Probably the 307 CC. I'll just need to convince the other half. ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

...you buy it new, the Peugeot dealership is likely to give you one year’s road tax and one year’s breakdown cover which makes the cost of a new car a little easier on the old wallet! I’ve read quite a few car opinions and one thing springs to mind with all of them… these are not easy ops to write. With this in mind, I’ve spent the past few days writing and rewriting to try and get this just right. I want to do myself and this car justice, so please ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

...burnt orange limited edition 1.6 peugeot 206. It is my pride and joy. I bought this little bundle a year ago in August for £2850 and although it had high mileage it was love at first sight and I just had to have it. Despite the high mileage I can honestly say that I have never had any serious problems with it and it has never let me down or made me question why I bought it. The car speaks for itself and I daresay theres still a good few years left ...
...to get them replaced by peugeot and peugeot are very expensive for car parts. But for most things you can avoid the main dealer and get cheaper options at normal garages. Another expensive factor to this car is that I have the 17" GTI look alike alloys fitted. Very expensive to replace but again these do not come fitted as standard but came with the car when I bought it used. What comes as standard? The car comes as standard with electric windows ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

I have had my V-reg 206 XS for over a year now and have very mixed feelings: I've experienced a couple of annoying repetitive problems that (I believe) are common to many 206's ... although they may have rectified them in newer models. The worst was a squeaky belt in the engine that I have had to go back to the garage 4/5 times for! It was a design fault, apparently which should probably have never re-occurred had my garage fixed it properly the ...
...a loose connection to the power “on” button on my stereo, which has occurred twice. Minor problems really, neither of which effective the performance of the car. I find it comfortable (although some say the driving position is awkward) and use my car daily to and from work (30 mins journey each way). It has easily enough power for motorway driving and can travel along at a fair rate of knots should you so desire. It is prone to under ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

The 206 has to be with out a doubt one of the best all round cars on the market. Everything is in it’s favour. Sharp precise handling, good economy, adequate performance. The Roland Garros edition has made a good car great. Add to the above list leather and suede interior, oyster dials, panoramic glass roof and you have the makings of not only a great car, but a great luxury hatch back. The seats are very supportive and comfortable, a fine ...
...case has been. The driving position again is near perfect. With the seat in the right position everyone from the tallest to the shortest driver can use the car on a regular day to day basis. Stereo controls on the steering column are another “nice” touch. As are the electric windows – all round – electric mirrors and electric roof blind. Turn the key and the 1.6 engine sparks into life. A good trusty power plant that is utilised ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

This was actaully my 1st car. I now drive a c class coupe, but i still miss my puggy! This car is an excellent drive, the throttle response is excellent as well as the steering. The performance on the data sheet is rather poor, 0-60 in 10 secs or more. But in reality, you stick it in 2nd gear and above 2500rpm, it starts to turn to a beast. however, i must mention the gear shift is VERY VERY long. as in.. it is as if you're pulling a lever on ...
...point is too close to the top. in all, the engine and tramistion setup makes the car very nippy, very useful when dodgy parked cars on city roads in a hurry. however, keeping it in 2nd gear isn;t the best for fuel economy, but it averages around 32mpg if you're careful. The interior is a.. well... standard, everything very plastic, but yet stylishly placed. nothing can really be said about the interior as there isn;t much to comment on. Rear seats ...

...ASKED HAD I CONSIDERED A PEUGEOT AND SUGGESTED THAT BEFORE I SAID NO THANKS, I SHOULD CONSIDER A TRIP TO A DEALER AND CHECK THE 206 RANGE OUT. I FELT I HAD NOTHING TO LOSE AND HAVING APPROACHED A DEALER IN RHOSTYLLEN, WREXHAM I WAS ABLE TO VIEW AND TEST DRIVE A SILVER 206 16V GLX. I HAD DISCOUNTED OTHER SUGGESTIONS SUCH AS THE 206 1.1 AND INDEED OTHER COLOURS (I WAS CHOOSING A CAR AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AS OPPOSED TO ORDERING ONE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. ...

THE VEHICLE IS QUITE COMPACT AND THEREFORE ALTHOUGH SOME MAY FEEL THAT A 1.6 ENGINE IS NOTHING TO WRITE HOME ABOUT, I CAN TELL YOU THAT IT SHIFTS AND IS GOOD ON BOTH THE MOTORWAY AND MORE RURAL ROADS. THE HANDLING IS SMOOTH AND COMFORTABLE. THE AIR CONDITIONING IS AN EXCELLENT FEATURE ALTHOUGH FOR THOSE THAT ARE ...

First of all how dare some of these women call this a woman's car! It's a nice luxury car for both sexes, it's not just girls that like a bit of luxury I'll have you know, hehe. It's a good car for me because it's got enough power in it when you need to overtake but not too much top end speed which is again good for me as it won't tempt me to lose my license in a hurry. I find it very economical too. I drive 300 miles a week sometimes and still ...
...a lot on how fast you drive it. Personally I found if I change gear at 3000 revs and go at 55-60 mph on the motorway then it is VERY economical. Keep the speed for when you want to show off to your girlfriend! It's great. Plenty of speed if you need it and the option of being very economical too. The luxury aspect is wonderful. I love the automatic windscreen wipers, 6CD changer, the sound from the stereo is very good with plenty of power. I paid ...

Yes, I’m a woman, yes I drive, and that does not make me a bad driver. I’ve only lost the back end once going round a roundabout at 50 on a wet road. That’s my only near miss. It scared the crap out of me so I won’t be doing it again anytime soon. Yes I do get road rage- if that’s what you want to call me shouting insults at other drivers while my windows are shut and over the top of loud music. I’ve had my 206 for nearly a year now, I’m a new ...

My 206 is metallic silver, it’s a 1.6 GLX, 5-door hatchback. It’s got: o Digital air conditioning with climate control and athermic windscreen. o Power assisted steering- a Girly feature, the steering is light as anything. o Smart driver and passenger airbags (with passenger ...

Also petrol consumption is poor when you go over 70, but the car has alot of pulling power and can keep up with the BMW sales men and I've never been late to a meeting in this car, normaly I'm late.....so it must be the car. The car also has some annoying faults, firstly the beeps when you have 40/50 miles left in the ...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

Having test driven most cars in this class over the last few weeks,the 206glx is head and shoulders ahead of the rest. It drives as well as any car in its class and better than most, At its price it is very well equiped again better than most. Having driven the 206 glx 1.6 ac over all kinds of roads in the midlands and southwest,And in some really nasty weather(not snow yet). It has not given me any cause for concern with grip or braking and i ...
...very good,A real bonus in cornwall where the weather can change every mile. Town driving is an almost pleasent experience,It's small turning circle and power steering combined with it's shortend body shape make it very easy to park. The automatic windscreen wipers are a real bonus, on motorways after rain they do a really good job with patchy spray from other motors, they alter speed accordingly with density of spray. ...
