Peugeot

...buy a secondhand C reg Peugeot 205 diesel which was ideal to get me from Dorset to Bath, where I was at university, and back again. With plenty of room in the back to carry all my gear up to the halls of residence and plenty of room for bringing my dirty washing back home to my parents. My 205 I named Bob and he did a very heafty milage (approximately 80,000 in 4.5 years) and survived about four minor run ins with other vehicles and the odd shunt ...
...about the guys at the peugeot garage is that they always gave me advice on cheaper alternatives I could do if they thought the work was a bit unnecessary on a car that age. Eventually my little 205 reached the 200,000 mark and was still purring along nicely but by this time I was a 24 year old graduate in my first job as a designer and I was yearning for something nice to spend my first real wages on and I knew that the 205, although a super car, ...

Review of Peugeot

...had a two year old peugeot 106. Obviously our world was changing drastically and so were our transportation needs. First we needed to identify our future needs. The biggy was economy. She would soon be out of a job and we would have an extra mouth to feed. So we needed 5 doors for easy access for kid and associated paraphernalia, reliability (no repair bills needed thank you!), No gadgets (more to get broken and go wrong} but a decent sized engine ...
...our old cars for a Peugeot 306 XL. We've had this for three years now. The 1400 cc engine gives a wonderful compromise between power and economy. It has never let us down. A full annual service costs less than £ 100 at a local garage. There is plenty of room for for five adults. The back seats fold down to give convert this little beauty into a pseudo-estate car. No electric pack means no surprise expensive repair bills when stuff goes wrong. ...

Review of Peugeot

...the big bad world of Peugeot dealerships. I have owned a number of cars of different makes, and currently drive a nice Peugeot 206 (updated - see below). Not sure why I am so attached to it - it breaks down frequently, despite being a new-ish car, and has cost me a lot in repiars. Anyway, I am writing about the AWFUL Peugeot dealerships, not Peugeot cars, which could be a whole separate review. I have tried several of them, each time getting fed ...
...think!) I have written to Peugeot to recall some of my experiences. They replied to say that I am in the minority for feeling like that. But having friends who also have Peugeots, there is a concensus that their service is awful beyone belief. I hate reviews based on single experiences of a company, and I hope that this review shows that I have had a consistently poor deal from these unfriendly cowboys! They really dont deserve your hard earned cash! ...

Review of Peugeot

...the same garage - Curtis Peugeot in Coleraine, Co Londonderry. My first car was a 106 Independence. I originally wanted a 206, with free insurance, but was told at that time I couldn't have the free insurance, due to be being an r driver, so I then decided that a 106 was my best bet. I hadn't really set out to get a 106 as such, it just happened. When I went down to discuss getting the car, I went down on the thurs evening, and everything was sorted ...
...it had expired! I have also been told service intervals that differ somewhat from another local Peugeot garage... All in all though, I do like this garage. The staff are friendly, and there's a good selection of cars, although they only deal with Peugeots in that branch. ...

Review of Peugeot

...read my op on my Peugeot 206 will know that there is no love lost between me and it. But one of my main reasons that I swear I will never own another one is due to my experiences at the dealerships! I get my car regularly serviced at my local Peugeot dealer in Woking, Surrey. In fact my last service was in January - just routine but I also mentioned that the car was prone to lurching intermittently and would they check it over. The minor service ...
...go down very well with Peugeot as you can imagine! I spoke to the manager of the dealership, who also wasn't interested at all and told me to speak to their Head Office in Coventry. I have contacted them and they are "looking into it" - whatever that means. I have now part exchanged my Peugeot for a Ford, as I have had enough of the problems and expense, but the thing that really riled me was the attitude of the staff at my local dealers. Keep ...

Review of Peugeot

...this year, I brought a Peugeot 306 Xrd from Credit Zone, Hambledon Road, Denmead. Alarm bells should have rang when we got there and someone else was complaining about the service they received. We eventualy settled on the above car which also cost twice as much as we had orignally planned to spend. We were told we would be able to collect the car the next day. 1 week later it was still not ready. When I finally collected the car 10 days after I ...
...completed so we had to take back the car the following week. 5 months later I am still having problems with the car, I have tried to arrange for the 'free' servicing we were promised, without success as they cannot provide a courtsey car and do not do them on Saturdays which is rather inconveiniant to anyone who works full-time. I have also just been told that the warranty we purchased for £300 does not cover the current problems with the car. I ...

Review of Peugeot

...reading the awful experience of Peugeot dealerships by a previous contributer I just had to share my own experience of my problems with the Peugeot Dealership of Evans Halshaw on Roseville Road in Leeds. I have been a customer for nearly 10 years initially due to having Company Cars that required service and then latterly with privately owned vehicles. I traded my trustly 406 in for a 407 in May 2007 and that is where all my problems started. This ...
...suffice to say that I had tremendous problems in the first three-six months of ownership ranging from false promises to not even receiving the spec of car I thought I had purchased!! Every time I rang to speak to the person who had previously dealt with me I found that they had 'left the company'. This happened at least FOUR times. I could never get anyone to own my problem. Amazingly (and a cause of deep regret) I took my car to the same garage ...

Review of Peugeot

Like lizzihop I bought a Peugeot from Ian Allen of Woking. My first impression wasn't very favourable as the car was delivered six weeks late and the pre-delivery inspection had failed to notice that there were no tools (so I could not remove a wheel) and the wheel arch linings were missing several fastenings and hanging loose (but not in a good way). My main problem, though, was with the cruise control. Having an old knee injury, I need cruise ...
...first time I tried the Peugeot c.c. it cut out after 15 minutes, with a flashing warning message. This is both annoying and potentially dangerous, as it results in sudden deceleration on motorways without warning. I reported this to Ian Allen on 20 September but after 12 weeks and six visits to the garage, they still have no idea how to repair the problem. Their initial response (having failed to take the car for a proper test drive) was that they ...

Review of Peugeot

I have now owned 2 Peugeot Cars, a Peugeot 405, and now a Peugeot 306 Sedan SR and can safely say that they are worth every penny. The Peugeot 306 SR is very similar to to 405 in many ways, mainly with the smooth handling and comfortable ride, but where the Peugeot 306 SR really excells over the older 405 model is in the body styling, the old straight edged design has been smoothed over on the 306 sedan and comes with an adequate 1.8 Litre SRInjection ...
...Peugeot electrics, the front windows and sunroof are electric and it has a rear heated window to enable easy de-misting, the 306 SR comes with an immobiliser keypad, steering protection device and Alarm with remote central locking to keep theives at bay. the car drives superbly and have often been complimented on the comfort from passangers. Overall the Peugeout 306 Sedan SR is a fantastic car and deserves anyones consideration. ...

Review of Peugeot

I have always bought peugeot cars, i am now on my 3rd. My forst car was a 106 Mardi Gras, it was second hand and to be fair i had no end of problems with it, but this was probably my own fault because i didnt have anyone check it out before i bought it. My second was a 106 quicksilver which i bought from new from the dealer, the reason i bought this car is because i absolutely loved them, they looked good and were quite quick for a 20 year old ...
...until it was 3 year old and then things started to go wrong. Although i did not live in a rough area, the car was broken in 5 times in the 3 years i had it, mainly for the stereo, all 5 times a hole was put in the door, leading me to have to claim repaires from my insurance leading to my insurance being nearly a thousand punds. Theves loved it. The standard cd player which came with the car, the built in one was pinched within months of me having ...

I have had my peugeot 308 hdi 90 for two months now,I bought it new on the 1st sept.This is my intrim review for this car. The 308 is dominated by this big grinning grill and a pair of curvy sexy headlights,to me you can tell its peugeot from its very distinct feline look.I do have to admit on looking at the rear of the car it looks similar to its predecessor the 307 and you do have to look twice to tell them apart.On the inside of the car it does ...
...gone and took it into peugeot to be told its ok.The performance of this car is fine:The engine's performance figures are a 0-62mph time of 10.1 seconds and a top speed of 129mph. Hardly rocketship performance but who cares.Average diesel usage are around 51 mph group 11 insurance.On first impressions the 308 has been massively improved, with a better fit and finish and a range of proven engines. I have bought the s entry level car and it has a good ...

Review of Peugeot

i have been a peugeot owner for over 5 years now and have to say how happy i am with the car itself. I own a peugeot 306 xsi, it has a 2 litre 16 valve engine, which is pretty much exactly the same engine as in the renault megane 2.0 16 valve sport cars. (which incidentally is not as fast on a track from personnal experience). When searching for the ideal car for me, i narrowed it down to two in the same catagory of small sporty hachbacks, the volkswagen ...
...different shapes etc since, the peugeot hasnt and has therefore stood the test of time and does not look dated whatsoever, even in todays market! I wholeheartedly recommend this car which can be bought for very reasonable money nowadays, and outperforms just about anything in its class. Thankyou for reading, hope you found this review helpful. ...

Review of Peugeot

recently i purchased a new peugeot 206xsi, after many months pondering over which car i actually wanted. When I bought the car I was told that I would be given free insurance for a year and that the car would be mine in 4-6 weeks. This sounded brilliant and I was very happy with the deal. However when the 4-6 weeks had passed without any contact from the garage (Elton Garages Rochdale), I decided to go in the garage to find out where my car was? ...
...I had bought my car Peugeot had issued an e mail to all the garages stating that the 206xsi could not be sold with free insurance. However the garage had agreed to honour my deal and had arranged alternate insurance with Tesco, after I had given them all the details needed for this. When the insurance came through I saw that the no claims bonus was wrong and I received a letter from tesco asking me for an additional £500. I contacted the garage ...
