Peugeot 206cc

Advantages: nippy and a convertalbe
Disadvantages: expensive parts and labour

...i'm not going to give the Specs you can get them of a website, this is what i think of the car. I brought a peugoet 206cc last year for my girlfriend,so far its not been to bad to us The 1.6 has some kick behind. i got 120mph out it with the roof up. the peugeot has a hard ride to it, the roof works well folding back in about 45 second, streering is quite responsive. The rear seat are a waste of time unless your a child under 7, have had 5 adults in the car on the way home from casino but it is one of the most painful things to do in life. The boot space is good with the roof up and there is some with the roof down. Get a warranty its a must, parts for it are expensive, the roof hydrulic pump went on ours and would have cost us £3K to replace...

Review of Peugeot 206 CC 1.6

Peugeot 206CC

Advantages: Affordable convertible with a metal, auto roof
Disadvantages: Unreliable

...I have had the exact experience in Perth, Western Australia. I purchased a 206cc 2L in Dec 05 and it has been towed back to the dealer 3 times, the most recent being yesterday (11 Sep 2008). The 3 faults on the display are "Catalytic converter fault, ESP/ASR Not Functioning/Anti Pollution Fault and the engine and ESP indicator symbols are lit on the dash. The warranty ends in 3 months and the dealer has given me assurances every time that it has been fixed, only to fail again 6 months or so later. This time they replaced the battery and expect me to beleive that it's going to be ok. Ha! Do a search on the internet, there are countless threads relating to this exact same problem. What will it take to prompt Peugeot into acknowledging there is a real problem? I paid $45,000 AUD for a new, reliable car and all I've had is problems. It...

PEUGEOT 206 1.4 - The Dark Secrets...

Advantages: Good-looking, good flexibility of back seats, user friendly dashboard.
Disadvantages: Safety is negotiable - brakes skid, 1st gear is weak

...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 if you like. I bought mine in June '04 from a Warwick Wright Dealership in London, with only 12.1 miles on the clock. New enough, so I was happy, as every car has test miles. Later on I would make my assumptions that maybe the Stig from Top Gear did my road test for me. The whole 'Fever' thing was promotional, just meant they beefed it up a little with fog lights, custom interior...

Peugeot 206 Sport 1.4 55Reg

Advantages: Stylish looks, stylish interior, nice alloys
Disadvantages: Instrument panel a bit too plastic

...I was forced into a purchase of another car as I had wrote off my previous one (Peugeot 106). As I had liked my old car I decided to get another Peugeot. Originally, I had wanted a second hand 307 but was lured by the free insurance and looks of the new 206 Sport. I really like the look of the 206 Sport. The interior is very nice also, with the red and black trim. The one damper though, is the istrument panel with the stereo and air conditioning controls. It just looks out of place against the rest of the interior. It's as if they did a great job with the rest of the car and then suddenly they only had half an hour left to design the instrument panel! It's also pretty cramped inside (I have the three door model) and I'm a short person. It is especially the case for the rear passengers where leg room is minimal. But as I am fairly...

Peugeot 206 Look (AC) 3DR

Advantages: Nice looking Car - very nippy!
Disadvantages: Awful, awful, awful - would never buy again!

...I wanted a 206 after having two Peugeot 205s which were reliable and fantastic little runners - I thought the 206 would be the perfect upgrade. I choose the Look - a special edition which gave extra features - Air Conditioning, metallic paint, CD player, dual airbags plus more. I also had ABS added on as an extra - which was a must for safety. It is a lovely looking car and when working is a fantastic and nippy drive - I loved it - until things went wrong! Day one - the indicator unit broke - apparently a common fault. First month - leak in passengers footwell - more like a flood - again a common fault. Leak in passengers foot well and under back seats - windscreen resealed. Intermittent electrical faults - hard to prove - but the believed me eventually - faulty interior lights and headlights not turning on/off. Coil...

The Peugeot 206 Look... Looks great!

Advantages: Nice looking, good on fuel
Disadvantages: front seats break easy, doesn't like car washes!

...Well, i am now approaching the end of my first year with my rather wonderful Peugeot 206 and i think i have definately found not only the drive of my life, but the love of my life! I went to my local dealer, being John Pease Peugeot in Braintree in Essex with my heart set on a 206, but it had to have air conditioning and free insurance. After speaking to a extremley helpful and friendly salesman and going for a test drive, i decided on the Look model in metallic agean blue. Not only did i get 2 years free insurance and free metallic paint, the dealer threw in as a bonus free alloy wheels and window tinting, so i was well impressed! So i got a great looking brand new car for only just over £8000. I only had to wait 2 weeks for my car, and was kept well informed by the dealership of everything, right down to the numberplate details...

Problems with peugeot 206 gti

Advantages: superb car you feel safe
Disadvantages: see my bad points

...ive owned a peugeot 206 gti Sp for 9 months on a t registration Good points Super engine, pulls very strongly from low revs with a noticeable boost above 4000 rpm, very strong but smooth acceleration right up to redline. Overtaking is no problem in any gear, changing down is not required unless showing off. Throttle response is instant both on and off. Around town the engine pulls very smoothly, and its all to easy to find yourself breaking the local speed limits. The gearbox has well spaced ratio's. Although fifth is a little to tall for town work, it is a very usable gear on the open road and not just an overdrive. The action of the gear stick is not the smoothest I have used, and I personally like a heavier spring feel through the gate, but the positive notch into position is handy when trying hard so you don't make a fool...

Pete the Peugeot

Advantages: Looks, comfort, price
Disadvantages: None in particular

...~~**~~ Peugeot 206 S 1.1. 3DR~~**~~ First of all let me explain something - I've not got a clue about cars and the lingo that is unfortunately synonymous with them, however, I do feel I'm qualified enough to talk about comfort, driveabilityness and whether the free mats were worth arguing for. In the beginning I had a mini (a real mini) that was my pride and joy. A hand-me-down from granny who unfortunately decided to purchase it unbelievably in diarrhoea colour hence it was known as the Poomobile and the whole of the county recognised her - it was great. Regrettably, her floor fell through and she went to the great scrapheap in the sky. After a period of mourning, I had a number of small cars after that - fiesta (fell apart), 106 (brother drove it into a tree), yaris (god I hated that car) and another mini that was the death...

PEUGEOT 206 - OWNERS VIEW

Advantages: VALUE FOR MONEY, EXCELLENT LEVEL OF TRIM, ENGINE SIZE NOT DISPLAYED TO DETER THIEVES, SPACIOUS INTERIOR, RAIN SENSITIVE WINDOWS, MULTI CHANGER CD, SPORTY LOOKING BUT AMPLE ROOM IN THE REAR
Disadvantages: THE BOOT COULD BE MORE SPACIOUS

...I MUST ADMIT THAT I HAD SET MY HEART ON A VW GOLF AND HAD SPENT TIME LOOKING FOR A GOLF WITH THE SPECIFICATION I DESIRED. MY SEARCH WAS FRUITLESS AS TO ACQUIRE A GOLF WITH THE CORRECT SPECIFICATION (ELECTRIC WINDOWS/ DOORS/ FOG LAMPS/ GOOD STANDARD OF TRIM ETC) MY BUDGET WAS BLOWN. IN ADDITION THE INTERIORS OF GOLFS ARE NOT THAT SMART AND I WAS DISSAPOINTED. I WAS DISHEARTENED UNTIL A FRIEND 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...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

My Peugeot!

Advantages: Great Looking, Agile, Fun.
Disadvantages: Diesel, Horrible seating position!

...frequently goes off when letting people in on your side, which can be annoying at times, especially at night or when trying to make a quiet exit! *Interior and seating* Peugeot are not known for their brilliant interiors, and as you would expect, this is not any different, the seating is pretty average until you go to use it. The way the seats are positioned is ridiculous, and getting the drivers seat in the correct position for you can be a chore at times, especially if you share the car like I do. The method of moving the seat forward to let people into the back seat of the 3 door version is very awkward nd fragile, as we have discovered many times previously, when it has broken or ceased to function correctly. Other than this it is pretty average inside for a car of its type, the back seats fold down quite well, ad you get the dashboard...
