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...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.1

Peugeot Dealership Leeds

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too many to describe

...After 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 site is not big enough to record ALL my grievances 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...

peugeot 306 xsi

Advantages: great looks, performance, reliability and value for money
Disadvantages: cheap, looking interior

...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 golf gti and the peugeot 306 xsi, (roughly the same insurance, price etc etc...). Obviously in the end i decided upon the peugeot, admittedly it was based on looks alone! this is a fantastic looking car as im sure anyone would agree, well after the 1997 facelift anyway, but when you start to drive the car itself you will be glad you bought one. great ride comfort in seats that hold you...

Review of Peugeot

My Peugeot 205 GT

Advantages: Retro, Vintage, easy to drive
Disadvantages: Choke

...I am a new driver of only 1 and 1/2 months, 17 years old. I passed my test on the first attempt, which surprised the hell out of me. Fortunately, my dad had already bought me a car for my birthday about 3 months before. This car was my very own Peugeot 205 GT (G reg). It's a sort of slivery blue, 5 door. I have to say that I whole heartedly love this car, it is actually my favourite posession, so I thought I would write a review to reflect how it does from a first car point of view. Firstly, safety: I have to admit that the fact that it doesn't have any airbags does bother me. I also get worried about the alarm, as it doesnt have one, but that could easily be fixed by getting one fitted. Because I am a woman, I do worry that I'll forget to lock one of the doors, and someone could get in ( all those women safety talks seem to...

Peugeot 207 - taking you for a pleasurable drive!

Advantages: Smooth and safe ride, pleasurable to drive, good economy
Disadvantages: None really - see review for minor "niggles"

...Well, another return for SarahLouise! I've not written anything for Ciao since 14th March 2007 - I can't believe it has been so long! I'm truly shocked. A lot has happened since then in the life of Sarah I can tell you - not least of all being I'm now a mummy!! But, onwards to the review.... First things first, this review is NOT technically or the "m:play" model. But as Ciao don't actually have a "Peugeot 207 1.4" section without this little addition (basically just a socket for MP3 players), I didn't want to wait weeks and weeks for the section to be added. I couldn't put off my desire to get back into review writing on hold any longer! So, this review will be for the Peugeot 1.4. My particular model is the "S" model and has air conditioning. As usual, the car comes with a variety of model options, "S" being...

Review of Peugeot 207 1.4 m:play Hatchback

Funky Little Peugeot

Advantages: Economical, comfortable, long service intervals
Disadvantages: None to report yet

...After many happy years with the Renault Megane coupe (see previous op!) it was time to trade in and get something a bit newer. After looking at many, many 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 buying a Jaguar of course, and finding one in as good a condition as ours is even trickier. We did play off the local car supermarket with the Peugeot main dealer to get a better trade-in price on the Megane, and would strongly...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

My first car: A Peugeot 309.

Advantages: Reliable, Spacious, easy to drive, cheap.
Disadvantages: Not a looker, becoming a rarity in the UK.

...Yes you did read the title right... A Peugeot 309 as a FIRST car. Crazy you might think. But if your thinking of buying one at the moment then I'll gladly tell you what you can expect from one of these. ******MY CAR****** I've not long turned old enough to drive so I've been very itching to get my first car. And the first day I went car hunting with my Dad we found one. A 1993 K reg (Very late model) Peugeot 309 1.9D Zest 5DR. She was actually sat at the back of a Seat/Kia dealership. And she had only been there a day and was being considered to be auctioned off. She'd only had 1 owner from new, who was an elderly gentleman, it was a local car and she only had 83K on the clock. It had no marks on her, no rust, immaculate interior, spotless engine. We really were at the right place at the right time. We offered £700, some may think...

Review of Peugeot 309 GRD

I love my peugeot but...

Advantages: Excellent Customer Service at Peugeot Dealers
Disadvantages: Squeaky clutch pedals

...I started driving peugeots about 5 years ago when as a student at university I had to find a car that was cheap to buy and economical to run. My previous car, a VW polo, nearly as old as I was at the time (19) had just given up on life and I decided to 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 or two that you make when you are 19 and a bit to enthusiastic about changing the tape in the stereo and not looking at the road. In...

Review of Peugeot

Peugeot 407 SW Hi-Line 2.0 HDi

Advantages: Large spacious comfortable easy drive
Disadvantages: Limited turning circle

...After having two Renaults for many years, I changed to a Peugeot for the first time ever. After an initial period of discomfort, until I managed to get the best driving position, I have found the car most comfortable. The dashboard is just right, with not too much information and easily readable dials. The computer console at first is confusing, but after running through with the handbook, it is quite logical and easy to use. I would not (like one of the other reviewers) even try to use the basic settings whilst driving. The controls are all to hand, and, once familiar with the stalks and buttons, the controls are logical and easy to use. The space in the car is excellent, much roomier than the Laguna. The driver and passengers feel protected in the cabin with the high sides. The boot is OK, the slope at the top could cause some...
