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...

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...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

Peugeot 206 Sport 1.4 55Reg

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

...Sport in looks. If you want a fast car (and by that I mean affordable and not cars such as the Ferraris!) then do not go for the Sport - well not the 1.4 version anyway, definitely go for a bigger engine. However, overall, I am really unhappy about the car. I have had numerous faults already and I've only had it for eight months. First lets talk about my buying experience. I needed a car desparately as I travel to the next town for work and car rental and train tickets were getting expensive. The 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...

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...

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...

The Super Stylish Peugeot 206

Advantages: super stylish, nippy
Disadvantages: interior

...Hey Im Kate and this is my first review. I have selected my Peugeot 206 for this review so sit back and enjoy the ride. Looks The Peugeot 206 is the ultimate car for looks its small and slim with lots of lines and curves considering this car has been out for a while it still looks very contemporary and modern and for once this is a car for girls and boys :) Drive Perhaps the most important thing about a car is the way it drives, the engine is a modest 1.6 but still packs a serious punch and you wont have any trouble being the first one away from the lights. The gearbox is for the most sturdy but getting into second in the cold is always a challenge, the handling I find is rather forgiving and the ride is as smooth as a luxury mercedes. Epuipment The car is quite sparsely equipped as standard with only 2 front electric...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.6

Peugeot 206cc 2.0

Advantages: Nice car, delight to drive, fun
Disadvantages: boot mesh has to be engaged

...My first surprise was a dealer let a 17 year old that passed his test 2 weeks ago, drive an 05 plate 2.0 litre Peugeot 206cc. Given I look older, and he didn't check the date of birth on my license, but I am glad as it really was a delight to drive. Room in the back is hugely limited, although for short journeys it would be acceptable, especially considering the type of car. The 2.0litre engine provides a nice amount of power and its a nice nippy car, comfortably leather seats, the roof reclines easily (although I will admit this is the first convertible I have ever been in so it may have been easy or hard compared to others). The one disappointment with the car with regards to the roof, is, in the boot there is a wire mesh which needs to be pulled across the boot (obviously to protect luggage) but if this is not pulled across...

Review of Peugeot 206 CC 2.0

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...

The Car With The Evil Eyes...

Advantages: Good looks, good fuel consumption, comfortable to drive
Disadvantages: Stereo provided with the car isn't great

...If you're expecting a review contianing a long list of technical specifications and motoring jargon that sounds like it's written by an engineering expert then you're in the wrong place... This 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, with a stream-lined shape. One of the most recognisable 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...
