Peugeot 206 GTi (99-06) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1999 In the good old days, the Pug 205 GTi was the daddy of the hot-hatches and expectations have been high for its successor, the sharply-styled 206. It has yet to live up to the 205’s reputation. The standard GTi doesn’t have the performance to shine and while the GTi 180 partly addresses that criticism it's still out-gunned by many rivals. Top dog it may not be, but it still offers plenty of performance for the price. 3.5 out of 5 Other Peugeot reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4 out of 5 Safety The French know how to make their cars safe – 206 gets six airbags and a good crash safety rating but no traction control. Central locking and an alarm/immobiliser keep it on your drive.

Other 206s can suffer from indicator stalk problems and check electric door mirrors (where fitted,) too.
