Economy
Value
Pretty expensive when you check what else goes for this money.
Costs
Haven't had to pay anything yet, but the economy is OK.

On the road
Driving
It's not bad actually, but watch that lift off oversteer - probably not what the average 206 driver will be expecting. Smooth, quiet and comfortable.
Performance
It's good for a diesel and is torquey, but runs out of puff. Needs 20 more bhp at least - an intercooler maybe.
-
Living with it
Reliability
Not too chuffed with this. After only 4000 miles, there are many creeks and rattles and the car doesn't always start like it should - don't, whatever you do, order the optional sunroof - designed to creek.
Image
It looks great - especially in black. It's a bit feminine I suppose and needs the wheel arches filling a bit.
Comfort
Very comfortable up front, but I hope your chums are short if they're going in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm, immobiliser etc - doesn't stop the youth of today vandalising it, though.
Service
Free insurance was rubbish when it mattered. The dealer ordered the wrong car for me and like any other dealer, they treat you like an idiot.
