Peugeot 206 GTi 2.0 3d (AC) (2000/W) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought new for £11,000 due to Peugeot model change in 2000, i.e. larger wheels, rear headrests etc.
Costs
To date no spend on parts etc as three year guarantee. This car likes a drop of that unleaded when you play tunes with the great engine.

On the road
Driving
Feels lumpy at slow speeds, suspension a bit harsh, but certainly handles well, always feels balanced.
Performance
Brilliant for the price, certainly makes me smile, loves country roads, slighly noisy at speed on motorways. Turn up th CD and enjoy the permanent grin.

Living with it
Reliability
Mechanically no faults. Bodywork rear seat rattle and front passenger seat now faulty for thirrd time, dealer needs to get his finger out.
Image
Looks nice in metallic red, the GTi badge helps.
Comfort
I like driving position, but then only 5' 8". Pedals are strangely positioned and can occasionally lead to you accelerating when you should be braking...rather worrying if traffic busy.

Security and Service
Security
No body has tried to steal it yet.
Service
Repeatedly taking vehicle back for seat problems. Next time it will be "get me the manager".
