The car looks great, is cheap to insure and cheap to tax at £140 a year. General Comments: Heavy, responsive, show off and cool to drive, but consumes like hell; a full tank gets me about 350km max. We thought that the steering felt a fraction too heavy as well, and it could well be that the low profile tyres rob the driver of that vital feel. Cheap for that year and kms with everything automatic windows, stearing, fog lights front and rear, auto wipers front and rear, cd changer, auto mirrors, sports mode etc. If you own a manual one and maintain it well they are very dependable motors. Once on the move, though, he found the car a delight.
The car's lines struck him as sharp and friendly, like an agile canine ready to do his every bidding. And that's it I love this little car. Despite the excellent handling, ride comfort remained good, even on rough Australian roads. He found that the interior was roomy in the front, with ample leg and headroom. Mostly local driving, occasional 200 mile return run, and one faultless 3000 mile trip. This car has put the issues such as sophistication, expensiveness into a totally different perspective for me. This was all that I changed on it since I got it verry good car for it's age and considering that I live into a country with not so great roads It's sturdy enough.
The 206 is fuel efficient and stylish. My only gripe is that it lacks a bit of character. On the road it had a comfortable ride and it handled with aplomb. One has to buy a new frame with welded bolts in place and transfer the padding cover and airbag. About the running cost it's almost like it's running on air.
Steering was power assisted rack and pinion, while brakes were disc front and rear with the assistance of anti-skid control and electronic brake force distribution to ensure optimum brake effort where it was most needed. Year of manufacture 2004 First year of ownership 2010 Most recent year of ownership 2010 Engine and transmission 2. The handling is the cars strong point. The company is represented in some country areas, not just in the major metropolitan zones. Unfortunately it's not much of a people mover though. The baby Peugeot 206 2004 gets a fresh style with sweeping angles and large and bold curves. Beauty and sweet temperament came at a price, he concluded.
My dad has one, had lots of problems regarding electrics, 3 new indicator stalks indicators coming on themselves, very dangerous! The seats are great, very comfy, but the ride itself is quite firm. If you can find an independent mechanic who has a love of peugeots to service your car you will never look back. They all say they can but after a while it re-occurs. Engine was a little on the slow side, but could achieve 95mph, downhill with a good wind behind you! It's been plain sailing since! I really don't like this car, but had no choice as I needed a car that was cheap to fix and fairly cheap to run and tax. The 206 is a good car, but the hotted ones aren't anything to remember. Very nice colour selection and paint quality though. The rear seats are a complete waste of time and the limited space in the rear could have been used for something more useful imho.
Love the electric everything but wonder how long the keyless battery will last. Far more common is a 1. The styling of the baby Peugeot broke new ground, with big bold curves and sweeping angles. The engine settled to a silent idle, but revving it produced a satisfying growl absent from most small inline-4s. He called his car the Red Pug. See above review, door indicator faulty, fuel gauge faulty, directional indicator faulty, etc. But in 2003, they are replaced by stronger units, so later Peugeot 206s get no problem with this.
She is fitted with the desirable 2. So check the central locking carefully before drive home the Peugeot 206. Another point to take on board, Peugeot state the 206 has in excess of 30,000 components and they cannot guarantee each part 100 per cent. The Peugeot 206 is great for any learner. Bought a 4 year old one with 22000 K's on the clock.
The interior is too noisy especially on a rough tarmac. Every other aspect was great, nippy, economical, great round the corner, spacious and fun to drive. Bucket loads of features for your money. Towed the car, the ignition and the brain activities were dead, didn't understand either, but had to pay. So, as we have kept it well serviced e. Battery issues were soon to follow, if left for more then 3 days the battery would completely discharge and getting the car running again proved timely and problematic. So yes, it goes fast, but with not without a lot of fuss and noise.
Brakes are excellent - very responsive. Sorry, it is not any help, but I feel the more folk shout about problems, maybe Peugeot will do something about it. The most awful thing in the Peugeot 206 2004 lies in the driving position. The car is from 2004 but I have bought it 3 years ago. The interior looked great and the car came with generous levels of standard kit, while the agile handling Peugeot was famed for remained. Next summer I will change the wheels on the car, which I have already, complete with summer tires, and perhaps have a chip tuning done on the car. You can easily exceed the 8.
The ignition went off one day, all of a sudden. Check for the dust behind the wheels as a smart seller will have cleaned the obviously visible areas at the front. No Review Date: 19th June, 2012 Faults: The electronic system always gave the something is wrong signal. This is dangerous and someone could be killed. There are plenty to choose from, but if you do take the plunge, make sure you're not buying a liability. He wanted a car that was just right for city driving, that didn't eat up too much fuel or the big part of his monthly salary. The 206 came from a time when carmakers had not yet begun building upwards to increase apparent space.
