Summary
What does this car say about you?
Fun and outgoing
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
they all like the looks and features of the car.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, too many people have reported similar problems with thier 206 exhausts. Mine was costly to repair and my main dealer seemed reluctant to help me. Too many bad experiences have made me fall out of love with this car.
What are you likely to buy next?
No idea, something that has less running costs (road tax is £220 per yr, insurance not bad, fuel consumption terrible, a full tank lasts 240 miles)

Franchise
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£6,995
When did you buy the car?
May 2007
Did you get a good deal and why?
Yes, i travelled to get it and researched what it was worth and got it over £1000 under average valuations plus it had low mileage.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Not really, it was a treat to myself for getting a new job!
What was the dealer like?
Nice enough, they sold alot of performance cars and seemed to want it off their forecourt!

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Nice to drive, engine feels strong when accelerating. stiff sporty suspension means pretty good handling with the low profile tyres. comfortable with the roof off as well even on motorways.
What's it like to park?
Easy as long as you take your time when reverse parking, it has a big boot and you have more blind spots that usual due to the support struts when the roof is on.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Unfortunately yes, exhaust problems. anti pollution engine management fault meant that i had to pay for a whole new front exhaust section (the 2.0l only comes in 2 sections, the cat section and the back box) this was a main dealer repair and cost over £600.
What's most practical about your car?
Massive boot space and very reasonalbe with the roof off as well.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto wipers and lights, trip computer and stereo control stalk on stearing wheel. Impressed as mine is only an 02 reg
