Peugeot 206 Coupe Cabriolet (2001 - 2007) 2.0 SE 2d (2001/Y) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I am a Yummy Mummy

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They wish they had one too, in fact my sister in law has since bought one too (Yes it is a girls' car)

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes, but I'd be holding my breath in case of an expensive roof problem ... or anything else that might crop up unexpectedly.

What are you likely to buy next?

307cc or Megane cc. Love the 206cc but need something with proper back seats for a family now.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£0

When did you buy the car?

January 2004

Did you get a good deal and why?

No because we were in a hurry to buy

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

What was the dealer like?

Keen - had him running as we were out to buy THAT DAY!!!!! LOL

What's it like to drive?

I love it. Fast, looks great. Bit of a hard bumpy ride though, and the steering is pretty heavy.

What's it like to park?

Easy. Short car and large windows are in its favour.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Niggly faults - passenger door sometimes refuses to close and won't lock. One small leak from roof which was fixed straightaway by dealer. I made sure I didn't let it develop into a big problem by nipping in bud. More importantly, the exhaust went at 30,000 miles. Cut a long story short, it needs the cat replaced at the same time and the cost is £900!!! This is apparently a common problem, it has a weakness that causes a joint to break, meaning whole system needs doing, not just the usual back box. In the end I had a custom exhaust built by a performance exhaust specialist and got away with £300.

What's most practical about your car?

Leather seats, large boot

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Roof! Especially fun to operate at traffic lights in built-up areas
