Peugeot 206 (1998 - 2009) 1.1 LX 3d (AC) (2003/53) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I think... A young driver with a good taste in budget cars.

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

Since its an upgrade from a basic model Saxo, they're all pretty impressed with it and approve.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I would, under circumstances where money is tight otherwise I doubt it. There are simply too many models that offer more than the 206 does. So I think its a one time deal.

What are you likely to buy next?

Since I'm still young and growing as a driver, I think another hatchback would be in order. Maybe a low litre Focus.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£410

When did you buy the car?

March 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

Absolutely, I owned a Saxo previously (my first car) and then a friend provided me with the opportunity to buy his 206 cheap.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Someone close to me was selling the car on and I took advantage of the opportunity.

What was the dealer like?

Friendly..

What's it like to drive?

Fun. It isn't a car I recommend for practicality but more for younger people seeking a pleasant driving experience. The driving position does take some fiddling to get comfortable but it isn't impossible.

What's it like to park?

Easy since its a supermini with sensitive PAS, which also makes the task of marking quite swift.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No, everything seems solid.

What's most practical about your car?

It's size, it is very easy to drive and the power steering makes city driving a joy.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Auto lights/wipers. It might seem ridiculous to some but since my last car was very basic, watching the lights and wipers react automatically is pretty cool.
