Peugeot 206 1.4 LX 3d (AC) (1999/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I have only had my car a little of a year and the deprication in its value has been terrible.
Costs
Quite economical on petrol, but the tank does seem bigger than the other cars in a similar class, so filling up is a little more pricey.

On the road
Driving
An all-round good drive. The pedals and the wide gearbox do take some getting used to though!
Performance
Good, but can struggle a little when faster accelaration is required (overtaking etc). Far better than the 1.1 model though, which is terrible.

Living with it
Reliability
Generally very good, but recently have been bothered by problems with the Engine Management System.
Image
I love the look of this car and that is what initally attracted me to it - it's a little bit quirky inside and out without being weird - unfortunatly they are very common now.
Comfort
I am one of the few people who find the driving position very comfy, but I am tall and I find that position suits me fine whereas I find other smaller cars like Saxos unbearable to drive. A good amount of room in the back for a 3 door.

Security and Service
Security
I've never had any problems.
Service
I try and avoid Peugeot dealership garages like the plague - they are expensive and unhelpful.
