Peugeot 206 Hatch 1998

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    1 out of 5 1.0

    I have only had my car a little of a year and the deprication in its value has been terrible.

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    An all-round good drive. The pedals and the wide gearbox do take some getting used to though!

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    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

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Generally very good, but recently have been bothered by problems with the Engine Management System.

    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

    5 out of 5 5.0

    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

    4 out of 5 4.0

    I've never had any problems.

    Service

    2 out of 5 2.0

    I try and avoid Peugeot dealership garages like the plague - they are expensive and unhelpful.

    Like most Peugeots, pretty reliable.
