Peugeot 206 1.4 LX 5d (SR) (2002/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
I bought this car on behalf of my wife through the trade and it's fair to say I nicked it. Bloody good job when you consider what nasty little car it is.
Costs
Hasn't cost a penny. Is quite economical to run.

On the road
Driving
Horrid little car to drive. Handling at best vague, at worst damn right dangerous.
Performance
Hahaha what performance!? More go in a sewing machine. My wife's hair dryer is more powerful than this car, at high speed sounds like the world is about to end.

Living with it
Reliability
Never broken down... yet... give it time.
Image
Girlie, Girlie, Girlie. I have never seen a car aimed so much at females since the MX-5!
Comfort
The driving position is dreadful, the pedals are ridiculously close together, can only assume the French all have small feet!

Security and Service
Security
Standard immobiliser/alarm seems to work... which is something I suppose, but then again if you tried to steal it you wouldn't be able to get away quickly enough!
Service
Two safety recalls. Indicators have packed up 3 times now, which is good. Local dealer closed recently (no surprise if they were selling crap like this!) so now my wife has to travel about 15 miles to the nearest Peugeot garage.
