Peugeot 206 (1998 - 2009) 1.4 S 3d (AC) (2005/05) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

i have style.. ha. no i don't know.

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

they love the car.

Would you buy this car again and why?

i would if they were still making them. i wouldn't have had this one if it had more miles on the clock. i got a very good deal. the car is lovely. i hope to keep it for many years.

What are you likely to buy next?

i have no idea.. ha.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,700

When did you buy the car?

November 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

I did, as i said above. my aunt was offered only £4700 from the dealer, and the car had only done 1600 miles! they were trying to sell it for £1500 more than that, but let me have it for the same price as the dealer offered.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I was looking for a new car to replace my ford ka, and i'd always liked the look of the 206's. it was also handy ( well, not in a nice way i guess) that my godmothers father had just passed away and they wanted to get rid of his 206.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

it's gorgeous to drive. it's so easy on the steering, yet hard enough so you still feel like you have to drive it. the gear change is perfect, and the brakes are so powerful. acceleration is fast, yet it doesn't feel like you are pushing the car to perform. it's very good on petrol too. it's around £40 for a full tank, and that will do you over 300 miles, and that's only on city driving.

What's it like to park?

lovely! it's not a huge car, so it can fit into small spaces.

Have you had any problems with the car?

i've only had the car 2 weeks, so nothing yet, and hopefully nothing to come. if anything does happen (touch wood it won't) then i shall post it here!

What's most practical about your car?

it's so nippy. it drives great round the city centre, it's tiny, so it's good for parking, yet inside it feels huge.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

i like how it tells you the temperature, and if it's below say, 3 degrees, it warns you about ice! i also like the locking button that is on the dash. it's much easier than trying to bend round to push the button down on the door. i also like the music stalk, which enables you to change stuff on your cd player, such as volume and track.
