Peugeot 206 1.6 XSi 3d (AC) (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Bought car second hand, but worth every penny so far. Has a good depreciate rate as well and with the sporty kit the car has, it will be a keen car when/if I sell the car in the future
Costs
Pretty good on the fuel. Problem I found is that if the fuel gauge is on the red and then fill up the tank, the gauge wont show a full tank. Minor problem. I can get over 400 miles from full tank, mixed driving.

On the road
Driving
Great to drive. Still as exciting to drive as it was when I bought the car. Only downside is that the foot peddles are too close together.
Performance
1.6i 16v is quick. Once the car gets moving, it really does shift. Holds to the road very well. Great for round town use and motorway driving.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good. Needed a new head gasket, but the garage I bought the car sorted that out. No problems so far.
Image
Sexy looking car. Alloys, Spoiler, Leather Seats, All electric inside. This car turns heads and it does this very often. Yet also practical for everyday use.
Comfort
I've got leather seats. Holds you in the seat and are very comfortable. Air Con is a must in the summer as seats gets hot. Peddles are a little to close. Everything is to hand and glove box is fairly big. Lots of room in the back for a small car.

Security and Service
Security
Internal sensors are too sensitive. I'm getting a alarm expert to sort them out. But Remote Alarm and Immobilizer, what more do you want?
Service
Pretty good. Not a Peugeot dealer, but made sure the car was up to scratch for me. Did take the car to a Peugeot dealer for a minor electric problem, but where totally useless and a waste of 2 hours. Another garage sorted the problem in 15 minutes.
