2001 Peugeot 206 LX (ac) review from UK and Ireland
"Spacious economical lovely drive and sexy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is always a squeaking sound when the brakes are applied and the dealers do not know why!You basically have to turn up your stereo to drown out the sound.
I have had to replace the seat covers on the drivers side as they where beginning to bobble and fall apart.
The heater motor for the air circulation inside the vehicle had to be replaced because that just died on me.
General comments?
The car I have is a 206 1.1 L X model with air conditioning.
Generally this car is a lovely car it drives superb.
The 1.1 is good on motorways it will easily get over the 90mph mark if you want to go that fast!
They drive well in city environments and are easy to park as the steering is brilliant and accurate and they are comfortable despite what other people have said you just need to adjust the seat to which is most comfortable to you.
There is allot of space in these cars with loads of leg room for big people.
The quality of the cabin is really nice, but watch out for scuffs on the upholstery and scratches on the dash, also damage to paint work on car doors for 3 door models as they are very wide.
If I were to buy one of these cars I would go for a new/used (o-1 years old) one because you are covered by the manufacturers warranty which lasts for 3 years and for me this has saved me allot of money.
Don't be put off by the bad points of these cars they are well worth the hassle and go test drive one you will get the drive of your life!!
