1999 Peugeot 206 GLX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The stereo has been problematic. Every few weeks it requests the code to be entered when I start-up. I am told by the dealer that it's a problem with the standard-fit Blaupunkt unit, there isn't a fix for it either. There was an intermittent problem with the engine idle speed when the air-con was on, the dealer fitted a new control unit under warranty which seems to have done the job.
General comments?
After 6 months of ownership I still love the car. I chose the GLX over the XS for the spec and CD player which was definitely the right decision. My brother drives a 1.4 which feels lifeless when compared to the 1.6.
Two things need to be improved - the driving position, seats are tricky to get right and the engine is a bit on the gruff side.
