1999 Peugeot 206 GTi review from UK and Ireland
"Not the fun it should be!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Suspension collapsed OSF.
Stereo completely packed up 2 months after the end of the warranty.
Various electrical glitches: horn jammed on, doors opening by themselves, stereo won't come on, aircon starting by itself.
General comments?
Very poor driving position, steering wheel too far away, footwell very cramped, so that I hit brake/clutch at the same time.
Handling quite good, engine not bad, fuel so-so at 30-36mpg.
I wish I had kept the Saxo VTS - more comfortable, no problems, faster ,handles better, just more fun!
