2005 Peugeot 206 Zest 3 review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent car, but not for those with long legs and friends - Its one of the other!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel rollers on passenger seat broke
- Manufacturer rectified this problem free of charge at the 6000 mile free service.
Random beeping occasionally when starting ignition. Sounds like warning beeps, but no warning lights on.
- Manufacturer fixing this this coming Wednesday, free of charge as pointed out during 6000 mile service.
- Windscreen mysteriously cracked at around 4000 miles. Queried the garage if it could have been installed too tight, but they denied it (could have lied though)
General comments?
Great car. Fast, fuel efficient (i get around 500 miles per tank)
Not much room if you've got long legs, as you've gotta crack the seat all the way back, which is hell for my mates behind me.
Boot space is small too.
But, I still love the car, fast as heck, handles great, holds together really well. and get the zest3 model with sports bumpers, grills, and seats etc, for that sportier & racier look, without the price of the sports edition!
