2000 Peugeot 206 LX 1.1

Summary:

Great car!

Faults:

Nothing major.

By the time I had it, the front passenger seat was unable to hold straight. Had to replace the seat frame.

Replaced A/C gas, central locking mechanism from the passenger side was gone, and I replaced it.

Sunroof deflector was not lowering when closed, as the springs were hardened, and couldn't replace them only, as the sunroof comes as a kit, and it is costly.

The lacquer paint from the roof was starting to peel, but that is because due to the direct sun we encounter during the summer.

General Comments:

I recommend this car for safety, reliability, comfort and economy! You'll find parts from around the corner!

The cabin is great and roomy, although it's a small hatchback!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

2002 Peugeot 206 1.4 HDi

Summary:

I can't believe it's not petrol

Faults:

Nothing so far.

General Comments:

Extremely comfortable car.

Good acceleration, especially considering it's a diesel.

Fuel economy is far better than I could have expected. I spend about a quarter of what I used to spend with my previous car.

Handles corners very well.

Deceleration through engine brakes is disgustingly efficient. 80 miles an hour, down to 35 in a space of about 30 meters.

Driving in Malta I haven't had a chance to take it to the top speed, but at 160 km/h I'm sure I'm close.
