General Comments:

PROS.

Looks good.

Very good MPG.

CONS.

Very unreliable; fix one thing and another would go wrong.

OVERALL.

Buy a Ford or a Japanese car; don't waste your money on unreliable Peugeots. I personally would never buy a Peugeot again; don't think I'd even have one if it was given to me.

Faults:

Electrical faults.

General Comments:

180 owners love this car. People who have test driven it hate it.

Like many have said, you learn to drive it quick.

I have had my 180 from new, not changed it, but spent on it Performance Exhaust, Chipped Ecu, Induction Kit, Full SP Kit, Momo GTR Alloys, De Badged Front Grill. Must have spent over £3000 on it.

Before it was quick when driven right. Now it is just awesome; 220bhp last time tested on rolling road. Type R, Cooper S, Clio 182, not even close.

Look at the interior of a 182 Clio; my god, I have seen Saxos with better interiors. So as my number plate says, Japanese CARS SUCK!

Faults:

Steering Wheel had to be re-aligned.

Engine judder which appeared to be a fault in the electrics.

Dip Stick end snapped in the "hole"

Con-Rod snapped which meant the whole engine had to replaced.

Numerous fluid leaks.

General Comments:

Definitely the runt of the pack of 2005 due to issues! Comfort wise the car is OK however if you are big footed then stay away as the pedals are close together.

Peugeot service (my local one anyway) were possibly the worst I have ever come across.

General Comments:

I think this car is excellent to drive and faster than the Clio 182. I drove a friend's Clio and wasn't impressed.

The only complaint I have about the 206 is the clutch; I have not had the car long, but can't seem to get used to the clutch. Anyone else had any bother, or is it just the norm? It doesn't feel as smooth an action as my Vauxhall Astra did???

Faults:

Gearbox needed replacement after 4000 miles, wipers stopped working, and again. Central locking doesn’t always work. And front suspension needed replacement. Isn’t it enough ?

General Comments:

Good looking car, after so many year still attractive, nice car to drive, good equipment, but built quality total garbage. I will never buy another Peugeot again.

Faults:

The brakes have squealed constantly since new.

The windscreen wipers packed in after 2 months on the M8 in central Glasgow. This, as you can imagine, was not much fun.

The engine started to misfire after 12 months (15000 miles). This caused the engine management light to come on and the an anti pollution fault to be displayed. This message then turned to 'catalytic converter fault'. Numerous trips to the dealer failed to completely resolve the problem. It got to the stage where I wondered if the car would start or keep going at all.

The final straw came when my exhaust fell off after 2 years (34000 miles). Again on the M8 in central Glasgow. Luckily this was covered under warranty, but 2 weeks later the warranty would have expired. The catalytic converter was shot (surprise!!) The parts alone would have cost over £800.

I have now sold this car as I knew it was going to cost me a lot of money sooner or later now that the warranty has run out.

General Comments:

This was a fun car to drive when everything worked, but that was a rare occurrence.

I loved driving in the good weather with the roof down. (One of the few things that worked every time)

I hated being treated like a leper at the garage because the car was an import.

This was the second Peugeot I have owned and both have been very unreliable. (My other one was a 1995 306XLDT)
