Faults:

The first thing that went wrong was the dealer. They acted very rude to me and almost made me regret I bought the car from them. The user's manual was in French and they didn't care about replacing it with at least an English version.

During the one year period I had it, there were very few problems with the car. One of them was the electronic oil indicator: it would show "empty" at the slightest slope.

The engine was pretty noisy and a little slow in the first 2 gears, but it was a plain diesel, not a turbo-diesel so that should explain it.

Another issue which was quite unpleasant was the fact the air conditioning system would slow the car a lot. I even had to turn it off when I wanted to pass by a car on a highway. It was quite tricky, but I got used to it.

General Comments:

Overall, it was the car of my dreams. It was very stylish and really caught your eye.

The interior design was great and very functional. It really made me feel I was on a space ship. Everybody was surprised when getting in the car and seeing how spacious and comfortable it was.

Even though it had a plain diesel engine (only 70 horse power), it was nervous and eager to go, especially in the 3rd and 4th gear.

Peugeot 206 "sticks" to the road at high speeds and gives you a good sense of reliability and power.

Faults:

My first doubts about the car emerged when the clutch broke almost straight away and had to be replaced. There is also an awful lot of rattling going on inside the console (unfixable).

More worryingly, the car has been broken into by bending the top of the passenger door back (bare handed) reaching in and unlocking the door. This would have taken less than a couple of minutes. The Police and car body shop tell me this is a very common way of breaking into 206 and that they see this "all the time". The garage demonstrated the ease in which this can happen by simply bending the door roughly back into shape by hand. Peugeot on the other hand have no knowledge of this and refuse to acknowledge the manufacturing fault.

I would certainly not recommend anyone to buy this make of car. I would certainly not have considered it had I known of this fault.

Faults:

The only thing that we have had a problem with is the roof. The car has been into the garage 9 times in less that 4 Months, sometimes for nearly a week at a time.

Apparently numerous parts have been changed and the latest part to be changed was the controller and surprise, surprise roof worked for one day. Peugeot UK intend to do nothing about this and just keep saying their only responsibility is with fixing the car which they can obviously not do.

Dealer is trying his best, but cannot come up with fix. Have requested car be changed and dealer says speak with Peugeot, and guess what Peugeot say speak to the dealer.

General Comments:

An expensive standard 206 car.

Peugeot obviously do not care about the satisfaction of there customers.
