2004 Peugeot 206 GTi HDI 110 review from UK and Ireland
"Good all-round warm hatch"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems so far (only owned car for one month).
General comments?
Good points: -
Running costs are fantastic for a sporty hatch. According to the trip computer I am getting over 55 miles per gallon, and insurance and car tax are low.
Ride and handling are excellent, and I have had no problem getting a decent driving position.
Interior and exterior are smart and sporty, without being over the top.
Quality seems okay.
Bad points: -
The gear change can be awkward. I am finding it especially difficult changing down from 4th to 2nd. I am still messing this up even after a month of driving.
You do miss out on the instant throttle response and engine note of a petrol hot hatch. I had expected to be compensated with big mid-range punch, but to be honest this car is not quite as quick as I expected it to be.
