1999 Peugeot 206 XS review from Netherlands
"If it was built like a German car you would have an unbeatable combination"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There is a rattling sound in the suspension. The dealer can't seem to find it. It is really starting to irritate me!
At 5000 km I noticed the tail lights were full of water. My garage solved it but they were wet again after a month or 2.
At 15000 km the the driver's seat wasn't properly attached to the floor and began to make sounds (squeaking, rattling, etc.) A new seat-frame was placed, but I had the same problem again after about two weeks!
General comments?
Beautiful designed car (inside and outside), but there are alway sounds and noises when driven and the dealer support is very bad. As if they really don't know how to solve a problem with this car.
