2001 Peugeot 206 review from Jordan
"It's alright, but not for daily use, and not for someone who wants reliability!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
NOISE!
The car developed a sequence of annoying noises,
and now it's like I'm riding a horse!
I have power steering that is very stiff, and also very annoying.
The gears are electronic; the car switches down the gears the minute you step on the brake, causing you to use much more fuel.
It has recently started switching off without any reason. I took it to the dealership, they couldn't fix it, took to two other mechanics and they couldn't fix it too, so I drive being ready to change the gear to neutral, and switch the car back on. Very annoying.
General comments?
The seats are very uncomfortable, it's like sitting on a rail way!
The kick-down doesn't always work, you need to swift down the gears with your hand to 3rd, or 2nd or 1st, depending on the speed you need.
