2000 Peugeot 206 s16 review from Australia and New Zealand
"The safest small car in the world"
General comments?
This car saved my life.
I was hit head on at 100km an hour on a southern road in New Zealand. The other driver slipped on the ice, crossed the center line, and was killed in the accident.
The front of my 206 disintegrated taking all the impact. The engine dropped below the car as it should do. I walked out of the car with only fractures. The crash investigators said they would recommend Peugeot to everyone they met.
This is a seriously safe car.
