2000 Peugeot 206 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Bad news"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump noisy, making a grinding sound normally associated with cars half-way through their lives.
Engine managment failures abounded, revs soaring at junctions (fortunately), complete loss of power on other occasions. Fixed partially by the dealer.
Starting difficulties experienced. Dealer suggested applying 'a bit of throttle'. Fuel injection systems appropriate fuel/air ratios according to conditions - have built-in automated fire-up procedure.
Suspension developed a rattle at three thousand miles ('that's what happens'). Friend discovered loose anti-roll bars.
By then it had all been too much. My previous Fiat had lasted five years with less hassle.
General comments?
Comfortable.
Car handles and performs quite well.
The dealers are money-grabbing, offering very poor levels of service, telling non-truths or covering up as far as possible.
Complete complacency within and amongst.
Reliability shabby.
Numerous faults, unacceptable of a most definitely professionally engineered world consumer product.
Reform needed.
