2001 Peugeot 206 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Great Car for the price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear view mirror is in my eye loose and doesn't stay in the spot that I put it in, yet the dealer has said to me that this is normal.
I know I shouldn't complain about the power as it's being a motorbike engine thrown under the hood, but the bottom end is disgraceful, in the need of a little power you won't find it.
The interior is nicely laid out, but the dealers don't give you a selection on the interior.
General comments?
The car is solid, I hate a car that has rattles. This car has none. Besides the engine being under powered (thanks to the Irish Insurance Companies) it would be a great car. The only thing I would suggest is when you get the car out alloys on the car and then compensate for the height with dropping the suspension (so as to not make it look a "Pimp" mobile, Peugeot offer very nice Alloys), as the standard suspension is bit too high and you can feel it exaggerating the roll around corners. Also the standard tires I think they were Michelin don't grip as well as anyone would like.
I do find the steering wheel a bit to distant from me and it's a far grab to reach it, I know people say move your seat closer, but then that means my knees will be by my ears.
