1999 Peugeot 206 LX review from UK and Ireland

"Good car let down by driving position"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing major - The usual consumables such as exhaust and tyres.

Broken wing mirror x2 = expensive dealer prices.

General comments?

First the negative comments:

The driving position is quite bad for taller people. It is very difficult to get truly comfortable as the steering doesn't adjust for reach and when the steeering feels comfortable the pedals feel too close and vice versa. Can be got used to though.

The front windscreen pillars are big and can obstruct your vision at junctions or winding roads.

The dashboard is part of the large crumple zone and is huge. Unfortunately it is textured plastic which reflects a lot in the windscreen and can be annoying.

Rear visibility is less than some cars.

Dealers can be slow and unorganised, also expensive!

Interior fan/airflow quite weak.

Now positive comments:

The gearbox is very smooth and quite versatile.

The engine is perfectly capable, and doesn't feel too underpowered even fully loaded.

The power steering is well balanced and road-holding is excellent.

Motorway performance excellent for engine size. Quiet and smooth.

Brakes are fantastic.

Standard stereo has good sound.

Spacious inside, good storage spaces.

Looks great even as standard model.
