2000 Peugeot 206 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Absolute beauty, but jinxed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On delivery, the air Conditioning has not worked, even though this was pointed out to the dealer when I bought the car.
There is a constant whining from the cam belt, the gear box rattles in 5th gear.
The exhaust rattles constantly (so does the dashboard and rear torsion bars).
The latest thing to happen is that the doors lock and unlock themselves randomly. The car is possessed!
General comments?
The car is gorgeous - it looks like sex on wheels with its 16' alloys, and full Peugeot sport kit (Mesh grille, spoiler, Arch extensions)
It's a shame that it seems to be totally jinxed for me. I'm selling it soon because I'm sick of the faults, but its fantastic to look at and it handles like something else!
