2001 Peugeot 206 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Great, but uncomfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Climate Control is a bit strange - seems to blow either hot or cold, not just comfortably warm : (
Strange crumpling sound on acceleration when cold - dealer couldn't rectify.
General comments?
Performance is good, a 1.6 engine in this car gives great power, yet returns 50 mpg+ quite easily too.
The standard 6CD changer is a big bonus too.
Pleasant interior styling,and of course wicked outside 206 looks.
Let down massively/solely by really uncomfortable seats/driving position.
Impossible to get comfortable on a long journey, and legs are very sore on arrival. (I'm 37,5'9 av build male).
Disappointing, as I want to sell it now, due to 90 mile commute each day : (
