2002 Peugeot 206 cc review from Australia and New Zealand
"Pathetic lemon"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I wrote the previous review in September 2004 (please refere to this review) about the car being a lemon.
I would like to mention that my car is now going back into service next week for the 10th time, still with a leaking roof from the same left roof catch, causing puddles of rain water on my passenger seat. This time, there is also a squeaking driver window as it opens or closes.
General comments?
Since I last wrote a review, I have been told by my service center that the 206cc will always leak, especially under fine pressure hose, as the car is not designed for this, and that all convertibles will leak. My family and friends own convertibles of different models, and none leak! But tell the service people this, and they don't care. I want my money back.
I also found out my expensive extended warranty which took me 8 months to finally negotiate, despite the car being initially sold as having this option, doesn't even cover new roof seals IE it doesn't cover them because Peugeot has the assumption that any seals which need replacing will be due to wear and tear. The service guys also told me this is regardless of the service history the car has, as the extended warranty is like starting a completely new service record.
