1999 Peugeot 206 d Turbo (meridian) [AC] review from UK and Ireland
"A fast, economical and a beautiful car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major so far, although I have had to replace the batteries for the keys.
General comments?
Excellent looks, from the metallic paint to the standard alloys this car is a head turner.
The 1/2 leather seats and the air conditioning add to the comfort of the ride, making the driving more fun.
My average miles per gallon is 45 although many times I have reached over 50. This is excellent compared to many other cars with similar performance.
It is very quick off the mark, it beats many petrol cars in acceleration although top speed is not as good as the ford focus.
The 6cd changer comes as standard and the speakers are very loud, I was considering to buy a sub-woofer and amplifier, but decided not to as there was really no need for them.
It is only insurance group 5, I currently pay £1360 in my sole name (I am 18 and this is my first car. This is a cheap quote as on other cars with similar performance and engine size my insurance was near £3000.
