2000 Peugeot 206 XS review from UK and Ireland
"A piece of art badly backed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management failed in a box junction. The AA had to move the vehicle which caused a huge tailback.
Fan belt squeaking.
Dash rattles.
Back seat retension bar rubbing on the seat.
Anti-roll bar at the front and rear became loose.
Squeaky brakes.
Gruff sounding engine after three days of ownership.
Engine mounts went, causing a tapping/knocking noise when you start the engine or go over a bump.
Dealer fitted spoiler came off while I was driving.
General comments?
Completely poor car, I spoke to a person at Peugeot customer services. He told me that I had only paid £12,000. That is what you get; it is not a Rolls Royce.
Dealers were poor.
In the end, I sold the car and purchased a nice Fiesta Zetec-S.
Car is badly designed and backed by both the manufacturer and dealers.
A real shame for such a nice little car.
