"Not the fun it should be!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Suspension collapsed OSF.

Stereo completely packed up 2 months after the end of the warranty.

Various electrical glitches: horn jammed on, doors opening by themselves, stereo won't come on, aircon starting by itself.

General comments?

Very poor driving position, steering wheel too far away, footwell very cramped, so that I hit brake/clutch at the same time.

Handling quite good, engine not bad, fuel so-so at 30-36mpg.

I wish I had kept the Saxo VTS - more comfortable, no problems, faster ,handles better, just more fun!

I got a 206 on a weekend's hire because I was thinking of buying one. I was glad I did because I suffered back pain from the poor seat and also had problems with the pedals being too close together.

It's a pity because it's a great looking little car, but it's a case of all fur coat and no knickers.
