"Excellent car, but not for those with long legs and friends - Its one of the other!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Wheel rollers on passenger seat broke

- Manufacturer rectified this problem free of charge at the 6000 mile free service.

Random beeping occasionally when starting ignition. Sounds like warning beeps, but no warning lights on.

- Manufacturer fixing this this coming Wednesday, free of charge as pointed out during 6000 mile service.

- Windscreen mysteriously cracked at around 4000 miles. Queried the garage if it could have been installed too tight, but they denied it (could have lied though)

General comments?

Great car. Fast, fuel efficient (i get around 500 miles per tank)

Not much room if you've got long legs, as you've gotta crack the seat all the way back, which is hell for my mates behind me.

Boot space is small too.

But, I still love the car, fast as heck, handles great, holds together really well. and get the zest3 model with sports bumpers, grills, and seats etc, for that sportier & racier look, without the price of the sports edition!

Fast as heck you say, what with a 1.4!! My 206 had a 1.4 and it was as slow as anything!! No power at all, and it was a 2002 model with the same engine as yours!! Never again!

Having read the review & the last person's comment, I would like to add that I have a 1.4 206 Zest 2005 model, & mine goes like hell too! The acceleration is fantastic for a small car. It replaced a 1.6 Astra, & the Peugeot 206 is much more economical & much quicker than the Astra was. I wonder if the person who said that theirs was slow had a fault with it? I can only comment on mine.. If you're thinking of buying one of these cars, do so. You wouldn't be disappointed with it.
