is a 206' a good car?

Answer 1

yes they are brill i love mine its realy to drive cheap on petrol and despite rumour is really cheap to repair!!!

Answer 2

I have not owned one, however, I have driven one and I have owned several Peugeots.

It seemed ok, but nothing more than that. The one thing that really stuck out was the pedals were really close together. The dealer service is not brilliant too. They're only interested if you are buying a car. The moment you return with a problem they won't give you the time of day.

As others have mentioned on here, the reliability of a Peugeot is debatable and I've yet to meet anyone that's NOT had any issues.

I think they have stopped making them now (or plan too) so you may want to consider this, especially if you are being from new as it will depreciate a lot. I paid £10,000 for a nearly new 306 (with only 4k on the clock a few years back) and then Peugeot announced they'd stop making them - within less than two years it was worth under £4000.

Answer 3

the 206 is a VERY good and reliable car. i've lived in Germany and i owned the convertible version of the 206.. (206cc). It's smooth to drive plus it's somewhat sporty and quick. Had very few problems with it but it's also VERY tiny. I don't know about the regular 206 in the 206cc, the rear seats couldnt really be counted as "seats" since you could only fit a 5- year old in the back.

Answer 4

Of course this really depends on a huge variety of things, in particular what makes a good car to you?

Try Yahoo! Cars, they have a huge selection of reviews on the 206 and all other details you'd need to review as well.

Here's the link to the summary of reviews:

This shows all the 206 versions available, just pick the one you want and it will show you all the technical specifications for the car as well:

Good luck!

Answer 5

Never heard of a 206, but you make want to look it up on Yahoo search engine.

Answer 6

I have a Peugeot 206sw and have now owned it for 1 year

So far so good, nice to drive, reasonably economical but the biggest downside is the lack of room for passengers in the back, it is definately a bit tight on leg room in the back if the driver or front seat passenger is of average height

Not a bad car though

Answer 7

No. Looks good, has a really clever idea for the rear parcel shelf (for the engineers out there), but other than that has nothing much going for it.
Does poorly in satisfaction and reliability surveys.
Poor driving position in right-hand-drive (and not great in left-hand-drive either).
Handling and ride are middle-of-the class.
Interior materials don't look high quality.

You'd be far better off with a Honda Jazz, Skoda Fabia, new Suzuki Swift, Nissan Micra or Ford Fiesta.

Answer 8

My partner sells peugeots and i have driven most of them. I think the small peugeots ie, 206, 207 aren't that special. The bigger cars like 307sw and 407, now they are nice cars!!!

Answer 9

a bit dated sold well good handling pretty for a peugeot horrible driving position not great in the owner surveys ther are better hatches out there better then the 206

Answer 10

yes, it's pretty good. smooth ride, good steering, plenty of legroom.
i don't own one, just ride it a couple of times. 206 owners certainly know also about the bad aspects, but in my opinion you won't regret buying one.

Answer 11

NO. I had one and it was the most unreliable car I've ever owned. In the end I spent about £4,000 keeping it on the road in one year. I had to be rescued by the AA twice.
