Leaky roof!

General Comments
This Peugeot 206 2.0 Coupe Cabriolet car drives beautifully. The 2.0 version has great acceleration from a standing start. The interior is stylish, with a definite look of the 21st century. Most major controls are within easy reach of the driver. The roof folds into the boot beautifully and quickly...so quickly in fact, it can be done whilst waiting for traffic lights to change. The size is perfect for parking in small spaces. The two seats at the back are not really suitable for long journeys, but are great for the shorter ones. Some owners have complained of roof failure, although this is something that I have yet to experience. The major flaw - a flaw that seems to be common with many of the 206cc's - is the failure of the roof seals to keep the water out of the car. Be prepared to be splashed when breaking. If you are very unlucky, the leak will be experienced at the back and front of the roof. This flaw is not to be confused with the fall of rain from the roof on opening the car, due to the lack of guttering. The latter is just one of the penalties of driving a car with this design.
