Good Points

Good size, stylish.


Bad Points

Terrible service from Peugeot overall. Once car is sold, they are not interested in continuing relationship if there are any problems. Garage couldn't fix the fault after several attempts and fobbed us off despite the car only being 6 months old. Now fixed by a different dealership, but more problems have occured since.


General Comments

This car has caused me problems from about a month after it was bought new. The breaks screeched constantly making people turn and stare. We were told by the dealership it was because of the new asbestos free break pads and that all cars did it. After three attempts they told us that we could no longer bring it back for screeching breaks and they had done all they could. Peugoet UK said it was the dealership's issue, they weren't interested. After much complaining, phone calls and letter writing to all concerned we were given a free service at a different dealership as compensation. They fixed it in one go. Recently the car started making a clonking noise so the wishbone was changed but within days it was doing it again. So it's back to the garage for the third time in three weeks. Peugeot for my next car? No way, no thanks, and thanks for all the (bad) memories.

    I purchased a 206 in May 2002, and it hasn't given me any problems until now, when at 31,000 miles, it needs a new gearbox. Customer care are useless! They keep asking whether I took out an extended warranty. I have just paid £3,850 final payment for my car, and now I'm told it needs £1,200 worth of work done to it, of which Peugeot will accept no liability.
