General Comments

I have a 2002 Peugeot 206 2.0 GTi and I have to say when driven hard it is enjoyable to drive and grips the road well, but watch out for the front end to snatch when accellerating quickly from a stand still.

The only faults I have found with the car are that when driven hard brakes and tyres do not last long ! I am coming up to 80k miles and have had 4 new front tyres and 2 new back tyres, 2 sets of brake pads on the front and one set on the back. Another problem I have had is getting an exhaust fitted. The back box was replaced with an Arvin Timex box which did not fit at all ! After five different boxes the garage managed to get one to fit with a lot of bending of brackets, but the oval tale pipe was still twisted (not happy) This exhaust then broke 6 months later and was replaced with a Walker exhaust which also did not fit properly and had to have 10 cm cut off to get the oval tail pipe near to the correct position but it still sticks out too much (still not happy)
