General Comments

I've had my Peugeot 206 1.6 XSi (Silver) for 3 months now and have enjoyed every mile in it. I'm not a car expert so for me important are looks, sound and feel.

Peugeot have rightly resisted any urges to give the 206 a face-lift because it still looks amazing after all these years - it manages to be a car of presence, whilst (in terms of dimensions) being smaller than a Fiat Punto.

I must admit I was concerned at reading criticism of the driving position in a 206 before purchasing the car, but I urge anyone concerned to test drive, find out for yourself.

The seats can be adjusted in pretty much every direction, and at 6ft I have more than enough space behind the wheel. The gear-shift is smooth, almost to the extent it can be operated with a couple of fingers, and steering controls are simply to understand and use.

Bonus features such as steering control for radio/CD, and automatic lights and wipers just further ease the driving experience. I drove my last car for 7 years (an S-reg Fiesta) and barring a lottery win I can see me enjoying driving this one for just as long.
