Good Points
Comfy wee run around ,handles well and does what it says on the tin.
Bad Points
The DW8 [diesel] engine is very disappointing in all respects. Don't expect to be nipping up and down the gears and zooming around, learn to plan your ovetakes and be very careful, it's probably more like 998 petrol engine.
General Comments
I bought this Peugeot 206 1.9 diesel car as cheap transport for my 150 mile round trip per day to keep the mileage down on my 407. It's obviously had a hard life 111000miles in 7.5 years but still looks fair. The engine is noisy, economy is currently poor, but it has a few melodies that need sorting before I pass judgement. I am very disappointed in the VED class, but I think that was a mistake based on my ignorance and past experience with Peugeot diesels. I think the EGR will be going in the bin, it's currently blanked off at the exhaust side and performance has definitely been improved.
