Peugeot 206 sedan. Owner Reviews

Despite the fact that the car is practically not produced and already has a number of successors, the design of the car is still relevant. Small dimensions and streamlined elongated shapes look modern and elegant. Most drivers note the comfortable ergonomics of the driver's front seat in a Peugeot 206 car. Reviews indicate that all buttons and levers are "at hand", there is enough space around the driver and passenger. Good dynamics can also be counted among the advantages of this model. The car confidently starts from a place, picks up speed quite quickly for city roads. A highly fixed bumper, of course, belongs to the merits of the Peugeot 206 car. Reviews indicate that this model parks easily without touching the curbs, and also has no difficulty driving on uneven roads and ruts. The car is easy to control: in order to overtake the car in front, a couple of smooth turns of the steering wheel are enough, which is very sensitive and instantly responds to movement.

You can also note the clear brakes of the Peugeot 206. Drivers' reviews indicate that the car starts without delay in cold weather, does not annoy with breakdowns, and is economical in terms of oil and fuel consumption.

The model also has a number of shortcomings. For example, some complain about the tightness in the back seat of a Peugeot 206 car. Owner reviews also indicate insufficient sound insulation of the model. If at low speeds in the cabin you can still talk without raising your voice, thenat speeds above 100 km/h, the engine noise becomes louder. For precise handling, you have to pay with the rigidity of the suspension - all the unevenness of the road surface is felt by passengers and the driver. Maintenance is affordable for most owners, but some note a short interval of 10 thousand km, after which it is necessary to check the car. Complaints are also received about periodically occurring "crickets" in the cabin. The car can be equipped with both automatic transmission and manual transmission, and both of them cause criticism. Manual transmission - with long fuzzy moves, and automatic transmission with uninformative switching.
