1999 Peugeot 206 GLX 1.4
Summary:
Nice car let down by reliability and dealers
Faults:
The CD Autochanger skips on certain CD's.
The passenger seat has locked forwards when someone in the rear pulled both levers backwards; I managed to reset the seat from this state.
The automatic windscreen wipers seem very insensitive to rain - I'd have preferred intermittent wipe or at least the option.
A/C causes difficulties driving this car in town traffic. It feels like it might stall.
Several noises from the dashboard and the rear of the car.
The Central Locking failed this year - both door actuators had gone.
General Comments:
It's a nice stylish car let down by reliability and the dealers.
It's very nippy in traffic; it seriously shifts when you push it.
The A/C is great in summer when the outside is 30C.
The CD player gives me the music I want whilst driving; the on steering column control is very handy.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

After six years, more faults have appeared. The ultrasonic alarm kept going off, so I override it every time I lock the car.
Recently, it started "juddering", running very rough with loss of power. Two expensive trips later, a faulty injector was replaced.
