Thinking of getting a 206CC but heard (and read) more bad things than good.

I would appreciate comments.

I have a 2.0, 51 plate, its now done 54000 miles and I have had no trouble from it since a few items were done under warranty. We sell them at work too and we have never had a hood failiure, we have not seen an engine blown up or any major problems.
Find one that has been serviced correctly and has been looked after, and go for it.

Hi Andy

Thanks for that. I suppose it's the happy ones that don't moan!

We are lookng at a 1600 HDI so it will probably be either a brand new one or an ex-demo (rocking horse droppings at the moment!).

Regards

Tony

Try doing a search.

You will find good and bad comments just as you would get with virtually any car.

18000 on mine. No faults whatsoever apart from a cyclist lumping into the side of me.

Reading about everybody else's problems almost put me off buying a 206cc but I'm so glad I took the bull by the horns and went for it.

Had no problems with mine really - the roof wouldn't go down once but a quick trip to the dealers and it was soon sorted under warranty. Don't think it's a car I would keep out of warranty though......

Go for it! You will not regret it, especially when the sun shines and you've got the roof off. Still maked me smile after 18 months

In general, people without problems don't post. You don't find car forums full of "drove to Scotland and back this weekend -- no problems". So you don't really get a good picture of ownership from a forum.

Bought mine new July 05 from UK dealership

a) squeaking windows after rain.
b) tracking dangerously out since new.
c) the CD changer fitted in glovebox with sticky pads damaged my cd's
d) beware alarm goes off when you lock the car with the roof down - only problem for new cars - peugeot looking for a fix - but still selling the cars with a known fault.
e) usual complaints re: dealers/peugeot dealership

Other than that - mmm great!!!

4.5 years ownership.

1 set of tyres

1 window.

1 jack.

1 new exhaust.

2 recalls

and 1 trip to get the car serviced at a Peugeot garage (Note never went back. Once fooled!!!!)

Still

and still have no craving to get a different car.

No offence but it's a long drive just to take a look at it!

Still, the better half is still considering one - anyone got an nice ex-demo 1600 HDI? Preferably in that nice mid blue.

Oct 2001 2.0 206cc

Spat out the power steering oil 3 times.
CV joint after 10'000 miles.
(warranty)

Exhaust a cool Â£1100 (30'000miles)
(still arguing)

Car at garage today as Air Con stuck on Full Blast
(Â£250 quoted)

The car's done 35'000miles of mainly motorway around Europe.
(Its home is Zurich, Its travelled to Birmigham x4, London, Manchester, Geneva, Zermatt, Davos, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Tuscany, Rome, Piza, Monaco, Provence, Bordeaux, Italian alps, Brennar Pass, Liechtenstein, Reims, Vatican City) Loads of roof down fun.

I bought the car because you could fit ski's on the luggage rack and still work the roof, looks great.

The Exhaust price trashed my relationship with Peugeot!!

If you buy 2nd hand check Exhaust, leaky roof e.t.c or you may get a nasty shock.

Brand new I guess they've sorted this stuff out by now!!

In the garage eh! The car is probably happy to stop in one place for a while!

Joking apart though, I do wonder about it even though it does look a fun car to have.

We'll see.

Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated (the xyl is still keen)

I got the exhaust and alloys replaced under warranty - sounds good ?

No, they didn't replace the engine under warranty that would have cost Â£3,500 - consequently the car was sold very quickly - with the said knackered engine.
