Peugeot 206 GLX 1.4 5dr

Eligibility for a company car meant that I was “forced” to start looking for a new car, my own car is an economical, whippy Nissan Micra 1.0L so initially I was leaning towards an Almeria or Primeria, but then I stumbled on the Peugeot web page and was totally hooked on the sleek look of the 206. Being a company car I needed to take into consideration the usual things such as what extras I could pile on to basic model, what colours it came in and of course emissions and MPG. Well, Peugeot comes up trumps again. The 206 GLX comes with a host of “extras” as standard: stonking Blaupunkt audio system comprising 6 CD auto ...  Read the complete review

I bought my X reg 206 a year ago and it's been my favourite car of my 4 car history including a peugeot 306, a ford ka and a toyota yaris. The car is visually pleasing and much more contempory and modern looking today than other cars of it's age. The 306 looks like a tin can in comparison. It has smooth lines and is a rounder shape than other box type peugeots and the shape didn't change until 2006.

As with most peugeots they are available in ...  Read the complete review

As a non-company car driver I was looking for a cheap to run, yet fun and stylish small car. I owned a Rover 100 for three years, and despite its old looks dubious safety features and odd driving position, found it an economical car that would be hard to replace. Peugeot fit the bill and then some with their excellent 206 GLX 1.4 The 206 was launched in 1998 to replace the much loved, but ageing, 205. It was given reasonable reviews, as most thought it had taken the 205?s heritage a little lightly. It was viewed as being a bit too sensible by some, but most agreed that it was an all round good car. I have to say I never liked the 205 much. Sure the GTI was a ...  Read the complete review

I have a 206 1.4 GLX which looks great,feels great and extremely comfy. It has all the mod-cons you would expect for the upgraded model. However, just because it has the name GLX which basically means it has heated seats and electric mirrors on top of the bog standard Air-con it is about £200 more to insure. I don't understand, this isn't going to be a reason why someone may steal the car, or a surely isnt a reason that would result in an accident, it's just and extra comfort thing that you will never claim as a result of having things extra bits and bobs. But thats not the peugeot's fault I suppose, that would be the insurers but still worth taking note of, do you ...  Read the complete review
