Advantages: French chic and nice touches in places

Disadvantages: Poor pedal layout and terrible gear change

I was very disappointed with the 206, mostly because of the rather awkwardly small pedals
which I find are set far too close too each other - is the this a car purely designed for small
female leg-ends? Obviously.
In fact my feet are only a size 9 but I still felt unsafe due to the lack of space between the
pedals. I've driven over 30 cars in the past few years and only the (surprise, surprise)
Pug 106 was as bad.
Add to that the poor gearbox and unresponsive (1.4) engine and the whole package shouts
"City runabout for ladies", which is great if you're female and live in the city.
I only score 1 out of 2 for those though.

Such a shame for the car to be so spoiled by such basic things, the overall spec and
the rest of the car was very pleasing indeed.

As ever, try before you buy! I'm glad I was only renting it.
