Okay, the Peugeot 206 is an old design, but there's still no excuse for such a poor performance. It's second to last in the supermini class and overall. What's really astonishing, though, is that it avoids a 'poor' rating in just one of the nine areas of assessment (dealer service). Even then it's below average.
Mechanical faults were just too common. Owners were driven to distraction by problems inside the car, too, including faulty seats and histrionics from the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems. When everything was working, drivers didn't think much of the cabin or the way the car performs. Best avoided.
