Peugeot 206 1.1 S

Overall rating:

Parkers summary:
The 206 is stylish and popular, but it's not quite a five-star car. Refinement, interior space and a quality cabin are the best points along with superior handling and ride. But niggling annoyances like the poor driving position and awkward pedal layout mark it down. The lively 2.0 Hdi is economical while the 2.0 litre petrol is a true GTI. The 'must have' Coupe Cabriolet is pricy but its retracting hard top is clever and turns heads.
Value rating:

Not the cheapest supermini, but stylish and well equipped; the meagre one-year warranty is a big disappointment compared with rivals such as Yaris and Polo.
Reliability rating:

Well put together; older Peugeots have a reputation for lasting a long time despite some minor niggles.
