Do you think there are more than 10? Did I miss any obvious ones? Do you disagree?
Probably you have an answer to all those questions...so comment below!
Next... look on the channel for the video explaining the 10 reasons you SHOULD buy a 206!

vw newbeetle, fiat 500, smart, chevrolet matiz, those are really girly cars. 206 is like a normal car a little bit more in touch with its feminine side, but not flat out girly. Most people i see driving it here in athens greece are dudes.
Thanks for your comment 👍 the 206 was Peugeots answer to the other girly cars imo... Just mine maybe haha
@@PiggyPower I think the Europeans are obviously a lot more comfortable in their metrosexuality too. There's a reason most of them in the UK haven't been looked after....
Nearly 2 years ago, I bought a cheap Y reg 206 2.0 HDi GLX. It had some issues that meant it died but my god did that car have charm. I’m tempted to get another. It would need to be either a 2.0 HDi or a GTi for me to do it.
Why did it die?? They are pretty indestructible tbf!
@@PiggyPower There was diesel leaking from the tank and the previous owner lied about getting the cam belt done. You can guess what happened after that lol
@@GECKOZFTW both easy fixes usually... Just pop some new cam followers/rockers and a belt... And they 999/1000 survive fine!
I’d argue that the paint work issues are the manufacturers fault rather than owners - Citroen/Peugeot vehicles of a similar age often seem to suffer with clear coat/lacquer peel and it seems aggravated by pressure washing. My 55 plate red berlingo was a show queen for this.
Pressure washing, automated car washers and no wax = lacquer peel. Happens on all cars of that era that aren't cared for ...not just Pugs!
Right it has been a mystery for me for a long time, then i heard about safety regulations in the 90's that modified drastically the paint composition and its durability, it's very common to see some 15 to 20 yo cars with the clear coat completely gone. There was the same problem with electronics when the 2002 RoHS ( European directive) banned some materials like lead on welds making them less reliable.
I am buying my third consecutive 206 next month in sha Allah
Cool
All good points that put me off replacing my 106 with a 206. I would add thick front pillars and short suspension travel. The 203 204 & 205 were known for comfortable suspension, so the 206 suspension was disappointing.
I dont think the 206 was BAD for suspension, the non sporty ones are super comfy... but they compromised... the 203/204 handled so badly! 205 was a bit better... but I dont think PSA did a BAD job considering the 206 weighed a LOT more than the 205...and was far safer too because of it
I own a 206 sw and the paintwork is beautiful, no issues asides from a few scratches, ac works wonders, very comfortable, got mine for 1200 and it was very well looked after, 2006 206 sw does also have electric windows and fog lights, must be driving a crappy not looked after 206
Some are indeed still well looked after. Electric windows and fog lights aren't exactly high spec at the time the 206 was made. The 306 (older) had better spec with base models ... Which I think is the comparison I made here. Go see my comparative video with the 10 reasons you should own one... I try to be balanced 😁🐖👍
@@PiggyPower watched that one before this one, honestly, pretty solid cars, I had a crash in mine and still managed to repair it by hand with 0 experience, super simple engine on the 1.4 hdi verve, in love...
@FallaXX Kudos. Well done. Yeah easy to work on. Ironically the 1.4hdi is one of the more complex! Try the 1.1 or 1.4 petrol, super super simple
@@PiggyPower seriously? I've found it quite easy to work on with 0 mechanic experience before hand, done electrics, changed filters, fixed air locks, wiper problems, alternator replacement, map sensor replacement with just a general knowledge of where everything is... very keen to drive the GTi models, look very fun for rally
For basic maintenance it's ok... But if you ever tried working on the easier engines... You'd realise how annoying the designer was for the hdi
Probably paintwork and rear axle are common problem in uk, i live in italy and my 206 from 2003 and around 190k kilometers (120k miles) has no problem in the rear axle, ac works from 2003 super nice and really cool, the paint is perfect, has no peeling at all. BUT i agree with low spec and, as my point of view, i like the rough feeling of the car, with little to no sound dampening from the outside, it makes kinda enjoyable for a ride, but it's all personal, i agree with it. Nice video!
👌🐷
Mostly good and fair points. Mine must be a needle in a haystack then. Got fully working AC on mine, there's a recharge sticker from 2 years ago, must have just got too hot in the summer for them then. Would also like to add on last point, everything feels quite cheap and the doors sound like a tin can.
Yup and yup! Keep that AC serviced!
I just bought one... Love it! So far so good! I live in Trinidad and tobago
Awesome! Go see my 10 reasons you should buy and you'll see I do like them a bit!! Have fun!
'Gear sticks in weird place' where the hell do u want it to be
In a more egonomic place, obviously 🤣
any chance anyone knows would peugeot 207 seats fit in a 306 ? even if it is possible to swap rails over ?
Any seats will fit with enough skill, time and money.
I bought one, great cars.
Enjoy it 🐖👍
What’s your general view of Peugeot put together cars ? I have a 2003 Peugeot partner 2000cc but no experience with them.Are they reliable and ok made ?
Yeah, good 👍🐷
I drive a couple thousand miles a week in my 1.4 hdi, it's not comfy, but my Fiat Panda was so much worse. My AC needs regassing, my chassis is rusting and the turning circle is horrendous. The car is so loud in the motorway, and I've added soundproofing to it. It's a love hate relationship with my car, but it's my car, and I've driven so much worse. I'll be retiring mine this year to my younger brother or 4x4 project (not decided yet), but I'll tell you this: its my second 206, and boy I'm jealous of then Iranian models, in fact I almost bought one and drove it back but lock down happened. However, it's my car, and having a great connection to a car matters and nothing else. Heck, my favourite car is the seicento and they're lacking more than the 206. I've gone on abit so I'll end with 1 notable point about your video... *YOUR VIDEO HAD VOLVO ADS ON EVERY AD BREAK*
Nice comment! Thanks for taking the time! If you think a 206 turning circle is bad... You should try a more modern car!
Interesting that you say you're jealous of the Iranian version of the 206 because from my knowledge those cars are mostly built on horrendously cheap Chinese knock off parts due to the sanctions. In fact almost everyone in Iran were on a hunt for French manufactured 206s from what I remember
I raced in the 206GTI series with the Track Attack Club. We ran coil-overs on the front with Gaz Golds on the rear and used NS-2R tyres and they weren't too bad. I also raced a 306GTI and should never have sold it. It was a great handling car once it had modified suspension on it with upper and lower chassis braces to the front end. The 138bhp engine is just under-powered though. As a cheap race car, it ticked teh boxes.
Yeah I bet it was a riot! I think it was a massive shame they used the 138bhp engine ... The 180 is far better all round. 306GTi is also better of course in everything haha ...getting another one day?
@@PiggyPower if you want to see a proper race 306gti, look out for Chris Bassett's one. PUg-1-off full race engine, Quaife 05 gearbox, fibreglass boot and bonnet. It wins anythng he races against and he is a good driver. My one needed the f/g boot at the very least and the Pug-i-off 198bhp conversion. I had to give up racing last year after 47 years due to osteoporosis. I now need 2 new knees. If i was still racng, I might get another, but.... Learnt a lot about 306's from your You Tube vids. Loved the humourous style of them. I agree that the 180bhp engined 06 would have been better but it was all about getting out racing as cheaply as possible.
@@chrisfarr2114 yeah I've seen his. Nice unit
I had a 1.4 verve I paid £550 was a decent car for the most part but I found all about the lift off oversteer which ended with the car hitting a verge at about 30mph still came off a lot better than I thought it would
Hoping you were ok too!
@@PiggyPower Yes I was okay threw the bumpers in the boot and drove home, there a decent little car for all there faults and cheap motoring. Enjoyed watching great video👍
thanks for commenting! Glad you were ok!
hey, My mum has a 52 plate 206 that only has 45,000 miles on it, it had 36,000 when we brought it in 2019, and the AC has always worked, the first car she has had with AC infact..... although your defiantly right about the driving position, and the paint, do not leave bird dirt on it too long it'll go straight through the it. although ours must be a pretty high spec model, it has auto lights and wipers and front electric windows, with the 1124 cc engine, only complaint is the electric window switches are mounted in the middle console, so your passenger goes for some fresh air and I'm watching that rev counter climbing because I know if I go for 4th their arm is gonna be in the way
Oh wow, someone really ticked all the boxes when they bought that one...other than "bigger engine" 😅👌🐷
Noticed Your jumper, excellent choice of colour.. Looks like the gears sequence on my old BMW bike
It's the gear sequence on pretty much all bikes! 👍🐷
@@PiggyPower Well, my somewhat older Beemer stops at 4 :)
@@sssxxxttt wow, that must be some age on that thing. The sequence is usually the same though
@@PiggyPower You are right. The oldtimer is a -58.R69 My "new" bike is a R1100s -99 but 6 gears was introduced on BMW around that time.
I still like You work on the 204. Small cars are more personal. I was thinking about what will be the youngest oldtimers. Today there's so much irreplaceable plastic I don't think it will be possible to keep them in running condition. On my -58 BMW rubber parts is the main problem. On the -99 all plastic parts get brittle and look ok until you try to handle them. Much like the throttle thing on the carburettor of the 204.
@@sssxxxttt that's where 3D printing and modern replacement materials come in. Anything can be made or a modern replacement to be modified to fit if you're willing
I've been on the fence about buying the 2004 206 xs AT. the only problem is parking space is very sparse here, and where I live there's no rentable parking space. parking on street is forbidden.
Well it's quite small so that may help?
not alot of these cars came with any fancy bits but my 1.6 hdi gti has auto wipers and auto lights
Yeah top of the range ones had a few extras, like the GTi as you say.
I commented on your last video on 10 reasons why you need to buy 206. And I just bought 206 as my very first car. And I don't have issues with the paint work at all. Mine is red just like yours. Also, my AC works pretty well in tropical weather in Indonesia. FYI, the spare parts are quite expensive compared to Japanese cars here.
That's great to hear your paintwork is good, someone obviously looked after it well! Same with the AC 👌🐷 enjoy 👍
@@PiggyPower The major issue of peugeot or any european car in Indonesia is the price of spare part that is expensive and also the selling price that will go down big time. For example, with the same budget to buy 206 2003, it's the same price for Corolla 85' in here. European car has its own little community here LOL

Agree with all your reason, except subjective one (design), that's relative for each individual perspective
Cheer's
Indeed, that's why I said that in the video... however it is an agreed opinion by a majority!
As a 206 owner, here is my answer (cannot make it shorter, sorry):
1. Yeah, the paint was probably manufacturer's fault. My engine hood is pealing badly and above front and rear wheels paint is peeling completely to metal. At least it won't rust although the tires threw plenty of salt that is used on road during winter. I have to repaint it almost completely, but I am not sure if the issue will happen again. Worst thing is that I have seen many 206s and I am the only one that faces problems with paint.
2. Well, not all of 206s are ugly, especially facelift models. Mine was ugly when it had older bumper that was used since 1998 (it was even seen on facelift that had no fog lights). Weirdly, mine has plenty of hidden options like an option with electric mirrors and front fog lights. Found an RC front bumper and it looks beautiful. And yeah, SW is ugly as hell.
3. To be honest, I have the AC in my 206. I have just tested it if it works and, surprisingly, it does. Although I never use it. I just open window and issue is solved.
4. My 206 is really comfortable. The only issue is the legroom between the rear and front seats. The space is really small, but at least, both front and rear seats are very comfortable.
5. Well, speaking of driver position, I found nothing bad, probably due to my model that is with LHD. And yeah, don't wear big shoes or you may accidentally press brake and gas at the same moment.
6. Well, my 206 understeer a few times. Surprisingly, it never oversteered, not sure how, but I can sometimes feel one of the rear tires coming off the ground sometimes when I try to avoid a car, yikes 😬. I hope that I don't end bad.
7. Yeah, it is mostly for girls, but even mens like it. To be honest, I like it as well, that's why i bought it.
8. Well, it's true. It was once hit on front right fender, then on a rear right panel underneath the tail light. It was damaged with the previous owner. To be honest, I wouldn't buy it at all, but since I know about the car body repairing and plenty of things, I bought it.
9. I had that issue, the rear right wheel went curvy and was scraping inside. Found the used one from SW, but I felt bad for not keeping the strut bars with it. At least, it's better. Everyone will say that the rear axles are really bad. I can confirm it as well. Repairs here is more expensive than the used rear axle, which is even bad.
10. Well, I have nothing bad here as well. My 206 has auto headlights, AC, 4x airbag (some 206s didn't had passenger airbag and front fog lights. I have a plan to add electric mirrors since I found the installation and will add the cruise control. Hope it ends great.
Thanks for your brilliant reply 👍
@@PiggyPower No problem, mate 😉.
SW looks nice
I have 206sw made in England (Ryton} and I have not any problem with paint. My is icecoldblue metalic. For me 207sw are ugliest then 206sw. About driver position You are right. You siting on the wrong site of car. The right position for a driver is left :-D (english is funny language).
Haha! Very nice! That metallic blue is the best for keeping good paint. All the SWs are butt ugly tbh!
My first car was a 206 xsi with the tu5 engine that got handed down to me! It also had both auto wipers and auto headlights and the AC worked 😂 I put all the gti bits on it to make it look a bit better and a new sway bar axle with bilstein b8’s! I loved it for the 2 years I drove it so much so it’s still parked round the back of the house many cars later!
Which country are you in??? I've never come across a 206 in the UK with auto headlights and wipers? 😲🐷
I'm so glad that my AC work
Me too 👍😁🐷😂
@@PiggyPower I have a question: my 206 is a bit restless when idling. What could be the reason? (1.4 petrol engine)
Love my 206
I'm glad, see the other video, reasons for buying one!
Was thinking of getting one how is it any good with fuel consumption
Have owned two used 206s since 2011, both 2005 models. Very happy with solid body that still has dedisn appeal.. Consumption around 5.2 L/100km.
Both had to have cylinder head gasket job. I suspect reason being I toppep up with water without antifreeze additive. This could have hastened corrosion of gasket?
I love my Peugeot
I love my Peugeot too ☺️😂🐷
Lacquer peel is due to mistreating imo. I think 206 is really good looking and quite timeless. Check other 18yr old cars. 206 no rust, petrol ohvs abs cinch to look after even with someone with little ability like me. Regularly go to Cornwall in daughters 2005 1.1. 50mpg. Comfort fine except pedal off set..I love old French cars. See how many fiestas and Cora’s there are left that aren’t rotting off their chassis.
Have you watched the other video? 10 reasons to buy one?
@@PiggyPower defo watched all ur vids
Hahahaha, I feel like the 206 is one of THE best designs of all cars, not only Peugeots 😂 How taste can be different …
What part is the best design?
Look forward to when you do a 106 😉
If someone lends me one.... 👍🐷
@@PiggyPower Have you mislaid your crowbar? 🤪 🏃♂ 🚓 👮♂
I don't have any of the problems that you have said....🤣🤣 mine is a GTI not standard but VERY well looked after a daily driver washed once to twice a week .. shame I can't put some pics on here....😅😅
It does look girly though 🤪😜 and that rear axle will bite you 🤪 and it's still a bit sparce of features even as a GTi.... However... Have you seen the sister video to this one? 🤔👍🐷
@@PiggyPower Yes I have.... I would like to send you some pictures might change your mind mine's a bit more manly... 🤣 I do get what you saying tho...
Does it no longer look like a 206? 🙊🐷🤪
@@PiggyPower it does just better looking..🤣
My wife loves her 22 year old ‘girlie’ 206! Much like yours! And, like your wife’s car, ours is red and peeling, or should that be unapeeling? The actual bodywork is sound, rustwise, but she just looks tired (the car, not my wife!!!).
I agree on the lack of spec, inside. It’s almost like the bigwigs at PooJoe tried to get away with the minimum amount of ‘toys’ possible.
Ours was bought secondhand, from a dealer, only 18 months old and yes, the AirCon was NOT WORKING! That can’t be down to lazy/bad ownership, more like crap manufacturing!
Ours is still a reliable little workhorse though, being a 1.9 diesel, and serves as a useful backup to our gas-guzzling Jeep!
Yes the styling is a bit bland, but it’s typical of those Euroboxes, probably designed using a spreadsheet on a Friday afternoon, just before heading off to the local Bistro!
Awesome comment! Thanks for taking the time to leave it 👍🐷
Should i get a 206 or a clio 3
A 206... Not even a difficult decision!
@@PiggyPower okay thanks👍🏼
Make a video 107 and 108 :D
If someone supplies me with them for half a day, yup 👍🐷
yo piggy power, you fancy purchasing my 306 estate? 1.9 na, be good for your channel
....you're guna have to convince me why it would be good for the channel 😜😄🙈🐷
@@PiggyPower 🤣 it’s a 306 say no more 😎
I think looks-wise they got them pretty good, certainly the best looking car in that design range anyway. I reckon you're on point with most of the rest though but HGF in the TU engine ones is a real turn off which I think could have got an honourable mention.
Best looking car in that range....what we comparing it with? 😃🐷👍
@@PiggyPower the other cars that used that design language so, 207, 307 etc. The cars before that (306, 406, 106) actually used the 205 / 405 design origin.
The '06 range was a total redesign! Especially the 306 which had very little at all in common with the 309. .
So comparing it to the 207/307, I can't agree with I'm afraid. Totally different design/generation.
There was a 5 year overlap with the 106/306 and the 206. Admittedly it did bridge the gap between the '06s and '07s but the 206 had very little in common at all with the 207, other than a couple of engines.
@@PiggyPower I think you need to go back and look at the phase 1 cars dude, if you’re seriously saying you can’t see the design cues from the 205 phase 2 and 405, well … What can I say!
The 406 phase 1 even looks like the 605 which is again, taken from the 205 era cars, the 206 is certainly the genesis of future car design at Peugeot.
If you're talking about exterior cosmetics, yes, 206 was different to the 306/106 for sure. I agree. Most other things though were still very much 06 generation.
Talking bad about your Mrs' car? You're going to find somewhere else to sleep. Lol.
Not when I've spent 6yrs building a classic mini for her.
Off topic for which I apologise... Have you seen the 306 dimma on ebay... Right up your street😁
One will take a look 🐷👍😃
One of the best looking cars they made, hence why they sold in the millions. I personally had lots of issues when compared to the 106 but it was a cheap car to start with.
Not sure why your try to compare with a new? Go and drive a different brand of the same age 😂
I'm not comparing it to new cars? 🤔 I don't remember doing so on the video anyway!
They sold in millions as they were super cheap and practical... Obviously looks/style is 100% to do with preference ... I don't think the 206 is worst car ever to look at... For sure... Just not the best styled. Way too frumpy. Like a big blob if melted clay 😂
honestly u ppl don't know how to make cars look good its actually a really good car at least in Iran. we tune these cars there's like 1000 modes for it in here it isn't a weird car at all u just need a truck sht u look too old for a hatchback better go get a Camry 😂😂 its a car that even a kid can work on! its easy to fix and if you get the parts this car can easily go 300k miles with proper oil change
Did you watch the other video?? I know these cars inside and out and did a fair video on the 10 reasons why you should buy one.

I agree with all 10 reasons. Oh and I once knew a good mechanic that swapped his 306 for a 206, and he was not a girly soy boy type either. I could not understand why he did this, although there was talk of him getting a BMW 1 Series so maybe he just let his wife have the 206 (probably!).
