Used Peugeot 206 cars for sale

As a used car the Peugeot 206 is an excellent buy. It's an affordable first car, reliable and economical to run and it still looks good, despite going out of production in 2009.

The Peugeot 206 has great space efficiency so it's often used as a family car. The manufacturers designed its interior to offer a helpful range of passenger/luggage combinations by folding different seats as required. With the exception of the Peugeot 206 coupe cabriolet, most models are hatchbacks with either three or five doors.

Peugeot 206 insurance costs tend to sit midway up the charts of most companies. The hot 206 GTi and GTi180 attract higher premiums than the standard ones so make enquiries before you buy as there can be especially if you're a new and/or inexperienced driver. All the more so if you're in what insurance companies call high-risk areas.

The 206 is a traditional French hatchback with responsive suspension that produces a laid-back ride and lively, sensitive handling.

The 206 did well in the EuroNCAP crash tests and was described as a car that gave "an all-round performance protecting the adult occupants. The structure provided a safety cage, with the driver's door frame showing only minor distortion".

The Peugeot 206 was mainly made in Peugeot's Poissy and Mulhouse factories in France. Once launched, the stylish supermini broke fresh ground, with daring curves and sweeping angles. So successful was this shape that the designers carried the styling theme to the rest of the Peugeot range. Other car brand designers picked up on the this and the first decade of the 21st century saw the theme carried far and wide.
