My First Car in UK - Peugeot 206

[omar_575]

Hello everyone, its been almost 15 months with this car and it is going tomorrow. I have got a very good deal on a 2016 Audi A3 1.4L TFSI S Line - driven just 11,000 miles available from an Audi Dealer as an approved used car. Will post pics once I get that.
For now, these are the parting pics of the Peugeot 206

Problems which I faced since I bought this car.

1. Car heated up 2 weeks after I bought it. Radiator leak fixed for 120 GBP
2. General tuning and service done in Feb, 2016 - Cost around 500 GBP
3. MOT done in March,2016 - Cost around 50 GBP
4. Battery replaced in August,2016 - 90 GBP
5. Pipe connecting exhaust to catalytic converter got loose - Fixed for 50 GBP
   6.Tax per year: 100 GBP

From what I have experienced, maintaining an old car is more expensive than an executive brand such as an audi A3.

Damn this looks 100 times better then suzuki alto or swift

Read your review of the A3 and this one is no less detailed. Very well written with good photos. European cars are more robust than Japanese ones. In addition, driving conditions are good there compared to here which can be one reason why even a 15 year old car looks quite good. Enjoy your Audi now!

My only criticism on Audi is cramp 2nd seat at back . Might be okay if you have child but if you have three adults on backseat .you are in trouble for long drive

Yes you're absolutely right. As it's just me and my wife for now with the occasional guests every 4 months, it doesn't bother us.
Eventually we will have to move to a bigger car like an A4.
