Pros and Cons – The Peugeot 206 SW

on

Van has always been synonymous with great car. It’s good to carry a lot of luggage and even bikes in the class, but it becomes a problem to park. The Peugeot 206 SW can bring together the best of each world and also takes the advantage of being more equipped than average. Being 19 cm shorter than the Palio Weekend, the peruinha is more compact, but loses badly in the trunk: 313 liters are against 460 and 437 of the Palio of Parati – however, compensates with the practicality of the rear trailer. And for those who enjoy one played more sports, she likes more than his competitors.

Launched in February 2005, came with 1.4 engines (75 bhp) and 1.6 16V (110hp) in two versions. The Presence offered power steering, power locks, steering wheel and seat height adjustment and power windows in the front. As an option, the 1.6 had dual airbags and air conditioning. Incidentally, now that they have air is most valued and the price difference between used is small. Already the top-line Feline (only with 1.6 engines) added digital air conditioning, disc brakes on all four wheels, automatic lighting of headlights, alloy wheels, trip computer, rain sensor and electric mirrors.

Three months after launch, the van won the flex 1.6 engines (113 HP and 110 HP on alcohol in gasoline). Only in 2006 the technology would come to 1.4 (82/80 HP), while the air conditioning came to be standard across the line. In the same year came the Escapade, more equipped and stylish off-road. In 2007 1.6 Presence left the line and Feline gained the option of four-speed sequential exchange, the same as the 307.

careful maintenance, more expensive than its rivals. Another complaint is the poor service in unauthorized and durability and price of parts – a rear window 2000 actual costs, and it is not difficult to find a car with this piece cracked or misaligned.
