With enhanced fuel economy and excellent handling, the Peugeot 206 SW is a popular small estate car. Its looks separate it from other models in its range as it has a funky exterior but remains a practical family car. There are plenty of engines to choose from but the 2.0HDi is arguably the pick of the Peugeot 206 SW selection as it is competent and one of the cheapest to run. The Peugeot 206 SW interior is equally stylish and there is a high level of comfort. With good safety kit too, the 206 SW is a legitimate all-rounder.

Peugeot 206 SW consumer car reviews

Robert Heeley, England

Peugeot 206 SW 1.4 HDI 2005

5 star review

I’ve become a Peugeot fan having previously owned a 406 saloon and 406 estate and now a 206 SW HDI. This 206 had done 88,000 miles when I bought it. It is economical in the extreme, regularly doing well over 600 miles to the tank of 50 litres. Tax is £35 year and insurance bottom rate. I have just changed the cam belt without any difficulty except the accessory belt tensioner which is frankly dangerous to reload as one cannot turn it in the car without maybe some special tool. Don’t believe the Haynes manual about turning it with an open spanner. When the pin is inserted to hold the tension whilst the belt is relocated you will be lucky to get it out again. I had to grind the thread off a 5mm bolt to fit the holes and fit a nut and washer to withdraw the bolt after locating the belt. I have other tips too if anyone wants to have a go.

Peugeot 206 SW 2.0 HDi XT 2002

4 star review

Have now done over 115k and have not had any major problems apart from normal wear. Drop links and ball joints need replacement on a regular basis but this could be the terrible roads I drive on. Very reliable, economical and practical too. I like the open-able boot window which gives access to an ample boot for a small estate car. Have it serviced regularly to keep the HDi engine running smoothly.

Peugeot 206 SW SW 2006

5 star review

This is the best supermini estate, far better in my opinion than the Skodia Fabia. If it’s an economical drive that you’re looking for then the diesel is the only choice.
