Looks good Mary and reasonably priced too

yeah looks nice, though i hear the two of the pedels in these cars are closer together than in other cars and that you might press both rather than one, no reason not to get it though

Im not trying to be a smart arse hear but 4k for a car to learn how to drive in is madness and if you are going to spend that sort of money on a car get something better then a 206

something like that nice little cars to drive aswell

questionmark?

4k is a lot for a car to learn to drive in. Go a cheaper starlet, fiesta,polo etc... U sud get a good deal on one bout 10yrs old.

Get something cheap and cheerful that you don't mind scraping off things and bruising. That Peugeot 206 is something I'd gladly drive into a wall, because they're hateful little things. Rubbish cars. That's my opinion of course.

I always maintained that if I had to rechoose a first time car, I'd get a Colt, and they are now becoming very affordable, as they used to be somewhat more expensive than other cars of that size. I recently picked one up as a daily runner for myself, and will be the car my girlfriends learns to drive in. I can't fault them...they are great little cars.

thanks for the advice. i just like the look of the peugeot 206. the mitsubishi might be a better car but its much too boy racer for me. i also liked the fiat punto but have been talked out of that. i think i will take your advise and try find a cheaper one first though incase i have any accidents
