#1: Anyone else... Author: pudmonkey, Location: EdinburghPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:30 am ---- ...absolutely hate their 206?? Ive had my GTI for about 2 years now and the last few months i have just grown to detest it. No end of repairs and other niggly little problems since i bought it, build quality is absolutely awful (number plate falling off was the latest thing!) and it handles like a tub of sh*t on wheels!
Im now at the stage where its basically worth sod all so there's no point selling it as i will only be able to afford another absolute shed afterwards so im just going to run it into the ground, sickens me that im going to be stuck with it for another year and a half until i can afford something else.
Anyone who is thinking of buying a 206, my advice is dont bother!
Flame off.

that made me laugh, i know what you mean about the build quality but its not TOO bad, if you look after it
and about the handling, i have coilovers so mine handles great but yeah standard its pretty poor!
nice rant though

I was playing chicken with 'what noises was going to end up in the biggest repair bill'. I buckled and bought japanese!
#7: Re: Anyone else... Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 7:50 am ---- I've had my 206 since 2006 and apart from a dodgy temperature sensor and radiator fan, it hasn't skipped a beat.
That being said, people have crashed into it. Scum have broken into it. I no longer love it how I used to, and haven't even bothered to get it repaired, as in all honesty, I don't care about it anymore. I'm selling it in November/December 2011 to finance my travelling anyway.
A great car, but i'm getting a little too old for it now.

This is pretty much how i feel about mine, need some work done on it at the moment and its due a service aswell but i just dont give a cr4p anymore. Going to change the spark plugs, fuel filter and oil myself at some point but not bothering getting it serviced properly.
The phrase 'good money after bad' springs to mind.
#12: Re: Anyone else... Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Wed Jan 19, 2011 8:13 am ---- I pretty much hate my car at the moment, it has cost me £2000 in repairs in the last 3 months so im trading it in this week hopefully, the next owner will get a good car to be fair with the stuff that has been replaced but as a few have said i just dont care about it and cant be bothered with it anymore.
