Im sorry, the XS model is simply (apart from the 1.9d) the worst 206.
Thirsty, rattley engines that cost a fortune to tax. They are they worst variant of the TU5 range, saxo's and 106's have better tuned versions for goodness sake!
They dont even have disk brakes and dont get me started on the granny spec interior...
Edit: Oh and the fact you needed a new engine as well!

Mine dont have a granny interior And my fuel consumption is really good 
But, I agree, the standard XS is s**t.
EDIT after your EDIT: It had 115k miles on it and it was a head gasket. Was cheaper to put the spare lump we had in

My mileometer doesnt work, but I worked it out that on Sunday I did 260 miles on half a tank. No idea about mpg and all that lol.
So considering my old diesel did 405 miles a tank, my pug does 115 miles more lol.
