I find the hatchback very small, the station wagon is ok - its a European car so you need to take good care of it. after a little abuse my manual 206 hatchback occasionally turned into an automatic, started shifting gears on its own while driving.

but overall a good car, the parts are available and there are many ex marshals mechanics around to service the car at a reasonable price.

french cars tend to have problems with the electrics that said if you are going to buy french then atleast get a manual car stay away from automatics, the 206 has been through several recalls ranging from faulty electrics to gearbox problems on their automatics

When i get some cash to spare, I wouldn't mind getting myself the 206 drop-top (blue)or Renautl Megane drop-top
