Q: who thinks PEUGEOT 206CC are gorgeous sexy cars
A: When a 206cc drives by, I think it is nice looking. But when I open the bonnet, and see how everything is covered, hidden, protected, inaccessible...I just see HEADACHES for myself (the self-mechanic). And those headlamps! They must cost 200 quid apiece, they are so unusually shaped, intricate in design, and large! I imagine all the expensive electronic relays needed to operate the different sections of the 206's hardtop, as it retracts. Each one costing 25 pounds? Soon to fail one week after the warranty period. Electronic everything on the 206cc. No speedometer cable, no clutch cable, everything is a microchip, a sensor, a relay, all controlled by the ECU. Even the ignition key is expensive. You must return to the dealership for every problem. This is the new strategy of car manufacturers today. LOW PRICE in the beginning, but they get you on service and parts. I heard there is a new Mercedes where you have to go to the dealer to change the oil? Is that next from Peugeot?
