Creators of Peugeot 206 S16 adopted, that its driver wants to be the fastest participant in traffic, but he won't necessarily want to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, from the outside, the car looks almost the same as the usual three-door variant. Designers showed their lion's claw inside. Comfortable, well-contoured seats hug and hold the body in curves. The sporty atmosphere is created by metal door sill plates, perforated pedal feet and performance gear lever. Even though the steering column is adjusted, taller drivers may have trouble finding the correct position. The wide door and good kinematics of the sliding and tilting mechanism of the seat facilitate access to the rear seat. On the other hand, the considerable length of the doors can make it difficult to open them fully and to get in and out in tight parking lots. The sports two hundred six are not chosen for its utility qualities, however, but for completely different reasons. High torque, available over a wide range of revolutions, provides a light car with excellent acceleration; even in 5th gear, the user still has a large supply of newton meters at his disposal. This is also due to the appropriately stepped gearbox with "short" ratios. The steering system has a changed gear ratio compared to the standard version; just over two turns is enough to turn the wheels from one extreme position to the other. The suspension characteristics have also been corrected, improving driveability at the expense of comfort. As a result, little Peugeot reacts immediately and unmistakably to the driver's commands, keeping the given trajectory, with only a slight tendency to slip on the rear axle, which can be a surprise on slippery surfaces. Spring hardness causes, that bumps and inequalities, which, after all, are not missing on our roads, are transferred to the body, but also on passengers. The parameters of the braking system follow the temperament; installed at all wheels (ventilated at the front) discs in diameter 266/247 mm allow for reliable and effective deceleration while maintaining movement stability. Their action is supported by ABS, and the strong impressions do not detract from the ASR.

As you can see, With the element, the cars seem winding, preferably mountain roads. Driving it, however, also brings a lot of satisfaction in the city, where accelerations come in handy, allowing the rest of the traffic participants to be left under the lights. It is necessary for this pleasure, Unfortunately, pay at the checkout of a gas station; city ​​fuel consumption was 11,3 dm3 / 100 km, on average, the car was satisfied 8,6 dm3 on 100 km. But well – nothing comes for free.
