I have it in bucketloads! :P I've been told by many many peugeot owners their electrical systems are crap and I do believe the 306 also had reported issues of going up in flames randomly. Not just that though... For me the 206 was terrible. Doors like paper, cramped pedals, small, too much body roll, autobox sucked ass (but we had to have one as it was a shared car). 0-60 was probably slower than it's 0-Up-in-Flames speed.

Their cars were always beautiful, but not very drivable. I hoped that 20 years brought some progress to the brand. I drove rentals 206 in Europe and it was a lovely car, but I did not have to live with it.

I find it hard to believe that a Car maker as old as PEUGEOT would have any kind of regular problem with something like the electrical systems in their vehicles unless they were not making reasonable assurances against them. It could just be the rotten apple in the barrel. But not being familiar with PEUGEOT's track record in quality, I really don't have a solid opinion. Back the the RC-Z, Freshily funky looking, but it would not play well outside of Europe. It is just too weird, or original, looking. The AUDI TT seems responsibly reined in by comparison.

From my 206 that had electrical problems, to my cousins 106 that burst into flames due to electrical problems, they're just unreliable as hell when you put electrics in 'em...! Yes, but Peugeots suck balls.

The first 16 valve 4 cylinder engine was French racing engine in 1916. First mass production front wheel drive car was Citroen Avant. First radial tires are French. Unfortunately for them they can't fight wars and have shitty personalities. BTW, French auto industry is quite progressive. The first 16 valve 4 cylinder engine was French racing engine in 1916.

That the engine BMW sourced and partially financed development. Did not test turbo version of Mini, but in non-turbo version it was terrific. The very same 1.6L powers Mini.
