I've had the car for more than a year so I'll concur with the pros people have listed previously. The wiper management system for example is pretty damn cool. Stop or slow down to below 10km/h and the wipers automatically slow down one notch as well. If you have the wipers on and engage the reverse gear, the rear wiper automatically turns on to make sure you have a clear view of the rear.

There are a few things I don't like. The seat cushions feel pretty cheap, these were probably CKDed at the lowest cost possible. Sound proofing can definitely be better, any Dynamat pros out there willing to work with me? There are also a few panels loose under the steering column. They haven't exactly rattled but someone needs to tighten screws down there.
Otherwise I think it's a great car. I certainly hope the C&C to Naza transition won't cause problems but I'm not too hopeful.

i have a question , if i buy a 2nd hand Peugeot 206 XR , will the maintenance be the same with Bestari?

Thanks to the owners for their review

Should be very similar.

Should be similar but expect slight differences in parts.XR is older model so pls check out the specs. Whether its manual or auto (older ones comes with 4HP14 compared to Bestari's newer AL4 gearbox ).
The engine should be 1.6 8v 90hp instead of Bestari's 1.4 8v.

cheers

so a 2nd hand 02'/04' Peugeot XR at RM3x,xxx worth to get?

dont know how to judge worthability of the car.but u can chk out the condition of the car and get to know inside out about the maintenance history.then u might decide if it is.

if u need to get more knowledge on 206,there's an active forum on Naza/Peugeot thread in the Autoworld.
chk them out!

I bought my Bestari 206 in July 2006. Since then I've encountered 2 problems:

1) suspension - in Nov 07 started noticing loud noise every time I drove my car over a bump in the road. Took it to the workshop in Anson Road in Penang, was told the suspension was 'loose'. Noise disappeared after the mechanic worked on it, but recurred again in Jan 08. Again took it to the workshop for fixing in Jan. The noise came back again recently - Apr 08. My car is currently at the workshop.

2) power steering - 3 days ago, the steering wheel felt very heavy, and i have to pull with all my might when turning the wheel. Took the car to the workshop today - when the mechanic opened up the cylinder which contains the power steering fluid - it looked like MUD - brown and sticky!! The mechanic mentioned a number of Bestari have the same problem, some even "bocor" and have to replace. There was one car which had been left at the workshop for ONE MONTH still waiting for the spare part to arrive!

Any other Bestari 206 owners who face the same problem? I am planning to write to Naza with copies to National Consumer Organizations to complain about the quality issues with the Bestari 206 and would welcome comments from other owners who've encountered similar problems.

where can i buy peugeot badge??

rest in peace...



KUALA LUMPUR: Naza Group founder and chairman Tan Sri S.M. Nasimuddin S.M. Amin died on Thursday in Los Angeles after losing his fight with lung cancer. He was 53.

Nasimuddin had been receiving treatment at a private hospital there.
"I have always loved cars. That is why I am in this business" - TAN SRI S.M. NASIMUDDIN

He leaves behind wife Puan Sri Zaleha Ismail, five children and a grandson.

Zaleha and his children were by his side when he died at 9am, local time.

Malaysian consul in Los Angeles Ahmad Asmawi told Bernama that Nasimuddin had been undergoing treatment at the hospital since January.

He said the Malaysian Islamic Society of North America was preparing the body to be flown back to Malaysia today.

The Naza Group is involved in various businesses including motor trading, motorcycles, manufacturing, transport services, engineering, plantation, water craft, property, hotel operations and insurance.

The group is the franchise holder for Ferrari, South Korea's Kia, Peugeot, Brabus, Hamann and Ducati motorbikes in Malaysia.

It also holds the import permits for Mercedes-Benz and Mazda vehicles.

Nasimuddin has been quoted as saying: �I have always loved cars. That is why I am in this business.�

In a brief meeting with the press at Menara Naza yesterday, Datuk S.M. Shalahuddin S.M. Amin said his late brother found his passion in his business, which nurtured the growth of his business venture.

As at press time, his family was still making funeral arrangements, which will be announced today.

I have a small issue with my Power Steering Fluid too.
It was somehow "bocor" or what, the fluid gets below the minimum level.
Sent the car to a workshop and they topup the fluid free-of-charge for me, and tighten some screws below the container, and it's ok now.

Anyway, it scares me. So now I check the fluid level like....once a week.

We are behind time loh.
Spore aledi jual 207 last year leh!

Your statement is defamatory (libel) which should get you a lawsuit very easily. You're being tracked on this site and can be hunted down quite easily.

bought from c & c last time.
can't change the logo on steering though.... besides, thats the only part that will set you free from the traffic / police hassle.
check with members at www.peugeotclubmalaysia.com for more information on the badges availability.

btw, the bestari 206 is value for money. just wonder if the tranny can handle the 2.0gti engine.
the tiptronic is quite nice to play with!

My advice is get your power steering shaft thoroughly checked. The service center flushed the entire shaft and found a major leak. If your car is still under guarantee, get Naza to replace the entire shaft, it costs more than RM 11,000!!

better ask my sister's to send her 206 for checkup this wweekend.
