Main Competitors
Main Competitors to the Peugeot 206 in general are vast. Being a supermini, it is put in the firing line of the Ford Fiesta, and the Citreon Saxo, probably the most popular.
Th GTi180, being a hot hatch, has a lot of "power level" Competitors, but in many peoples opinion, the 180 (Or RC in Europe), is in a league of its own.
In independent tests, the GTi has proved its own against the Civic Type R EP3. The VTEC powered Civic is a very high revving engine, with a 2.0 capacity, but it cannot shake the lesser powerful GTi180/RC. Other cars on the 206 hit list include the Focus RS among others. What the hell!!!
Hybrid Models
If there are hybrid versions of this vehicle manufactured, then please elaborate a little bit on it here.
Unique Attributes

Criticisms
Please make sure to keep critiques in a third-person point of view. If using criticisms from a reputable automotive source, then please make sure to cite the quote.
Main criticisms of the Peugeot 206 stem from the move of production out of the UK, this led to a short boycott of the brand, but generally did not harm the appeal to the UK market.
Otherwise, the handling of the Gti has said to be un worthy of the badge. Upon letting off on the accelerator, there are signs of oversteer, which critics say can be used on the track, but on the road it can be dangerous to other road users.
Some have also noted the positioning of the pedals to be uncomfortably spaced.
Probably the biggest problem of all 206's, is the more and more complaints regarding electrical faults, rendering the car without power assisted brakes and power steering. One Peugeot owner remarked "ITs not our problem, yet we are left waiting with feeble excuses from the manufacturer"
Some say that Peugeot have dealt with this problem as best they can, and that they cannot to this day located the problem, dispite it being featured on TV's "Watchdog."
Generally, the 206 is perceived as a good looking, good going hot hatch, which in the Gti 180 form can keep up with the likes of the Ford Focus RS, and the Civic Type R Ep3.
