This time around, I need a car that has a safety features, as you said and i see that in 206. Just want to ask the current owner of 206 if it is worth it, as i did not want previous bad experience to happen again.
as a peugeot 206 / 206 bestari owner, it's worth it.
bad experience, however, MAY happen due to it being a Naza project. proton used to rebadge the tiara AKA citroen ax, but proton managed pulled it off as they are, after all, a car manufacturer. now, naza is a car assembler. so regretably, you have to lower your expectations on their end product/after sales/service. i know that based on your experience owning a proton makes you cautious whether this is a wise move.
i'd say, take it....but get a manual version.
Of course, i have to spend more (a little more?), but satisfaction is more important...
when i test drove the auto version, i know that i have to get the manual version. call me weird but there's that "lion-like" feeling you get when driving the car that ultimately made me decide to buy the car. owning the car does make me set aside some extra money (and extra time!) just in case for anything due to high cost of spare parts, but the satisfaction was crystal clear.
all the best to whatever decision you will make!
