    What does this car say about you?

    That the 407's broken again..........

    What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

    My 7 year old daughter reckons it's cramped, shakey, and the boot can barely hold a lunch box, never mind the weeks shopping we did. She also says it's worse made,less comfortable and looks worse than our 1.2s Chevrolet Aveo. Peugeot should be ashamed that she is 7 and is CORRECT ON ALL OF THE ABOVE.

    Would you buy this car again and why?

    No. It is too badly compromised at any price. It's shortcomings render it pointless for 99% of uses.

    What are you likely to buy next?

    New model Chevrolet Aveo.

  • Driving it

    4 out of 5 4.0

    What's it like to drive?

    The low speed vibration from the 3 cylinder engine is very nasty. It dominates the interior until it is revved up, like a 15 year old transit van. Really iritating. When revved up it pulls well and evenly and smooths out. Handles well and easily.

    What's it like to park?

    Very easy due to the small size.
