Need to pay the extra (above 2k) for a good one.

Excellent, ride and handling are top quality.

Rapid acceleration. Really comes alive above 4,000 RPM.

Living with it
Reliability
Problems with a faulty starter motor have spoiled the experience. Rough idle speed when engine cold.
Image
Fast becoming a classic GTi. Standard cars look far better than those with big alloys and body kits.
Comfort
Seats soft yet supportive. Suspension a bit harsh, but any softer and the handling would suffer.

Security and Service
Security
Nothing as standard, but most are fitted with after-market systems.
Service
Never dealt with Peugeot.
