Driving
In all the cars I have owned, nothing makes you smile like a 1.9GTi.
Performance
Rapid, torquey and great midrange. Not much keeps up unitl 100 MPH, then it slows.

Living with it
Reliability
A lot of problems over the years, but generally good.

Still turns heads today. Legend.
Comfort
Rough ride. After market shocks are better than standard.

Security
Seriously?
Service
Peugeot can do basic jobs, but really don't know what they're doing with these cars. Costly labour too.
