On the road
Driving
Good steering, maybe a little light. However, bad in 1st gear (wont let you go down to a rolling 1st) EVER, clunky gear changes, also panel on driver's side windscreen is positioned badly for good visability at junctions.
Performance
Good at low speeds, the 1.1 is not powerful enough for the car's weight. Car rumbles in 4th gear... crap really.

Living with it
Reliability
DON'T BUY THIS CAR IT IS TOTALLY CRAP! (also see faults). Spent over £2000 on this car in the past year. ECU went when 2 1/2 years old, cost £950 to replace and repair damge, which took about a month to repaire cuz Peugeot couldn't find the problem.
Image
I think this car is really nice, which is why I bought it.
Comfort
I find this car really comfortable... the seats are fully adjustable (lateral and height), as well as the steering column. Can understand why some blokes find it uncomfortable because the pedals are a little close together, but fine for me.
