Economy
Value
Not bad value with the leather and other gismos but I would not buy from new.
Costs
Prices that Peugeot charge for repairs are terriable, plus all the dealers are booked up for at least 3 weeks every time you ring.

Living with it
Reliability
I have had this car just under a year and have spent more time at Peugeot than driving it. Reliablity on these cars is extremely poor. I have had exhause replaced, links on suspension, washer jets and numerious electrical equipment.
Image
I have to say though this car looks amazing inside and out.
Comfort
Leather chairs comfy but you can't fit anyone tall in the car.

Security and Service
Security
Could not ask more. Alarm remote on key and charges from igniton when driving, deadlocking and also internal proximity sensors.
Service
Peugeot are not help at all. Dealers are unhelpful and always overbooked. I have tried several in the local area and all of them are booked up for weeks and only work on cars that have an appointment. It also takes them 5 hours to do an MOT, even when booked.
