Economy
Value
Not a bad initial package, but depreciation is steep. MPG is good, servicing is expensive (even when only every 20k miles).
Costs
Covered under value above.

On the road
Driving
Seats are not very comfortable, but apart from that I have no complaints with visibility, accessibility of controls or driving position. Driver 'feedback' is excellent.
Performance
Cornering and braking are excellent. Engine is lively above 3500rpm, but not outstanding.

Living with it
Reliability
Poor build quality. Uneven gaps between boot and rear wings. Indicator switch went wrong (and took MONTHS to fix). CD skips Intermittently. Front brakes squeal and needed skimming at 20k.
Image
Looks nice.
Comfort
Seats do not give enough support, but headroom is fine (I'm over 6') but a little tight in the back.

Security and Service
Security
Good alarm with no problems.
Service
Initial dealer was very slow to fix faults. Last service was done by another Peugeot dealer who was more helpful.
