    Usually good fun to drive.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Had engine fault from new and dealer was slow to sort. Peugeot themselves were absolutely hopeless and were not interested in resolving engine fault. Dealer sorted it in the end after 2 years!

    Nice looker, but spoilt for me by Peugeot's awful attitude.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Not a car for comfort. Rear legroom non-existent and pedals too close together.

    No-one has nicked it yet! (probably know something I don't).

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0
