On the road
Driving
Nice taut handling from firmer ride (compared with sandard car) and alloy wheels. Seats much more supportive than standard car and the steering has quite a bit of centering force.
Performance
Quick - not fast, but has ample pulling power from 2000-3500RPM for overtaking. 3rd is very good and will nudge 60mph.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems as yet, apart from rattle from door lock.
Image
Stylish Super-Mini with much cleaner rear bumper than standard car.
Comfort
Heavier steering may cause some people problems and 4th gear is too high for 30mph. 'Big car' ride.

Security and Service
Security
Not sure. Hasn't been stolen yet, touch wood. Alarm + immobiliser as sandard.
Service
Contrary to the general consensus of Peugeot Dealers, my local dealer has been very good.
