Living with it
Reliability
Having accidentally put petrol in my diesel, I discovered that HDi's are very susceptible to problems, and it turned out true - £3000 to replace the full fuel system, and my Pug dealer took two weeks to find the problem even though this not a rare thing
Image
Sleek but a bit of a hairdresser's car.
Comfort
A bit of an 'Italian' driving position - short legs, long arms, but seats good with adjustable squab.

Security and Service
Service
Identifying the 'petrol in diesel' symptoms should have been obvious according to diesel experts Dragon Performance (dragon@mrhoot.com), but it took my local dealer 3 weeks of constant calls to Peugeot to find out what the fix was.
