Economy
Value
There are so many for sale that prices aren't too high.
Costs
OK, I've had to replace some pricey parts. The heater matrix went, which meant the whole dash had to be removed.

On the road
Driving
Handles really well. Point it and it goes. I feel safe knowing nothing unexpected is going to happen. Good feedback from the ride. Heavy clutch, though.
Performance
Good motorway driver. Can be pushed a bit more when required. It pulls well at lower revs.

Living with it
Reliability
Starts first time, everytime. It gives me confidence.
Image
Good looking car, despite its age. That's the Pinafarina talent for you.
Comfort
Peugeot shocks are great. The interior is tired now and the seats are beginning to sag. As in another review, the steering wheel is a bit too far away for comfort if you are tall.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser, deadlock.
Service
Servicing has been ok at a private garage, although some expensive parts have been replaced.
