On the road
Driving
Enthusiasts handling. Rides well for sports suspension. Good brakes.
Performance
Refined and good for only 90 bhp, but too underpowered for a sporty diesel. Can't compete with Volkswagen!

Living with it
Reliability
Engine excellent. Couple of electrical glitches.
Image
GTi6 look is good. Many admiring comments so can't be too bad!
Comfort
Front is fine, but often get complaints from the rear about the lack of leg room.

Security and Service
Security
Should have alarm as standard for such a good looking car.
Service
Dealer ok, but don't always sort things first time. Paint defect took a visit from Peugeot management and two attempts to fix!
