Value
Peanuts for what you get!
Costs
Some parts may be expensive, but service interval is large so running costs not as high as they could be.

On the road
Driving
Grip and handling are awesome, roll minimal. Gives great feedback through the steering and inspires nothing but confidence in the bends.
Performance
6-speed box means that it pulls immediately in every gear and being a short ratio box it sounds awesome too. Pulls especially well in 2nd and 3rd gear.

Living with it
Reliability
Haven't had it that long, but from experience with others there is very little to complain about besides a few minor electrical glitches. But hey! It's French!
Image
Street cred is sky high as it is the best looking hatch there is. Still, it isn't too boy racery or over the top - it looks just right.
Comfort
Seats are grippy and comfortable, but could do with extra lumbar support if you are tall like me and get back ache.

Security and Service
Security
Immobiliser is just fine (though to be honest I prefered the old keypad immobiliser), but the locks look weak and it doesn't even get deadlocks. My advice is to fit a good alarm.
Service
If you shout loud enough they eventually hear and sorted most things out, though I won't be servicing it at Peugeot as I am not sure if I trust them.
