What's it like to drive?

This car is absolutely horrendous on corners, I nearly lost it a few times and was lucky enough to steer out of the spin without causing any damage to the car or anything else. Brutally slow, almost delayed feeling on taking off due to the HDI diesel engine with no turbo.

What's it like to park?

Just like any other car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

The car was in tip top condition for a few months then started falling to pieces. The little metal finish next to the door handle fell off one day, peugeot wanted £15 quid for the tiny metal part and an extra £15 to spray it, never bothered getting it. The engine light kept coming on, got it looked at and the mechanic couldn't find anything wrong with it. The seat covers on the rear of the driver and front passenger seats came apart as if they has been ripped at the seams. Got them replaced for £60 at the peugeot garage, within weeks they had came apart again.

What's most practical about your car?

It has 5 doors and seats 5.
