Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

As opposed to virtually every other Peugeot I have owned (this is the 5th) this car has no comfort level at all in the ride or noise levels.
The engine sounds very harsh on acceleration, the tyre roar is very excessive even on just 17” rims and the suspension is firm and unyielding. You feel every ripple and pothole and the car crashes into speed bumps even at very slow speeds.
The central touchscreen is frustrating to use and not as seamless as some others, having to navigate twice and then press multiple times to change the heater fan speed is ludicrous and dangerous, as are many of the other functions that you use regularly.
Good points are the fuel economy (1.2 petrol EAT8 automatic), I have averaged 45.2 mpg in the first 3 months. Also, the interior design and quality is very good, very different to the norm.
Unfortunately, I hate the car so much that I have just done a deal to trade it in for a different brand, which sounds like madness, but I could not live with so many disappointments on one car.
