    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Fantastic value for money secondhand providing you get a good one.

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Average of 39mpg, some repairs, but minimal otherwise.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Fine to drive, if a little noisy at speed.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Nippy with a large boot - holds the road well and can be modified easily.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    28k miles for pennies - pretty good so far.

    Old man's car unless you get the GTi - irritates people when you overtake them…

    Comfort

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Needs more luxury to keep the girlfriend happy, but less to go wrong…

  • Security and Service

    Security

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Basic at best - would suggest alarm/immobiliser is needed, but generally not a thief's prime target…

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Peugeot dealers are too expensive - go elsewhere.
