Not a performance car apart from motorways.

Living with it
Reliability
Engine ok, door lock mechanisms dodgy, trim also in places. Typical Peugeot?
Image
As much sex appeal as a road accident.
Comfort
Seat position ok, upholstery soft, ok suspension. Generally ok, but not a BMW.

Security and Service
Security
Nothing spesh; remote C/L handy.

We have a local family-type Peugeot dealer, they seem to care, no real complaints.
