    V good for size of car. Never lost it so far, but Peugeot do seem to have excellent chassies.

    Performance

    Like a slug compared to my Golf TDi PD 110!!

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Ok so far (56K miles). A/C pump failed and starter gone at 40K (Peugeot wanted £140 for starter, got one from breakers for £35 off a 405 - works fine and very easy to fit!)

    Aged very well.

    Comfort

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Since it is 6 years old, it can't be faulted. Loads of room.

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Engineers ok. Just seem to employ poor workers behind the desks.
