Driving
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
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!)
Image
Aged very well.
Comfort
Since it is 6 years old, it can't be faulted. Loads of room.

Security and Service
Security
Not good, but who would nick one? Not a very quick get-a-way car!
Service
Engineers ok. Just seem to employ poor workers behind the desks.
