On the road

A very good drive for a big car. Gearbox not good.
Performance
As a diesel it gets full marks. Would beat any small engined car off the lights.

Living with it
Reliability
Little niggles all the time (usually expensive to fix).
Image
Looks fab. Understated and classy at the same time.
Comfort
More comfortable than older model. Things are laid out well.
-
Security and Service
Security
Broken into without waking me. Also security fault with boot.
Service
Peugeot dealers are awful! They won't do anything for free. They make you sit down and ignore you for ages when you are waiting for something. Servicing overpriced and poorly done. Overall VERY POOR.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Cams are rattling at 74,000 miles... not good for a diesel that's meant to go on and on.
Other
Loads of niggly problems. I'd be supprised if it makes 100,000 miles. Diesels are meant to last!

Used

No
