  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    A very good drive for a big car. Gearbox not good.

    Performance

    5 out of 5 5.0

    As a diesel it gets full marks. Would beat any small engined car off the lights.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Little niggles all the time (usually expensive to fix).

    Looks fab. Understated and classy at the same time.

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    More comfortable than older model. Things are laid out well.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Broken into without waking me. Also security fault with boot.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    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!

    Did you buy the car new?

    Used

    Would you buy the same model again?

    No

    Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?

    No
