Living with it
Reliability
A few problems, but have never had to call the AA yet and has never failed to get me to destination.
Image
Might be starting to age a bit, but seeing another one come towards you on the road reminds you that its still got a certain prescence about its stance on the road.
Comfort
Very smooth riding car. Very quiet diesel at speed. Good for long journeys. Climate control a great piece of kit.
-
Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks good, but I think a factory fitted U/S alarm should be standard across the range in a car of this class.
Service
Peugeot need to sort themselves out as far as customer service is concerned. They just haven't got it right yet!
