    Good level of equipment for your money.

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Very economical diesel, but watch out for the service costs.

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    The best road holding family car I've ever driven.

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Average, but I would say the 110bhp would be a better option.

  • Living with it

    5 out of 5 5.0

    A few problems, but have never had to call the AA yet and has never failed to get me to destination.

    5 out of 5 5.0

    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

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Very smooth riding car. Very quiet diesel at speed. Good for long journeys. Climate control a great piece of kit.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Deadlocks good, but I think a factory fitted U/S alarm should be standard across the range in a car of this class.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Peugeot need to sort themselves out as far as customer service is concerned. They just haven't got it right yet!
