Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Second hand with full service history very cheap.
Costs
Cheap original parts from dealer. But serviced by a Peugeot mechanic not the dealer as the dealer charges much higher for labour(example CAM belt cost £18, to change £350 form dealer, but £200 from Peugeot mechanic with 2 year warrantee).

On the road
Driving
The first car I have with the best driving position for long and short trips trips.

Good take off for a deisel.

Living with it
Reliability
Apart from adding some water or oil. Nothing between services (£120 every year with the MOT and £60 every 6000miles).
Image
Despite what people say, ( Taxi car ) once washed, proud to be seen in one
Comfort
Very comfortable ride and seats, good leg room at the back, compered with my wife's car, Audi A4.

Security and Service
Security
Alarm and immobiliser and security lock from a touch of a key (expencive to replace key £120 each , as you can only get it from the dealer) make sure you have 2 keys win you buy.
Service
As I have not bought from the manifacturer directly, I can not comment. But excellent service for the single time I have been, I would go again if prices are lowered
