Economy
Value
2nd hand bargain. Lots of car for not a lot of money.
Costs
Not great. Petrol and parts pricey.

On the road
Driving
Lovely sounding engine. Very soggy. Not much grin factor. No real feel to it. Steering is stupidly over assisted.
Performance
Not bad. Bit gutless. Needs a good thwarping for any real enjoyment.

Living with it
Reliability
Had loads of problems with mine, especially electrical. Largest single bill so far from dealer £1175. Eats tyres, brakes, suspension and bushes (but gets a hard life).
Image
I still think of Peugeots as manky, smokey rattly old 205s. Do other people? Bought it simply because I've never had a V6.
Comfort
Seats are crap. Too easy too fall out when cornering.

Security and Service
Security
Standard seems pretty good, like the deadlocks.
Service
Dealers are rubbish. Stupid blondes on front desks like to argue. Never have any parts in stock. Incompetent mechanics (technicians?!) i.e took 4 days to fit fuel pump. Nothing wrong with old one!!
