Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It's not the drive of your life as the ride isn't composed and you can't see the bonnet from the driver's seat. The mpg figures were disappointing with an average of 36 for a 67 litre tank.
What's it like to park?
You'll need to buy the optional front parking sensors otherwise the nose is invisible.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The brake's squeal on the front driver's side and there is no absorption on bumps resulting in a very unsettled ride. The tailgate doesn't open fully despite four gas struts. The rear door catches look like those off the old 205 and their pins wear.
What's most practical about your car?
The panoramic sunroof allows light in but how much would it cost to repair it?
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
The multi-media kit includes Sat. Nav./CD disc-changerand GSM phone is great but costs a manic £1650.
