Nice

What's it like to drive?

Pretty good when it wasn't losing power

What's it like to park?

Easy for a big car.

Have you had any problems with the car?

On top of the usual £500+ Mots and Servicing costs: the engine would go into a limiter mode from time to time, pollen filter messages popping up at random, the tensioner buckled and the belt snapped (leaving me stranded), the starter motor died (leaving me starnded) and then whilst driving along the engine caught on fire. Neither Peugeot or the Insurance companies engineers know why... But it is a write off.

What's most practical about your car?

The boot and the seats, very versatile

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Climate Control was nice.
