Summary
What does this car say about you?
Probably that i`m a bit boring,it`s the Liberal Democrat of cars,never says anything worth listening too.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It`s a big blue estate car....nuff said.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Possibly,the last of the run out models were loaded with kit and it would be the 110bhp.
What are you likely to buy next?
I`m looking at Alfa`s,yeh i know heart ruling the head but they look amazing,I know deep down it wouldn`t last at my job or be as reliable,but after this car what would...

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Still typical Peugeot,smooth and refined,underpowered but I knew that before I bought it.
What's it like to park?
A doddle,it`s big but vision is good all round(easier than my last saloon 406).

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Sticking caliper on rear....that`s it,considering I totally abuse this car for my work i`m amazed it`s so reliable. It`s never even been serviced in over 26,000 miles but it doesn`t feel like it,economy is incredible.
What's most practical about your car?
It`s an estate,you can`t get more practical than that,it just does everything you ask of it,I moved house with it and it took everything apart from the suite....!!!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Decent CD player.
