  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Residuals great. I sold this car for £1500 less than I paid after 12 months and 36,000 miles!

    Costs

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Servicing a little pricey, but nothing ever went wrong - so no extras.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Long legs - a very relaxing and practical long distance cruiser.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Loads of midrange oomph from the Turbo.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    5 out of 5 5.0

    I only owned this car for a year as an ex-fleet vehicle, once I'd had the things put right that fleet servicing had neglected, I never had a prolem.

    Understated - you are successful but aren't keen to shout aout it.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Great in the front, but putting adults in the back for long distances was a chore.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Driver's door locks easily broken as I found to my cost.

    Service

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Better than my last 12 years with Peugeot, but I still felt seriously overcharged for labour.
