Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Considering the equipment it offers as standard it offers good value compared to rivals. Fiat are also keen to offer discounts.
Costs
1st service was about £160.00, which is not too bad as much of this seems to be the pollen filters.

On the road
Driving
For an MPV it is quite amazing, it handles just like a car.
Performance
Given the engine size and the fact it is an auto box, it has good performance and is quite refined.

Living with it
Reliability
It has always been fine, only a few niggles with electrical problems, but these were non essential items.
Image
Has a modern look which makes up for it being a MPV, lot's of gadgets.
Comfort
It has everything to make you comfortable, our's also has electric heated seats and three sunroofs.
-
Security and Service
Security
Has all the usual features, alarm, immobiliser, auto locking doors, security register database for window etching.
Service
Dealers OK but lack knowledge of some of the technical aspects. Apparently this is due to it being a new model and lack of technical information from the Peugeot factory where they are made.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Very smooth and quiet, fuel consumption about 27mpg on average which is reasonable for the size and being a auto.
Other
Don't be fooled by Fiat image, these cars are built on the same production line as the Citroen C8 and Peugeot 807 using the same parts and same workforce. The engines are actually all Peugeot units. The Fiat was cheaper though.
