Economy
Value
Paid £7300 at 9 months old/14K .Sneaked a look at dealers paperwork that shows they pay Peugeot £6200 for them at this age. Best buy at this age with 3 year warranty intact.
Costs
Paid £125 for 20K service. Manages 53mpg on a 130mile commute/40 round town. Now at 28K and tyres showing little wear, I reckon they will last 45-50K.

Living with it
Reliability
1 minor fault due to a failed spring in the oil filter caused oil pressure loss at idle. Dealer knew about this problem and fixed it promptly.
Image
Small Estate, but massively versatile as a result. Only 200mm longer than hatch but boot must be twice as big. Easy to get a wheelchair in and the shopping too, which was almost impossible with the hatchback.
Comfort
Pedals a bit weird, seats not the best. Rear visibility good. Reversing lights too high up to be useful.
