Living with it
Reliability
3 safety call-backs in 2 years, plus back brake pads were worn by faulty calipers. Exhaust after 3 years and alternator belt(??) after 3 years. Far too many problems.
Image
Nice looking car. Pity about the dealer (Dutton Forshaw) and the engine problems.
Comfort
Front seats very comfy, but not too much room in the back (more space in a Fiesta). For a family car, you are stuck as there is no room in the boot after a pushchair is in there.

Security and Service
Security
Deadlocks are good idea. Alarm should be as standard on the higher specs!
Service
Absolutely awful. Couldn't get the colour of the car right as a start, then Peugeot Finance took installments from someone else's bank account. Service department never kept to their times.
