Summary
What does this car say about you?
Go girl!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
It looks good and is fast.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No. Peugeot garages are useless, electrical wiring is messy, ECU is not reprogrammable so if it goes wrong you'll need a brand new one and peugeot will be laughing. There is this common problem with engine cutting, I got lots of answers on internet.
What are you likely to buy next?
Don't know yet

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It is fun to drive on straight lines, and on the motor way and the engine is fairly quiet. It feels heavy and gears are a bit stiff; it handles corners very poorly. The power delivered on lower gears was not what I expected from an engine of that size, but it accelerates very well once it's up and going. I also find it quite thirsty for the its size.
What's it like to park?
OK

What's most practical about your car?
Hum....
