Economy
Value
Falls down a bit here on economy. My motorway driving is getting realistically 48ish mpg. Got all the toys, 1/2 leather, climate, cruise control, auto headlights and wipers and they all work!
Costs
Yet to find out. The service is coming up and it needs a new anti roll bar link and new brake pads and discs. Otherwise fine or so I believe..…

On the road
Driving
Being a previous owner of a 306 Diesel (non turbo) this is a vast step up. The power delivery is smooth (much more pleasant than the Gold PD's) and effortless. Definitely worth a look. Very good for motorway cruising.
Performance
Not as quick as a Golf 130 but very good mid range, 60 in 10.5 seconds, plenty fast enough. Easy driving for the motorway.

Living with it
Reliability
Don't really no yet. So far so good. Should have had main problems fixed in warranty.
Image
Very good looking car (in Aegean blue) with big wheels (standard). Always catches the eye.
Comfort
Everyone likes the half leather front sport seats with armrests! Very comfy and the ride is excellent. Bit firm around town on the 17"" D-Turbo version wheels

Security and Service
Security
Hasn't been broken into yet, comes with an alarm and deadlock as standard on this model, so no worries.
Service
Couldn't say have it done privately by family friend. Peugeot main dealer far too expensive
