Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

As mentioned above, the new AC gas, if not used it 'leaks' our, though the system has no leaks. I'm having to regas every year, which is TERRIBLE for a new car. But the car will definitely give you a very good surprise. I would suggest to stay away from the smaller spec engines, e.g 1.6 are only made powerful by big turbos which are likely to go before the 2.0 ltr one (speculation of course). Back passengers are cramped of space, it can definitely be roomier because the boot is massive for a small hatch back. It also has all the options you want, it has spoilt me; rear parking camera, front parking sensors, bluetooth, DAB radio, but no CD. Sat nav, terrible unresponsive infortainment screen (which is missing the letter 'V'). It has a firm ride, but I like that, so with the right tyres it bites into a corner. Fuel economy is really good, but the trip computer stops calculating this at 6504 miles (only they know why). The painted wheels are rubbish, should have been left as mare aluminium, the paint comes off, much much worse when kerbed (ouch). I'll be buying another Peugeot, but a 508 next just because of the space behind. This is really good car in my book.

How reliable do you find the car?

My clutch failed, but I would put it down to the fact that it was a hire vehicle before I had it. The pully for the AC compressor belt did fail. However, with the new AC gas, if not used it 'leaks' our, though the system has no leaks. I'm having to regas every year, which is TERRIBLE for a new car.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

I always looked at Peugeots as rubbish, I even dissuaded a friend to buy one before I bought mine :(. However, having driven it during a test drive, I was blown away by its quiet sound, firm drive (I like) and it's punch. Very good interior quality as well.
