Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Fantastic value secondhand due to V6 model's huge depreciation in first 12 - 18 months.
Costs
20,000 mile service intervals and better than expected economy. Average of 28.5 mpg over last 5000 miles. Peugeot's latest V6 is significantly more economical than the pre-2000 version.

Driving
Excellent. Beautifully smooth and quiet engine. Very comfortable, fluid ride and nicely balanced handling.
Performance
Superb. 210bhp in a sober looking family estate is great fun and surprises many a BMW, Mercedes, Audi etc.
