    Value

    5 out of 5 5.0

    So many out there makes used models a bargain

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Some parts unduly expensive and quoted Peugeot dealership labour charges not good eg lower pulley on HDi quoted as 8 hours at Peugeot dealership. I got mine done by a Peugeot trained independent 2 1/ 2 hours labour rate. Why?

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Pleasant to drive on any journey long or short

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    As diesels go satisfactory, but Toyota Avensis D-4D has the upper hand

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Not as smooth as the Toyota Avensis D-4D or as quick to respond under foot but in terms of ride comfort I think it has the edge.

    Other

    Fuel claims over exaggerated. I've driven this car all over the U.K. and can't get anywhere near the suggested fuel figures. A works colleague has the 110 BHP ""02"" reg and backs this up.
