    An extremely average car. Ride is nice but really unreliable and typical of Peugeot in recent years. 6/10

    Boot is too small to take a set of golf clubs. It's not wide enough.

    Well that's one thing in its favour.

    Handles like a big floaty barge, you have no idea where the front corners of the car are and you sit on top of the seat rather than in it.

    It's right up there with the Nissan Primera in my opinion, but at least the Primera rarely broke down.

    I've got a 04 1.6 hdi with 81k and find it powerful for a 1.6 and I'm getting around mid 50's in mpg...:)
    The are good bargins out there at the moment...if youre going to buy a diesel be aware that around 90-100k the Dmf's and Dpf's can cause problems...:eek:
    other than that lower balljoints and abs sensors can give trouble...:rolleyes:

    the father has one, a 1.8 2005 from new. no major issues with it at all. (he had a nissan bluebird and honda prelude previously so likes reliability:D) a few small software issues that were fixed under warranty are the only things that spring to mind. very good value too atm!!!

    Only consider the HDi diesel models, the petrol models are nothing special and very hard to shift afterwards.
