    Have never liked them Sandoval - simply because I have driven one a few times and had one and I just don't like there handling, and the engine wasn't great on the motorway at 70 MPH!

    My 1995 Pug 405 diesel had done 234k when I traded it in under scrappage last year. The engine was still strong and handling 20k a year. It also was comfortable to drive and handled well.

    Oh god, a Peugeot!

    Avoid it, do NOT touch.

    Peugeot have cr*ppy engines in them!

    the engines are the only good parts on peugeots. its all the other parts they put on them.
    peugeot engines get used in a lot of different applications,ive even seen some older ones in industrial machinery.

    My car has finally covered 3000 miles this week after 3 years, perhaps I should consider one of these cars... ;)

    I was looking at a deal with dealdrivers, I had to email them again when I realised that the Mrs did 15,000 not the initial "sure, it'll be under 10k!"

    Thing is, I had one 5-6 years ago, not only was the gearbox worn and the car had 50k on the clock but the engine felt as though it was pulling a horse!

    Also have had two others before this which I thought were poorly made, however in its favour, the body is very strong, well was on ones I had, don't know how well there made now (2000 onwards)

    One I had was like a tank the body, engine let it down for me
