General Comments:

I brought my car from Peugeot in Cyprus and as a result have experienced untold problems with dealers, they just don't want to know.

Good car, lots of nice gadgets, some useful, some not, and in the end more to go wrong.

Make this car reliable on it would be a great car.

Faults:

A suspected electrical fault caused the engine to catch fire.

General Comments:

I am of the opinion that this car is a risk to drive.

The engine and all electrical parts failed whilst I was driving and then the engine caught fire.

Faults:

Whine in 3rd gear. (Unresolved)

Folding mirrors sometimes erratic.

Turbo blew at 6 months old. (Fixed after 6 week wait for parts)

Suspension rattles. (Fixed)

Door handles jammed in temperatures over 40 degrees Celsius and the trim falls off them.

Clutch and flywheel failure at 50000 miles (Fixed after 3 week wait for parts)

Carpet and door trim falling off. (Unresolved)

New turbo now reported as noisy by dealer. (awaiting decision on whether to replace.)

General Comments:

A lovely, comfortable car to drive and be in.

I get 40 miles per gallon which I think OK for a heavy car.

Repairs all under warranty so cheap for me, but will be a risk when warranty lapses.

Delays for parts unacceptable.

Faults:

Rear seat strap release broken.

Driver door carpet comes out of trim.

5 disc CD player stopped working.

Nearside rear door handle broken.

All of the above problems were fixed immediately by our dealer.

General Comments:

With the SE model every electrical option has worked from day one and are all still working without any problems.

Automatic head-lights, windscreen-wipers & folding wing-mirrors are amazing inventions!

Handles at speed better than a 3-series. The 205/55 x R15 help I'm sure.

Better spec on our £15k car than my brother-in-laws £36k 5-series.

Managed to get 30 cases of wine in recently (with all 5 seats removed) & the boot was still only half full.

We are getting an average of 42mpg even with lots of short journeys.

I also believe that we have the best dealer in the UK at Gillingham, Dorset.

Faults:

Rear window replaced, heater strip faulty.

Problem with oil level indicator sensor, replaced with modified unit, control unit also replaced; and soldered connections made.

N/S/R door handle replaced (Twice)!.

Door trim replaced, (Kept falling off)

Spare key replaced/reprogrammed.

Squeak from CD changer (Unresolved)

Gearbox whines on over-run.. worse than a land-rover (Unresolved)

Vibration through drivers floor-pan when engine cold (Unresolved)

Air conditioning mists up screen if turned off (Unresolved)

Engine smokes heavily under acceleration (Unresolved)

General Comments:

Nice looking car, but seriously let down by two major niggles. The blind spot created by the sweep of the windscreen supports is bad enough, but the 5 inch band which the wipers don’t reach on the right hand side of the windscreen is ridiculous and positively dangerous. My local dealer adjusted them and said ‘everyone complains about that.’ Why don’t Peugeot provide windscreen wipers designed for right hand drive?

The clunk from the rear suspension on slightly bumpy roads when you have people or luggage in the back indicates the suspension simply isn’t good enough. Come on Peugeot, beef the suspension up to a decent standard.
