2005 Peugeot Partner Urbana review from Argentina
"Huge, cheap, economic and low quality mini-van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front train was all loose.
General comments?
I just bought this car on may 27 2005.
As soon as I took it home I felt something wrong with the front train. I ask for an appointment to have it checked by a different dealer (according to Peugeot this is OK). They found that the whole front train was loose, a mistake from the factory (that obviously no quality control was carried out).
The car is really big. The engine is low-powered, but it also has low fuel consumption. On the city I get around 13KM/l. On highway I get 15KM/l at 110KM/h. Just great for the use I bought it for.
As of a design critic, it has lots of storage compartments, but too few between the two front seats.
The back seats are really easy to fold.
I'm just hoping that there are no further quality problems with this car.
Due to the problem with the front train I wouldn't recommend it, since the chance of dying in an accident in a highway due to this poor quality control seemed to big to me.
