I would never buy another Peugeot (anything PSA). While I appreciate their styling (ever notice how some cars seems to age well: (Mercedes-Benz coupes, convertalbes) yet other marques (also German) are such a fashion accessory that no sooner has the first monthly installment been paid and it becomes dated (clue: Barvarian MW). The french automobiles seem to age nicely (like their wine) – the 406 coupe is testament to this, but fall short in their reliablility and service.

Seems unlike Hyundai who will replace absolutely anything claimed under warranty – no questions asked – the local importer (or dealer – still unsure which) refuse any claim. Peugeot should take a look around and see where their business is going.

The wheel names are the global names given to these particular wheels – they are not specific to the Australian market.

love it or hate it, peugeot brought a new style to the masses that most of the other brands are following now, even the current FPV front styling is inspired from a pug from a few years back.

i think aussie car designers must hate how boring and conservative the public is here.

the GTi is a great car to drive, very underated

207 pricing in mid-twenties – for a Ford Fiesta competitor sounds a bit over priced to me. This is Mazda 3 money. If you are after a smaller euro car in that price range, wait for the new VW Polo instead.

Somehow localised naming never works. Imagine in the UK a peugeot having a ‘Scarborough’ or ‘Bristol’ wheel option. Plain stupid.

Try the 1.6 diesel donk it’s a great engine evne in big cars like the C5 it pulls quite well. Ok 0-100 times are lethargic but in gear stonk is great fun.

Don’t agree, the French cars are way more avantgard than anything else on the market. No accounting for taste though.

So… the fog light are a bit sportier, everything else is just, invisible.

and yeah. That touch of “Australian flavour” with the wheels naming is really odd. I wouldn’t be happy if I lived in Brisbane.
