A piece of art badly backed
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine management failed in a box junction. The AA had to move the vehicle which caused a huge tailback.
Fan belt squeaking.
Dash rattles.
Back seat retension bar rubbing on the seat.
Anti-roll bar at the front and rear became loose.
Squeaky brakes.
Gruff sounding engine after three days of ownership.
Engine mounts went, causing a tapping/knocking noise when you start the engine or go over a bump.
Dealer fitted spoiler came off while I was driving.
General comments?
Completely poor car, I spoke to a person at Peugeot customer services. He told me that I had only paid £12,000. That is what you get; it is not a Rolls Royce.
Dealers were poor.
In the end, I sold the car and purchased a nice Fiesta Zetec-S.
Car is badly designed and backed by both the manufacturer and dealers.
A real shame for such a nice little car.

Kyseinen artikkeli on mauttomasti kopioitu lähdettä ilmoittamatta englantilaisesta autokommenttipalvelusta.
Englannissa Peugeotin maahantuoja ja varsinkin jälleenmyyjät ovat täysin ammattitaidotonta porukkaa. Siellä autoon tullutta vikaa ei saada kuntoon millään ja siksi Peugeotin maine (varsinkin teknisen kestävyyden) on Englannissa aivan surkea. Se näkyy tuossa arvostelussakin...
No, ajakoot engelsmannit Vauxhalleillaan (Opel) ja Fordeillaan... ovat ilmeisen vähään tyytyväisiä :-)
vielä Austin, eikös olekin?
Tässä vähän kommennteja loordien murteella:
"Black, suicide doors
rear 'jump' seats
right hand drive
modified engine; now a 6 cylender ford engine and trans
fully functional
meter works
comes with tow hitch ( bolts on to front of taxi to tow taxi behind another vehicle)
many parts new or gone over, needs nothing mechanical
body straight, no rust on fender/quarter panel, little rust on doors
interior nice but not mint"

Niin että löytyy sitä lystiä jos sitä kaivataan...
