First week of Ownership

Had the car for nearly a week now.

Things I like:

1) Its a Diesel - still half a tank left after 400 miles :beer:
2) Nice, smooth engine which is quick - even though I'm taking it easy at the moment :eusa-think:
3) Folding Mirrors - really useful reversing into my garage :thumbup:
4) Auto Lights Function :idea:
5) Analogue Clock - just like looking at it :roll:
6) Weeks Free Insurance from Peugeot. Well handy when taxing / changing own insurance :clap:
7) Parking Sensors really useful
8) Boot and storage "under" boot really good
9) Rear seats - good laugh when people try to get in / out (bit of a phaff with leccy seats though)
10) Rain-x works really well on the front / rear screens


Things I don't like:

1) Only 1 CD at a time
2) Cruise Control / Speed Limiter position. Used once, probably won't bother again
3) Phaffing with the Intermittent windscreen wipe control
4) Door really needs a slam to shut properly. Spent the first couple of days driving off with the door open
5) Squeaky arm rest thing in the centre console. Seems to have sorted itself out now
6) SMALL glovebox
7) Steering wheel too big. The smaller one would have been a wise purchase
8) No 12v plug that is constantly on when the vehicle is off / locked.


Overall, nice car and enjoying the drive.
Once I've cleared 1k miles, start opening up a little more to around 3k miles. Then it's "open for business" ;)
Should be nice on dry, fast country roads with the nice big tyres.

Pretty good summary - think I'd agree with most of that.

Re: the CD, have you tried the USB interface - I've stuck a load of albums on a memory stick, and it's like a great big multichanger (with the bonus that the folder/track names are displayed on the screen).

I also especially like the brakes - plenty of feel, and they really inspire confidence.

I've got a small MP3 player in there, works very well with the radio listing function and track selection - who needs a CD player - well OK me :dance:

Your list will grow, the number one should be the attention the car draws - it's certainly at the top of mine. :clap: :cool: ;)
