1. No major issues. I'm one of the early owners. Some minor issues, all issues have been fixed on warranty. Mine is 4 years old now, engine sounds sweet and gb silky smooth. Very important to note,none of the issues have reoccured. On top of that, Peugeot has come up with sevice enhancement package, this will only further improve this cars already high reliablty!
2. Maintenace cost under $500 , each normal service.
3. Good all round car. Reliable for daily commute, comfortable & sprited drive for long distance!
Let me also give a small advice, my 2cents worth. This is a relatively high performance car. As such wear & tear will be higher than a normally aspritated model. On the long run, maintenance cost will add up. Something you should consider carefully. Anyway,more and more OEM parts are now coming into existance, this helps keep cost to a reasonable level.
If you are not prepared for this, then it is better to go for a Jap model.Long term maintenance will be lower than this car.
However if you want a reliable , efficient, spritted car to enjoy driving,this is the perfect car for you.
Thanks for the info , after test drive wife decided go for fiesta since herself will use it for daily commuting.
She feel smaller car easy to handle.
