Hi there, finally I went with the Pug..the Ford was just too tight at the back for ppl to sit. I'm looking for a daily car not just weekend car so that was a big factor. Another factor is the suspension is too stiff for the Ford. I find the Pug perfect balance for our not so good roads. I touge occasionally and the Pug is a lot of fun on b roads.

As an actual owner myself and my friend who wrote this blog:
https://routehunters.co/2018/06/the-peugeot...-70000km-later/

We have no complaints with regards to the reliability and maintenance cost. Almost all of the faults are known and covered under warranty and not take longer than 1/2 days to fix.

Personally I have only changed the thermostat housing, the two front absorbers and that's it..66k km going strong and almost 5 years. Also note that the warranty is extended until 7 years even if u bought second hand.

Lastly, my friend who wrote the blog above have since then passed 160k km with no major faults reported.
