There’s really nothing special about Peugeot to live with the unreliability. If it was an Alfa Romeo I’d understand.

As other people mentioned, it’s still using an old engine which has been dumped by BMW. And the engine has nothing but proven shit reliability. I would agree if fan boys say it’s improved. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

A used harrier with the 2L turbo is great IMO. CRV, CX-5 turbo are all easily better choice. If you want that continental feel I think X1 pre-reg may be had for sub 200k — you got to check. I’d buy a Tiguan before I touch a Peugeot. I’d even buy a Geely Proton over a Peugeot.
