What is your opinion about the car? Performance? Handling?

[@autosnob]

It's easily one of the best handling cars I've ever driven, which is remarkable given its FWD platform. Steering feel is fantastic and mid corner throttle adjustability allows you to rotate the rear end very controllably. It's not fast, particularly by modern car standards, and you really have to rev the 1.9L out to extract power. But it sounds like the race detuned motor that it is which contributes the specialness of the driving experience. Clutch and gearshift feel are perfect, as is pedal placement for heel / toe shifts. The only real letdown is braking which never felt great in mine. On the whole, I would rate it a 9/10 as a driver's car and one that is actually quite comfortable and practical to boot. I don''t say that lightly, having owned a number of high performance cars.

@@tomdtom5407 It was and you will never see one Peugeot on the road because it was such a junk. I'm originally from Europe and I know very well what junk german, italian and french cars are.

@@dr.jillalicecooper2587 well, you can see lots of 504 with over 1.000.000 kms in Northern Africa, so not all the cars are junk, especially older ones, that includes old Mercedes and BMWs. Just for curiosity, search the price of a Peugeot 205 GTI ( 80s car) in the UK.

Normal driving title? LOL Like it is a 900hp racing monster not a 150hp "sporty" version of frenchy econo family sedan.
