Disappointing

Car is a disappointment, living with the car has highlighted how unrefined the car is , especially at low speed when stopping in traffic or simply parking due to the grabby brakes and gearbox Compounded by the worst start stop system I have ever experienced in a car.

The ride quality is just too firm and dosent suit the car , it improves at speed but so does the road noise. The 1.2 puretech is very loud under acceleration but pretty quiet overwise and dosent really feel underpowered .

But the worst part for me is the build quality , as although Peugeot use some nice materials it's just really poorly built. The car just feels badly engineered , my particular car went back to the dealer to correct a significat manufacturing paint fault after covering only 450 miles!
The software is fine but unreliable and the peugeot app sporadic.

I changed from a German brand after falling for Peugeots marketing aspirations of manufacturing premium cars. They are no where near, I regret my decision and would not purchase Peugeot or indeed stellantis again based on my experience.
