Two factory recalls for faulty door locks, can't adjust headlamp rake (it's automatic adjust based on car load) which makes mid range viewing very poor. Dashboard satnav speed limit occasionally differs to that on the satnav itself therefore don't trust it. The biggest let down, practically theft, is the MPG. On a very steady run to Scotland doing approximately 60mph, the best I could achieve was 55.6mpg rather than 72, average combined is 41.5. I've been reading a report by the AA, and the average shortfall from government figures has now decreased from 16% to a shocking 40%!!!! I am a careful driver, car is a 150bhp 2ltr 308 GT line Automatic.

Grips road well but feels every bump. Seats very comfortable.

All in all a good looking car but total rubbish mpg, which given the fact that the MPG was a main purchasing factor, makes me feel that Peugeot should be investigated in a similar manner to VW.
