Thanks guys that really helps the other car I was looking at was a Mitsubishi asx but I like this because of grip control etc, has anyone got the park assist and is it worth the extra?

I'm going to test drive one next Tuesday fingers crossed. Also , is it worth waiting for the 1.2 turbo? I was leaning to not waiting as I didn't think the economy or performance would be that different.

The only reason I am not getting diesel is because I don't do enough mile and with all these new infamous dfp filters I better get petrol.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I just need to find time to test drive one as i could not get to the local garage on tuesday =C. Still cant decide if I should wait until the new 1.2 turbo comes out but might be more expensive i guess.

Has anyone ever used carbuyer to buy a car? I did a qoute and they are selling the 1.6 Allure for just over 15k but it such a big saving I wonder if its too good to be true.

Cheers Geoff I will check it out

Another point is Geoff the hdi engine was designed and developed by Peugeot and is used by many manufcturers to power their cars including Ford, Vuahall, Volvo, BMW and others so that engine is also well tried and tested.

Just don't google 'DW6' (what the engine is known as) and 'turbo' unless you have the constitution of an Ox...



If anyone doesn't get there car serviced annually and within 12,500 miles they only have themselves to blame...

So maybe the normal 1.6 vti is the way forward , if i understand you are believe there will be problems with the turbo 1.2?

 

[tempest501]

No, the DW6 is the 1.6HDi - they defecate turbos if not serviced on the dot in the correct manner. It has a very small sump (3.5L) and a recessed plug both of which mean if the oil isn't changed properly too much remains and, eventually, destroys the turbo which ends up with a £2,500 bill to replace and clean everything properly (strainers, filters, turbo, feed pipes etc.).

I think the 1.2e-THP will be lovely - if peugeot had bothered keeping customers informed we might have waited...

Ty for the info. I keep swaying from going with the 1.6 vti or waiting for the 1.2 turbo lol its a nightmare as not sure how soon its coming and our local dealer could not confirm price either.

 

[tempest501]

Well I took one for a test drive but they only had the diesel and I was very impressed with the car and I am going to purchase one. I am going to wait for the 1.2 turbo though as even the dealer said it would be best to wait because will prob get that sooner due to a 8-10 week waiting list for 1.6 vti lol. Must be selling like hot cakes.

Another quick question, a friend of mine told me today that if i get my car on peugeots pcp that even if i pay the final amount I will have to keep paying a lease every year is this true? I always thought that once you pay final payment the car is yours. Sorry if this is a stupid question but first time I will be doing PCP my previous car was on 0% HP.

 

[tempest501]

So do you have to keep paying that for the entire time you have the vehicle? Also what would happen if you wanted to sell or do pcp with another dealer etc?

 

[tempest501]

Cheers frank, I will speak to them. I suppose if I am not intending to keep the car it does not matter. But I guess it does mean your stuck with that particular manufacturer.

Has anyone here done PCP before what happens at the end if you trade for the same car but new, do you have to put a big lump sum deposit down again?
