2008 Peugeot Partner 4x4 1.6 HDI turbo diesel

Summary:

Too poorly built!!!

Faults:

Nothing has GONE wrong, it was wrong from the beginning.

General Comments:

There are so little space in the cabin that you can't adjust the seat (the drivers seat, the passenger seat is not adjustable) more than millimeters. There was no way to sit comfortably at all.

There are no place to put your things, e.x. keys etc.

The engine is powerful for its size, but when the rpm goes over 3500/m there is absolutely nothing more coming out of it. Compared to other diesels, this is not impressive.

The thing that annoyed me the most was the <windshield washer fluid squirt>. There are two "squirters" (don't know what it's called in English) which gives two mini squirts on the windshield. Already they give way too little fluid. But when driving over 40kmh these mini squirts are obstructed by the wind so they actually hit the windshield below the area covered by the wipers. So, I adjusted them to hit higher up, but to make them squirt at the right place when driving, they had to hit over the area covered by the wipers when the car is standing still.. In addition to this, only one of the two rear windows have a <washer fluid squirt>.

I had the car through my job, I discontinued it quickly, but if this had been my own car I would have driven back to Peugeot and said that this is a too poorly engineered car, and that I don't want to own it.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

Just I'd like to said, this is the worst car that I have never driven before. The car is off the company (2002), and since that I started to drive this crap, I got a lot of fails in only 4 months:

Alternator strap (replaced twice in less than 120.000 km), the engine of the windshield doesn't work, the door-handle got broken (the door-handle of the back door as well), alternator pulley got broken... etc. Everything is plastic.. very bad quality. And the 70cv... in two words.. bull crap.

And the dust is filtered towards inside (the worst problem).
