Brilliant no nonsense family car with loads of useful storage, plenty of leg room for rear seat passengers, easy to keep clean, very light and airy interior, and a decent sized boot for all the things you carry with a family.

2004 Peugeot Partner HDI 2.0 from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Excellent example of small delivery van

Faults:

Rear Fog light switch broke at 1000 miles.

General Comments:

Bought this van new and spent extra to get the HDI engine.

This engine is vastly superior to the standard 1.9 and I would highly recommend you test drive this version.

Loads of space, very comfortable, handles and rides like a car.

Hi mate, I've got an HDi, the ECUs been remapped to 120 bhp and it's unbeliveable. It'll do 115 mph.

LOL it was a bit.

2005 Peugeot Partner Urbana 1.4 gas from Argentina

Summary:

Huge, cheap, economic and low quality mini-van

Faults:

The front train was all loose.

General Comments:

I just bought this car on may 27 2005.

As soon as I took it home I felt something wrong with the front train. I ask for an appointment to have it checked by a different dealer (according to Peugeot this is OK). They found that the whole front train was loose, a mistake from the factory (that obviously no quality control was carried out).

The car is really big. The engine is low-powered, but it also has low fuel consumption. On the city I get around 13KM/l. On highway I get 15KM/l at 110KM/h. Just great for the use I bought it for.

As of a design critic, it has lots of storage compartments, but too few between the two front seats.

The back seats are really easy to fold.

I'm just hoping that there are no further quality problems with this car.

Due to the problem with the front train I wouldn't recommend it, since the chance of dying in an accident in a highway due to this poor quality control seemed to big to me.

Update:

- At 5500Km it started to make a loud noise when rpm go under 1500 and the gas pedal is fully pressed.

- At 6500Km the "engine" amber light went on. After having it checked at a dealer, they told me it the computer reported a start problem, but only once. They will only start any repair after a second problem or a recurrent problem.

- At 9700Km I have the first service. Everything seems to work fine now.

Hi mate I just bought a com bi and when I read your comment about the front train gone can you tell me what this is please thank u.

The front train was not "tight" (I don't know how to express this in english, sorry). They tighten the screws (sort of speak) to fix it.

Finally I sold my Partner. In the later days, at 92000 km the transmission on the left front wheel started to make a noise when I turn left. Luckily I sold it before I had to replace it.

2004 Peugeot Partner 1.9 diesel from Cyprus

Summary:

Excellent overall van

Faults:

Speakers went bad, wheel covers lost their color.

General Comments:

City performance good. Slow on highway. Road stability average to good. Engine, suspension and brakes very reliable. High speed braking not very stable as it has no ABS and no disk brakes on the rear.

Lots of space in the back. Doors and locks just fine.

Overall price vs what you get this van is an excellent choice.

2001 Peugeot Partner Van diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

A very functional, practical, hard wearing and comfortable van

Faults:

Two injectors failed at separate times, expensive to replace.

Intermittent wipers didn't work.

Immobilser occasionally played up, causing it not to start a few times.

Two exhausts in 5 months.

All three door locks became worn and started sticking.

General Comments:

Traveling an average of 200 miles a day, I was always comfortable in the seat.

It has loads of storage space in the front, much more than any other van I have driven.

Very good driving position and visibility, excellent controls except for the gear change (typical of peugeot).

This van is slow and very boring on the motorway, but it's nippy enough to enjoy driving around town. It's surprisingly agile on twisty roads and grips and handles well.

It drives pretty well fully loaded.

I did 17000 miles in 4 months, and pushed it to the limit constantly. Considering the mileage when I got it, it stood up very well - I would highly recommend it.

Hi mate, I've got a Partner HDi and I love it. It's chipped to 120 bhp, it's got unbelievable performance in the midrange.

Hi.

I've just bought my second Peugeot Partner van and (first a '99 - this one an '04) and both have exactly the same problem. A strong smell of anti-freeze when you turn the heater on. Anyone else get a similar problem?
