Exterior
i have a PAL-peugeot 1.38D 1997 model, bought way back in 2004. has a powerful AC . can chill in summers. handling is good . shockers are fairly good. decent mileage of 17-18 kmpl with AC in city and 21-22 on highways. nice transmission, has the slickest of the gear shift, very soft and responsive nissan gearbox. very good front view for driving. to give you an idea about its sturdiness, let me proudly confess that i have travelled distant places like guwahati, agartala, silchar, bhubneswar from durgapur with this car and it has silently respected my words without failure. it is very easy to maintain and won’t drain your resources uselessly like todays most so called sophisticated boxes. Till date it can easily attain the speed of 100km/hr. rides are bit noisy at low speeds but becomes silent above 50KM/hr, and you can’t even feel it inside. the major problem is that it is rust prone and its suspension bushes worns out quickly(change at about 7000km).
spares parts are expensive( comparable with jeeps and tata/ nissan SUV) but u don’t have visit mechanics frequently like i have done with my troubled MARUTI ESTEEM).
