it's not a great engine, Peugeot was sued recently for it as it's quite unreliable. It might work fine for you, until it won't. The timing belt is soaked in oil for some unknown reason and this is why these engines fail.
Does the wear on this type of engine depend on the type of driving? Would it matter if you mainly drive in the city, on a flat road, on a highway or on a mountain road with elevation?
Honestly I wouldn’t even call it nitpicking. We are all adults so we understand trade offs. For instance, fixing the wobbly middle row adds weight to the seat mounts. Adding more weight here and there means needing a bigger engine. Needless to say the list can go on and on, and at the end of the day this car wouldn’t even be made.
Nah, i diagree with the leg room issue, im 1.72m tall and a set the front seat in my comfortable position and did the same for the middle seats and i could fit in the rearmost seats.
I own a Peugeot 5008, with the puretech 130, its a great engine, people think its underpowered, i dont think so, test one yourself and find out

You’re 5ft 6in mate , he’s 5ft 9ins - of course you’ve got more room. You’re much smaller.
