tweaked mine. uprated the suspension bushes and added a rear chassis brace and it transformed it. gt200 stock was rolling roaded at 218 bhp and apparently, most are around 210-220 stock going by the dyno people. absolutely love mine and it would be hard to replace it has character and is a joy to drive and its 10 years old this year.
Peugeot always had the huge potetial to be really be atthe top of the game. It has the tradition. The pedigree. The looks. The dynamics. But it never pushed the boundaries hard enough and hence always falls short to true greatness. With this however,shows how Peugeut can finally climb the prestige rungs like how the Audi TT did for its brand.
The Audi TT is ther first thing I tohought of when seeing this new model from the front. The lines are similar. That said, this is potentially the one and only Peugeot's I'd ever consider buying.
@Psgpimp16 You have to rememebr that the mind remembers what its seen first, we dont get the Peugeot in the states and this si the first time ive seen the peugeot facelift.
this car look fantastic, although the front look exactly the same as the 308, which is a bit of a let down. All Peugeot need to do now is a GTI version of the RCZ
Such a shame TBH the back and that roof like amazing and then u stick on the front of a 308? i mean wtf WHY~!?. If it had a unique front end this would have being a very pretty car.
Where's the performance? In a time, the first in decades, performance is once again what drives these vehicles. Not a f real fan of Peugeot due to it's lack there of, I am un familiar with what they have for performance engines. Does Peugeot have any plans to upgrade the engine for this obvious suitable platform? Mike In Montana
"pure fun" is outdated now. Comfort comes in and cars get tamed generation after generation. The vast majority of car buyers are not geeks but the vast majority of reviewers are...especially since youtube.
if you dont like it, then don't buy one, there will be lots more cars coming out of peugeot in the coming years. IMO this car's good, the looks may be a bit un original but the specs are good! it also has a sporty version but my 1007 is still the best!!!! :)
wow it seems peugot want to get in the spotlight very good atempt they need to work on that front grill and make it a supercar give a beefy engine like a turbocharged 3 litre v6 or a v8 strech the car abit give it quad tips and wo knows can be better than an r8
Who told Peugeot that the stupid smile they have been using on every car since the 206 looks good?? I hate the smile, its ridiculous! The rear end looks mean and im sure the interior will look nice but that front.. just ruins it a little for me.
@rubenvalente aggressive? that front looks like a furious gnome, that's what's wrong... it's ugly. If this car had a shorter tail, was a 2 seater without those bubbles at the top and had a different front (without that horrendous gaping grille and elephant nose) it could be a winner. Like this is just another Peugeot...
the RCZ is good but firstly there is no keyless entry, also the peddles are so light and there is only a 1.6 engine, ok with up to 200hp but for the money it does get good miles per gallon... I will wait until it has more extras in the car and more power in the car, plus the back seats? who are they kidding? no one could fit in them things! they should just remove them, though because its a coupe I would by this over the z4 and slk any day

the back and middle section of the car are beautiful
@Chaos8749 yes the front is a little the sameee as the other peugeot but back is a master piece
@Chaos8749 Yeah, they need the same curves on the back to be at the front...
The Audi TT is ther first thing I tohought of when seeing this new model from the front. The lines are similar.
That said, this is potentially the one and only Peugeot's I'd ever consider buying.
Definitely a head-turner sports car.
looks very good
@Psgpimp16 You have to rememebr that the mind remembers what its seen first, we dont get the Peugeot in the states and this si the first time ive seen the peugeot facelift.
Pardon my inherent ignorance of Peugeots, but is this front or rear wheel drive?
rear suspension I think is not torsion beam, its peugeot's independent suspension
That rear window looks cool but would be a pain to replace if anything ever happened to it.
this car look fantastic, although the front look exactly the same as the 308, which is a bit of a let down.
All Peugeot need to do now is a GTI version of the RCZ
I don't like Peugeot that much, but this car looks awesome!
306's are great fun to drive
nice 207 cabrio
This look like a car that or love it or hate it.
Surely the Peugeot Partner combi was the first 'car' to not have a zero in it's name
@007bondspy Wise words mate, wise words.
gorgeous design
I think it looks like a TT MK1 from the side, 308 from the front and Nissan 350z from the back
Why not sling a bit more money in it and put it up against the RX-8's or Audi TT's? Rather than an MX-5 etc
Say double bubble ten times fast...try on a straight jacket
Like the roof, the front Mazda and Mitzubishi got it on
Such a shame TBH the back and that roof like amazing and then u stick on the front of a 308? i mean wtf WHY~!?.
If it had a unique front end this would have being a very pretty car.
amazinggggggggggg
this guy is fine. look up jean jennings of automobile magazine if you want to see a bad reviewer
Where's the performance?

what the HELL is with that building in the end ?! O_O
i hear perfectly

@7wen7y20 sorry about the 's (forgot to del.)

boxer and partner also dont have a '0' in their name
buying one....i have 206...but this will be mine...
mazda much?
Buy*
2 bad they did use the normal standard peugeot front..
Who told Peugeot that the stupid smile they have been using on every car since the 206 looks good?? I hate the smile, its ridiculous! The rear end looks mean and im sure the interior will look nice but that front.. just ruins it a little for me.
that guy is such a bellend, chris harris should do all the autocar reviews
@Chaos8749 ..probably a bit like you
double bubble
wow they really should have changed the front
Mazda? What are you talking about? Mazda copied Peugout's recent desing language, not the other way around.
still looks like any other peugeot from the front tho
Its Still A Peugeot
They should just rename it the Peugeot TT.
bell end returns
@rubenvalente aggressive? that front looks like a furious gnome, that's what's wrong... it's ugly.

Like this is just another Peugeot...
not bad looking....
wtf this guy is a quentin wilson clone! its like watching old top gear all over again!
eeew , looks like a mix of the old audi tt , the roof is copied from the carrera sport classic and the hood from a 5series
@lead111 and?, who cares?
I prefer to buy a car because of how they make me feel, not because of some badge.
So much attention to detail.. yet the front looks exactly like a 308. Which is one butt-ugly mess.
i dont like it, the 206 and 207 are comparatively better in every way.
back windows should have stayed in the concept, eww.
I don't like andrew frankel's awkward posture and gesticulations

What aload of old tosh..
the RCZ is good but firstly there is no keyless entry, also the peddles are so light and there is only a 1.6 engine, ok with up to 200hp but for the money it does get good miles per gallon... I will wait until it has more extras in the car and more power in the car, plus the back seats? who are they kidding? no one could fit in them things! they should just remove them, though because its a coupe I would by this over the z4 and slk any day
nope, think that's just you.
looks like an audi TT
sexy
anybody else notice that it looks like a chevrolet hhr? it's revolting.
@scootosan Mazda copied Peugeot's face
The double bubble roof doesn't look that cool!
1:12 is that a clown? Just wish they would get rid of that stupid Circus Clown's face on the front... Make it look meaner...
UFFFFFFFFFFFFF
IT'S Not powerful enough for me
Peugeot sports car fail.
Audi TT forever.
the front is really ugly... Typical Peugeot :P
Fail. Why would anyone buy this car? Front is ugly, i can live with the rear and the power isnt that great either.
Who the hell wants a car that sets their hair on fire?
This car is reviewed by the most boring man in England. Shouldn't you be at home doing Sudoku mate?
Is this a World record attempt for the most annoying presenter ever?
Wannabe Audi TT and french "quality"
As opposed to Audi's German quality! 😂
saw one of these today. looks shit
Horrible rear window, not enough engine, too expensive. I preffer a Golf GTI
