GTi 180 is a capable car with a sexual interior.

180 Handles well and as said, the interior is nice. Needs thrashing VERY hard to perform how it is intended, great fun when it's not your car but I wouldn't fancy it's chances if you did it on a daily basis. They have had a fair few engine problems, a lot of which are centered around the VVT system. I quite like them but wouldn't be paying £10k for one.

Can you not read? I said in my initial post that they have had problems with the VVT system. Sadly I'm not a Peugeot master tech so I can't quote you part numbers, nor can I offer you a personal guarantee that all vehicles are affected. I can, however, tell you that my mother's was horrendously unreliable and lasted 5 weeks before it was returned to the dealer. My sister’s boyfriend also had similar running issues although his were resolved by the dealer. I'm pleased your uncle’s car has been reliable but please pull your head out of your arse and understand that not every vehicle needs to be affected for a problem to be widespread

No, The dealers response called it widespread. You are clearly a tool so I an not going to waste any more of my life arguing with you.

why am i a tool? because you have no evidence to prove there is ANY widespread problem other than some no brain dealer.
lets not forget the amount of re-calls Vauxhall have had to do ehh?
