Peugeot Partner Combi
The Peugeot Partner Combi is a panel van based MPV that’s robust and durable, but spacious and comfortable at the same time. Such conversions have proved very popular with individuals who want practicality and versatility, both of which are offered in abundance with this auto. It’s decent value for money as well.
In production between 2001 and 2008, the Partner Combi boasted some strong sales figures around Europe. With 5 seats, the van DNA actually gives this car its best feature- space. The cabin is huge, and even tall individuals can be accommodated. With a front wheel drive setup, it’s easy to drive, and a variety of different engines give it some lively performance.
There’s no getting away from the original van shape, and Peugeot hasn’t tried to cover it up which is refreshing to see. Too many cars of this ilk try to pretend they’re something else and look silly. It does look hardy and commercial though, so might not be to everyone’s tastes. However when you get inside, the reason for buying one soon becomes apparent. The cabin is massive in size, but is finished to a good standard too. Comfortable seats arranged in a 2+3 layout are good for any length of journey. A massive 624 litre boot can swallow pretty much anything that’s offered up to it.
For a taller car, there’s minimal body roll, and actually the Peugeot handles rather well. It’s entertaining in the corners and capable on motorways as well. The soft ride makes it like any other people carrier, and you get a sense of surefootedness. Engines range from 1.4 and 1.9 litre petrols to the stand out 2.0 litre diesel that performs very well indeed. It’s not particularly fast, but it’ll get there in a lively fashion.
Getting hold of a bargain used Peugeot Partner Combi is simple as there’s a good number around, but shopping at Motors.co.uk takes it to another level entirely. Listing 150,000 different second hand cars for sale, all it takes to find a good deal is a click or two of the mouse. Very low prices and high quality make it a real treasure trove.
Look, the Peugeot Partner Combi isn’t as stylish, refined or sumptuous as some other pure people carriers out there, but it offers a massive amount of space and a robustness that comes from its van DNA. Cheap to run, easy to drive and supremely practical, if you’re looking for versatility of the highest order, it’s definitely the one to go for!
