My dad used to talk about how the peugots were about all they used in Aftica, they were tough, etc. I drove this one and was enchanted by its compliant ride and perfect steering. I was also taken by the large cargo area and the live rear axle....like a pickup truck.

But I only owned it about a month or two. Probably the least I ever owned a car.
