The often asked question: How much car does man need? Answer: With a Peugeot 301, he can be more than satisfied. Of course it is not offered in Germany, is it? Yes, but as a Citroën. No, not LE CARACTÉRE but C-ELYSÉE.

We stay with the Peugeot 301 at a purchase price of 12.590 € (petrol) or 15.690 € (diesel). With air conditioning, head and side airbags in front, electric windows (front doors), height adjustable driver's seat, USB, Bluetooth, Audio + CD, heated and adjustable mirrors and a speed regulator/-limiter. Add 490 €, however, if you do not like white or black as exterior color.

We are talking about a nearly 4.5 m long car with more than 500 liters of luggage content and really enough space on the back seat bench. It is the same platform as half a meter shorter 208 with smaller wheelbase, but with a slightly weaker engine and already more expensive in the basic price.

Well, it is a bit of a disadvantage that there is no direct injection in the petrol engines and its CO₂ values are a bit too high. The tires, which are narrow for today, help here, but together with the rear drum brakes are not likely to be useful for top braking distances.

Also you cannot buy rear side airbags. The extra charge packages are manageable, overprinted for the colors. Also, the steering wheel is not adjustable in length, but the rear seatback can be converted to two or one third. In foreign countries the car is also available with 6-speed automatic transmission.11/16
