The RCZ has gained a cult following over the past four years, and it made its debut in our Driver Power satisfaction survey this year. It finished in 20th position overall and was the top-ranked coupé, with high scores for performance and handling, while running costs were well rated, too. It placed 76th out of 150 for reliability, which is reasonable, while a ninth place finish for Peugeot’s dealers should inspire confidence that any problems should be sorted quickly and professionally.

The RCZ hasn’t been crash tested by Euro NCAP, but it’s based on the same platform as the last Peugeot 308, which earned a five-star rating in 2009. There are four airbags, ABS with emergency brake assist and tyre pressure monitors as standard.
