Car Profiles - Peugeot RCZ

PEUGEOT RCZ

Looks nice and will give you the stares, the RCZ can hold a candle. The engine is a turbo high pressure which performs well but the driving feel isn't to German levels. If you prefer something good looking, then you have a bet.

The Good: Looks good
The Bad: Handling is disappointing

Price Range: P2,850,000
