Yea us 'Muricans don't have all them limitations but it's getting worse year by year. Peugeots over here? I don't think so, or rather I've never personally seen one.
What type of car do you own? PHOTOS!

The Expedition is built on an F-150 chassis and is a nice ride, but a bit of a gas hog.
Peugeots are few and far between over here.
Ford now makes the new models similar to what they look like over there. Sadly the Escort was dropped in favor of the Focus.

Yeah, not the most practical car unfortunately, but if you need more room there is always the RX-8
Coilovers are coming eventually but I am waiting for a couple of reasons. First one is I need to figure out exactly how much I can lower it and still make it in the driveway, it's quite close already and there is no way I will leave this car outside. The other thing is coilovers will put me in the same autox class as a lot of skilled drivers so I need to get at least one seasons worth of practice against other noobs in the more stock classes before jumping in with the pros.
Seat Ibiza 1.6tdi Fr
Engine is decent, gets about 110hp and 250nm torque from 1500rpm. Not much but being a small modern light car its pretty nippy. Outright 0-60 time is around 10secs, but being a diesel its in gear acceleration is better than gas engines of similar or slightly larger size and power. It pulls strongly from 15 to almost 70mph in 3rd and happily cruises along at just above idle around 1100rpm, so you can be very eco too (70mpg).
The Fr trim is also the sport version. Lower and stiffer suspension, and fat tires for the size of car (225s). I can take corners at stupid speed and the car stays flat

2005 Honda Accord, got it for a steal as it had been in a front-end collision.
Although, the paint's peeling off the front and it's already had a multitude of issues so far (I get what I deserve
).
