The Tepee Outdoor has a raised suspension giving a 10 mm increase in ground clearance to appease families who use dirt tracks to get to their favourite outdoor activities. The ride and handling of the Tepee is pretty good and very comfortable while the effortless power assisted steering will easily breeze into those parking buys. If in doubt, however, the Tepee does have rear-parking sensors as an optional extra. The 1.6 litre HDi 110 bhp in the heart of the Tepee may not make it the fastest car on the planet taking 14.3 seconds to reach 62 mph and a top speed of 106 mph, but it will certainly zoom pass petrol stations achieving 50.4 mpg on a combined cycle. Further running costs are gained by CO2 emissions being 147g/km meaning a VED of £120 per year. Smiling all the way to the bank now.

The Tepee is also a very safe place to be in thanks to six airbags, all seats having three point inertia reel seatbelts with ISOFIX mountings fitted on the passenger and two rear outer seats. In addition is ABS with EBD, while a tyre under inflation detection, ESP combined with Traction Control system and hill start assistance function is available. Securing the Tepee is central locking with deadlocks and an optional alarm.

I really fell for the Peugeot Tepee Outdoor for it gave a great drive, saved me valuable pennies thanks to low running costs but best of all, the Tepee was the most practical family orientated cars I have been privy to drive in a very long time.

My jaw aches from smiling
