The most critical issues seem to be solved (overheating, pop-of valve position) but it's still relatively less reliable car although a lot of those issues are probably caused by the simple fact that unlike Škoda or M-Sport PSA sells its cars also as kits. For sure not all cars are assembles on factory level. PSA cars generally seem to be quite good on twisty and smooth asphalt stages but they don't seem to be so competitive on gravel or on rough and very fast asphalts.
