How pejorative is "frimeur/euse"?

I'm looking for a word to describe someone a bit trashy, vulgar, slightly douchy in an oblivious way - a show-off and also a bit of an asshole. "Frimeur" seems more or less to fit - I have seen in the dictionary that it's pejorative. What are the real-world connotations of this word? How offensive would it be to call someone that?

Any other suggestions? I also thought prétentieux, vulgaire, poseur, vaniteux... but I'm not sure which word captures the essence of what I want the best!

Suggestions welcomed!

I have a Peugeot PHEV, and I'm definitely getting an EV when I next change my car. I'm in the early stages of deciding/researching what's around.

I love my Peugeot, but the MyPeugeot app is so broken it's worse than useless. Won't connect to the car, won't tell me my charge/fuel levels, won't set up a delayed charge, won't initiate remote climate control... always just times out, crashes, throws an error or logs me out. For a PHEV it doesn't really matter, but I imagine that for an EV I'd need to use the app a bit more actively for things like checking charge level, managing the timing of my charge (overnight), capping it at a set level, etc. Probably some other important functions I'm not aware of.

So how important is it to have a car app that actually works for an EV? Would a crappy app be a dealbreaker?
