 John Payne's recommendation | |
Looks good!
High fuel consumption.
Hopeless auto transmission.
Totally unreliable.
Numerous squeaks and rattles.
Carpet mats adrift.
Dangerous due to engine fault, cuts out without warning!
This Peugeot 407 SW is the worst car I have ever owned. I did not realise that "The drive of my life" meant fighting to get from the third lane of the motorway to the hard shoulder with an engine that has lost all power.
Because the fault does not store on the "on board" computer, the dealer claims there is nothing they can do to rectify it. A new EGR valve has been fitted without success. The response from the dealer and Peugeot customer care has bordered on the non existent. Nothing would persuade me to buy another Peugeot, in fact if I knew of anyone considering buying one, I would actively attempt to dissuade them.
