General Comments

Before I start, this car is only available in UK and Europe. It is also the new shape YEAR 2000 model and not the older one with slighty different attributes.

We bought our Peugeot 406 in March last year. Since then we have experienced smooth curves that blow away the dumpy lines of Vectra and Mondeo, a lovely cosetting ride, a interior with the ambiance to match a 3-Series. Also, the car has lots of equipment including automatic air conditioning, electric seats and a CD Player. The 2.0 litre engine is a little slugish when pulling off but there is a sports mode which really speeds things up. All this for a one year old car costing £10,000!

Now for the bad things. Since we bought the car we had to pay many visits to the dealer because of Airbags light coming on all the time. They said it was a regualar problem with Peugeot 406's. Even though we had those problems, the dealer was generally polite and collected the car and returned it clean. As for parts, a set of Wiper Blades cost £20!!
