1994 Peugeot 405 GL review from UK and Ireland
"More smiles per mile than a taxi ride with Chubby Brown"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV joints exposed - rubber came off.
A water hose burst, spraying water everywhere and cutting the engine power when it was needed.
Both fixed by the dealer free of charge.
General comments?
Not perfect but as close to it as I'm likely to find I think - fast, powerful, refined, comfortable, reliable, good-looking... but enough about me!
Seriously though - only had it 1 week and I like it that much that I've done over 1000 miles in the space of a week! Cheaper than I expected with regards to petrol - average about 35-40mpg although it had gone through a major service before we brought it. Keeps Mondeo and
Vectra man off my back. Also keeps Fiesta XR2 and Nova GSi boy off my back.
