1996 Peugeot 406 LX review from UK and Ireland
"The best car I've driven for ages"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaking coolant hose, which was extremely difficult to replace (one end was right behind the fuel pump. Nimble fingers required!).
General comments?
Extremely comfortable, especially for rear passengers.
Handles like glue on corners (thanks to Goodyear rubber on all four wheels).
Nippy for a small turbo diesel engine (for a big car).
A better ride and build quality than a Rover 75!
