1992 Peugeot 505 SW8 review from North America
"Come back to the US please!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lighting wires corroded off first year due to road salt. Head gasket went first year as well. The engine and drive train are excellent though underpowered. Turbo was only available with the Automatic go figure. Seat heaters quit the day the warranty was up and of course they wouldn't fix them for free. Lots of minor annoyancessuch as door locks, and electric issues.
General comments?
In spite of all this if Peugeot came back tothe US I would buy another!
