1989 Peugeot 405 mi 16 review from Spain
"Wolf in sheep's clothing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering belt snapped.
Water pump leaked.
Clutch and cable replaced.
General comments?
The car handles well, but not as good as it could. The car is seriously quick, even 14 years old it, s quicker than most BMW, s. Major problem I have is that the car has leather seats, I live in Spain where it gets very hot. So burnt legs. Looks like your average family saloon, but drives like a high performance car that it is.
