1992 Peugeot 605 SV review from Syria
"You are very lucky if you buy such a car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing serious or worthy to be mentioned happened.
General comments?
It is really very comfortable car with reasonable cost of running and maintenance. Just pay attention to your gearbox because it is very expensive. For example it costs more than $1100, if found.
Very successful rear suspension, good Peugeot. I once, cut a 120 d angle at 110 km/pa without sliding. No over or under steering. I usually use very wide tires (Firestone 225/60/15), which gives it extra handling on slippy and fast roads.
The electronics are very sensitive, so make sure to use original spare parts.
