1993 Peugeot 405 T16 review from Germany
"Superb performance camouflaged in functional family pack"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing major, a flat battery and an oil leak, that's about it.
General comments?
Absolutely amazing car.
Very, very quick, but doesn't look it! Very much understating car.
Handling is brilliant. Especially with the 4x4 it seems really calm especially in the wet. No never seem to feel the speed.
Dash is nice in design and functionality.
I love the engine. It can be super smooth in the lower revs and has the performance when you want it. Nothing seems to be an effort for that engine.
Thanks to its turbo lack - which can be nice - and a fairly heavy clutch it can be uncomfortable in town driving, but open road I never drove anything better.
