1997 Peugeot 406 GLX review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
N/A.
General comments?
WOW, great car, not that many about. Can only be reconised by the small V6 badge by the front wheel arch and a chrome tail pipe.
Very quick. Good acceleration before you reach 5000rpm, then it really kicks in with the 24v's. Watch your petrol gauge go down. Engine sounds great, has that typical V6 growl. Standard BHP 200, not bad for a family saloon car. First gear ratio is way too short, but second is great.
Interior is very nicely laid out, it has everything you would expect in this sort of model. It is a great car to drive and would I recommend it to anyone that is after a high performance car.
One thing to watch, you must have a deep pocket when it comes to petrol, or you can just drive very slow, which you will find be a tad impossible once you have experienced the power behind this family saloon car/Beast.
