1992 Peugeot 605 SVE review from UK and Ireland
"Great to drive and comfortable, but could have been a bit better built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition failed at 41,000 miles.
Passenger side window motor failed at 47,000 miles.
Power steering failed at 54,000 miles.
Stereo failed at 56,000 miles.
Interior trim was very flimsy and breakable.
General comments?
The 605's quality was slightly disappointing.
But it did have many good points.
The interior was very spacious and comfortable.
The 2900cc V6 engine gave strong performance - although it did have a cost in the form of costly fuel bills.
The chassis gave superb handling to match the excellent engine.
Value for money was good - £13,000 for a two year old luxury sedan.
Kept it for two years before selling it on for £7,500.
