1988 Peugeot 405 GRI review from Sweden
"Nice car of the late 80s"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing wrong, but usual wear and tear replacement in a new brake plate.
New part of exhaustpipe also replaced due to rust.
General comments?
Nice design for an 17 year old car and no rust.
It´s a fun car to drive with moderate power that will give you enough power to overtake that annoying cargocarrier or bus on the road.
Basic model; no power-steering and minimum electrical gadgets in the cabin.
Nice suspension and smooth to handle.
Boot surprisingly large. A family of four
will do well in terms of space.
Quite cheap spearparts to buy and an overall
simple car to fix with.
If you like a car that has a reliable engine and if you´re not out to outdo your neughbour´s new car then a carefully selected 405 should fit you well.
