General Comments:

Bought it with gas engine and changed motor after it was gulping too much oil after 4 years of normal use.

Used Peugeot 1.9 diesel engine was installed which proved to be tricky for the rest of the components, particularly the power steering. Diesel rotates at half the RPM so a new pulley, half the size had to be build.

Anyway it's always a pleasure to take it put on the sloped Uruguayan countryside.

Huge trunk! It one of the few sedans that will carry a foursome of golfers with their full equipments! (yeah, It's always me that has to pick the rest of the foursome, thought they have more modern cars).

Though Peugeot has quite a history selling and manufacturing cars in South America (specially Argentina), service is very bad and parts are quite expensive.

Faults:

Nothing has really gone wrong, the items I've replaced have been mainly service items; with the exception of a power steering line splitting (the connection between the pump and the cooler).

General Comments:

This car is known as the skip in my house, my wife hates it with a passion. But, I believe its one of motoring's hidden secrets.

It is a good sized family saloon, with enough performance to keep ahead of the majority of cars on the road, and an ability to put the power on the road and is about the best handling car I've driven.

It has never let me down in 2 1/2 years and 30k miles.

It's a shame that Peugeot haven't built an equivalent 406.

Faults:

Electric window motor slowed down and was replaced under warranty.

General Comments:

Excellent handling and ride. Even now its nearly 10 years old, it still drives better than most new cars I drive at work.

There is no rust anywhere to be seen and has cost very little in the past 8-9 years I've had it.

I love it to bits and will be sorry to see it go when I trade it in against a new Pug 307 - I may even keep it to go along side the new car!

General Comments:

This car is unbelievably badly made, such that many electrical items no longer work.

The engine is old fashioned, noisy, unrefined, slow, temperamental, expensive to mend and has aged very badly. The engine management, and ignition system is overly complex and despite numerous hours with main dealers and specialists (with huge bills resulting) it still misfires, does not idle etc.

The car is reasonably comfortable to travel in, (and to sit in and wait for the AA to arrive in) although the car handles badly due to the overly heavy 2.0l engine making it under-steer. This also contributes to the quick wearing of the tyres.
