1989 Peugeot 405 SRi review from Sweden
"A nice design, comfort and OK performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed to change the rear brake calipers and discs several times.
Ventilation fan worked badly.
Left side mirror broke down.
Coolant leak.
Costly engine repair at 120,000 km to keep exhaust values legal, vents were leaking.
Starter broke down at 180,000 km.
General comments?
Very comfortable on long journeys.
Low fuel consumtion.
Good to drive.
Excellent on the road.
A little too noisy to have a conversation without yelling to each other.
Nice Pininfarina design.
