1989 Peugeot 405 Mi16 from North America - Comments

Nothing major. It has been very reliable car.

The most fun car I have driven. I am now looking for one with Turbo engine cause I am hooked on the Mi16's speed and control. A true rally car and I've smoked every car I raced on the roads including Fords, Acura, and Subaru.

In the US people make fun of Peugeot, but that's due to ignorance and lack of appreciation to craftmanship (hence, the crappy american cars).

O, so is that why almost nobody in the US bought Peugeots, and they gave up trying to sell them here just two years after yours was built? Ignorance?

Thanks for clearing that up.

The Mi16 is an awsome car. I have driven many cars and the mi16 is probably the most surprising. A bit slow of the line, but an absoulte MONSTER once above 4 grand. I'm from Australia and I have had the pleasure of ruining many locally built 6 cylinder cars at the lights, as well as out handling most Japenese "sports' cars on the twisties.

I want one and I will buy one very soon.

Somebody, give the original poster an award for saying what I've been saying about peugeots, renaults, alfa romeos, all along. And to the first commentor, the reason why they pulled out of america what because no one here appreciates the excellent cars that peugeot offers... sure they may have issues, but look at an '80s american car and then tell me about issues. I've grown up around many 405s and 505s and some tend to be very reliable while other's were, well, not. every american car I know about (and even the POS grand am I had) handled poorly, was shoddily built, and were as a whole loud, unsophisticated and unrefined.

I've got a Mi16 and I'm only a young kid. It is my second car after a Holden Commodore, and people are so ignorant and just don't understand Peugeot's.

The first comment is perfect.. lack of appreciation for craftsmanship. I just don't understand why people buy slush boxes and try tell tell me my car isn't a sports car, and it is no more sporty than a Commodore?
