1990 Peugeot 405 GL 4 wheel drive review from UK and Ireland
"A quality family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering failed at 68,000 miles.
Both electric window motors failed at 74,000 miles.
Wore tyres at an alarming rate.
General comments?
Considering how some people have been so disappointed with their Peugeot's, mine was a very good car. It had major electrical and steering faults, as well as wearing tyres very quickly, but it was otherwise a reliable car which was as hard as nails. Its ride, handling and performance were all excellent and it was a joy to drive the Peugeot while sitting in its comfortable and spacious interior. The dealers were also very good and I was surprised to hear how many customers have been dissatisfied by the service from some Peugeot dealerships.
