2001 Peugeot 406 STDT2 review from UK and Ireland
"Economical, comfortable, reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew the clock display due to jump starting another car (not a good idea with any modern car!) 40euro from scrap yard.
Engine management light had to be reset due to driving through floods on 2 occasions.
Bought a reset tool on eBay for 30euro.
One rear drop link 12euro. Caused clonking sound from the rear.
This car is very reliable.
I commute 70 miles per day and there has not been a hiccup in the last 32000 miles.
General comments?
This car is not very fast from 0-60mph, but there is lots of power for overtaking once the turbo kicks.
This is the ideal motorway cruiser. Very comfortable on a long journey.
The heater controls etc. are not very ergonomically designed, and you always need to stretch a little for them.
The economy is excellent on this car! 523 miles for 38 liters! That's amazing for a car of this size.
I will never own another petrol car! Hope to get a 136bhp BMW 320D...
