2000 Peugeot 406 SV Grand Wagon review from Finland
"It's a car you make easily be friends with"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Side airbag indicators lit because of a bad electrical connector under the seat.
Automatic climate control system occasionally does not turn the fan on. In such case, manual operation works all right.
This malfunction has been inspected two or three times, but it still takes place every now and then.
General comments?
Despite the relatively cheap price, the car has fantastic features:
It's very fast and comfortable, well equipped, looks and sounds great, too!
Newest V6 24-valve engine has very reasonable fuel consumption. Actually; it's practically the same as on 2-liter models.
There is really no competition in this price class what comes to performance, size, handling and looks!
Being quite a rare model (V6) in Finland, most people underestimate its phenomenal potential at traffic lights.
Just remove the V6 badges from the sides and let them experience a big surprise...
