2001 Peugeot 406 Rapier review from UK and Ireland
"Good, but easy to get in to without a KEY"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have a rattle in the near side door pillar.
The drivers seat plastic trim rubs constantly on the plastic trim in the foot well.
My main complaint is that this car is
about as SECURE AS A WET PAPER BAG over the six months of owning this car it has been broken into twice by the same method i.e. knocking out the drivers door lock from the plastic door handle where it was mounted.
THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO TWO OF MY FRIENDS WHO ALSO HAVE THE SAME 406 HDI ESTATES.
General comments?
This car is very nice to drive
BUT I just can't not leave it anywhere!
