2000 Peugeot 406 Rapier HDi 90 Estate review from UK and Ireland
"I have really enjoyed it and would probably buy the same again"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to get the air conditioning bled as it stopped working. That was covered. Apart from that nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
I have had seven Volvo's of different types, ending up with the 740 estate. I got the 406 estate as a part leased car.
I had a caravan when I first got the car... (a 16 foot one)...the Peugeot was excellent at towing.
The space inside is excellent, even compared to the Volvo.
It is comfortable and easy to drive.
The diesel turns in near 50 mpg which makes it cheap to run.
The rain sensor on the wipers is excellent and the radio/CD controls on the driving stalk are very useful and safe to operate.
I have to give my leased car back and am looking at the possibility of buying another one, even though I have heard that a new model is due out...
