2001 Peugeot 406 review from Belgium
"Recommended, a very good choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing (yet)
General comments?
Car (demo from dealer) was bought with some impulsiveness as I liked very much the design (front in particular), its huge space, metallic colour and what I considered a fair price and was in need for a new car. Have not regret it as it turned to be a nice car. Can be driven very economically for longer distances, but also at very high speeds if some difficult persons are around as it beats easily all Japanese and diesels. I like the way many details have been done. It is well equipped without having unnecessary things.
Have not had any problems, seems that some people here are exaggerating things because it is a French car, never understand anyway why British are always so critical to Continental Europe stuff.
