2000 Peugeot 406 review from Dominican Republic
"Cheap material in an expensive car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Plastic interior molded parts started to break the second year, including air conditioner grids, dash accessories, door panels, emergency brake knob, shift knob, etc.
Many part from the engine are plastic, including injection plugs.
General comments?
This car is comfortable and reliable, but was built with cheap materials.
Next time I will not buy the based model.
There is not many aftermarket accessories, such as wheels, that fit this car.
