1999 Peugeot 406 ST HDI review from France
"Sensible choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown headlamp bulb.
General comments?
Good value for money.
Regularly drive 1200 kms in a day, and cruising comfort is excellent.
Excellent economy - about 55 imperial mpg (5.5 litres/100km) with very low cost servicing.
