1978 Peugeot 504 Sedan review from North America
"One ride and you're hooked"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The alternator needed rebuilding.
The glow plug controller needed replacing.
General comments?
The Peugeot 504 is the most comfortable car, with the possible exception of a Citroen, I've ever driven.
It is very economical getting between 24 - 29 miles per US gallon of biodiesel.
I've been driving 504's for more than 25 years and have no plans of changing.
It is a very beautiful and distinctive car. You never lose it in a parking lot.
