1983 Peugeot 505 S Silver Edition review from North America
"Fast, economical and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Master cylinder.
EGR valve.
Sunroof doesn't work.
Some rust.
General comments?
Peugeot's are great cars. It can be interesting to own one in the U.S. I think Peugeot's would do well if they were sold here again (at least I would buy one). The Europeans just have to stand behind their products more than they did/do.
