Peugeot 406 Coupe 3.0 V6 (210bhp) SE 2d (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Just stunning second hand value for money. 8k buys a 3/4 year old which is equal to a 328/330ci BMW, for half the price.
Costs
Servicing not cheap, but 20k intervals. It could be worse.
-
On the road
Driving
Firm and stiff on bends - a driver's car. Very relaxed on motorways too, with bags of power.
Performance
Powerful but refined. Not aggressive power, but let the revs climb and you're soon moving and accelerating effortlessly fast.
-
Living with it
Reliability
No major problems, though makes a hum when radio on at same time as headlights. Engine mounts and radiator prone to failure
Image
It's till a classy, handsome head turner. Certainly when I pull up in it, people generally think it's very nice and worth more than it is!
Comfort
Very nice. Front seats a little too wide and not 'recaro' enough for the bends, but a very comfortable cruiser that's only instils confidence.

Security and Service
Security
Seems spot on.
Service
Dealers either arrogant, or friendly. Luck of the draw it seems. Not consistent like BMW dealers
