Peugeot 406 Saloon 3.0 V6 GLX 4d (AC) (1998/R) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Good value as a second hand bargain - loads of car for the money, although not particularly good I suspect if you paid nearly £20k for it new.
Costs
Not bad really for the size car. Parts are acceptably priced and fairly easy to get hold of. Bit pricey for fuel but it is a 3 litre engine so what do you expect.

On the road
Driving
Good fun to drive, responsive and comfortable. Lots of gadgets to play with.
Performance
1st gear a bit short and can have problems keeping grip accelerating, especially in the wet. Other than that a real wolf in sheep's clothing. Not a lot can keep with it - either off the mark or top end.

Living with it
Reliability
Alternator went. That is it other than wear and tear. (Car has done 90k)
Image
A good looking saloon but this really is the wolf in sheeps clothing. Some think it's a bit ""grandad"" looking but they wouldn't think that if they drove one!
Comfort
Nice ride, seats ok but can ache a bit after 2-300 miles.

Security and Service
Security
Good remote locking and deadlocks - alarm also good and no false ones yet.
Service
Not really used - tend to be a bit pricey round here.
