Peugeot 405 Saloon 1988
  • Economy

    Value

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Nowadays very good - a lot of car for the money!

    Costs

    3 out of 5 3.0

    MPG takes a beating if pushed, but very cheap insurance!

  • On the road

    Driving

    5 out of 5 5.0

    Brilliant! Balanced, grippy, responsive and great feel even with PAS.

    Performance

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Generally good - 125bhp. Can be very quick but suffers when fully loaded due to weight.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Engine is strong, but electrics a bit dodgy. Try not to use the sunroof too much as it wont last forever!

    Image

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Old man image but something different - looks good in white with alloys and surprises people!

    Comfort

    4 out of 5 4.0

    The most comfortable rear seats ever! Loads of room, but can be noisy on long motorway journeys.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Weak locks, but mine came fitted with alarm and immobiliser.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Never used them but prices way too high - try independents like Unipart or Partco.
