Peugeot 405 Saloon 1.9 GLXD Turbo 4d (SR) (1995/M) Owner Review
-
Economy
Value
Bought it for £1750 two years ago and it has been fantastic value for money.
Costs
I perform all the servicing myself so £40 for the oil, filters etc..

On the road
Driving
Very comfortable considering it is dated.
Performance
It IS a diesel, but the thing has sooo much torque so it eats hills in 5th quite easily. Probably would be a fabulous towing car if required.

Living with it
Reliability
Very reliable. I've done 45k miles in 2 years and it's had a suspension arm replaced and is having a head gasket replaced.
Image
This isn't about image as it's not making a statement. But, for the money I spent, it's one of the best cars all round I have EVER had. Previously had Golf Mk1 Sportline convert, Subaru Impreza WRX and a Vauxhall Nova!
Comfort
On the whole, very comfortable and has good driving position. Radio remote control is very nice feature also air-con but tends to kill the power when activated!

Security and Service
Security
Not particularly secure, but then who would want to nick it?
Service
Not had to deal with Peugeot dealer as regular servicing done myself.
