  • Security and Service

    Security

    3 out of 5 3.0

    406's are attractive to crooks (they have tried mine twice, without success), so always use deadlocks. I also use a krooklock on the steering wheel.

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Local Peugeot dealer disorganised & incompetent.
