Peugeot 405 Reviews

I paid £300 from a friend for this my first car. Brought in 2004 and I only replaced it when it failed 18 months later. The 405 GLX is a good powerful mid-sized car which is comfortable and hard wearing. The car I drove the 1.6 GLX model, and I would suggest choosing a fuel-injected model as it packs that extra punch. ...

When our Skoda decided to give up the ghost, we were already in the market to replace it due to all the problems it had caused us. So, this small disaster wasn't too much of a change in plans. After much looking, it came down to a choice between two second-hand cars and when one owner decided not to accept our offer, we ended up with a 1995 ...

My review is based entirely on my experiences with my current car (405 1.6 carb model) and a previous 405 (1.9 SRi). Brief history: The 405 was launched back in 1988 as a competitor to the Ford Sierra and Vauxhall Cavalier and in my opinion singlehandedly raised the standard of the family saloon. The mk 1 cars were far ...

The day I bought my 405 GRD was the day I discovered there is such a thing as a perfect car. Having owned a huge array of cars over the years I had come to the conclusion that you either had economy,space,reliablility,safety,power,style or comfort, and never all together. Now I know that having held on to this motor for over a year,the ...

I'm a New Zealander driving an English-built 1990 405 SRi. My previous car was a New Zealand-assembled 1970 404. This car evokes so many and varied responses. The handling is superb, the build quality is terrible. As a new car, it would've looked quite elegant, it now looks very shabby. It's very quick and eminently suited ...

I bought my 405 gld for the small sum of 700 quid, and what did i get for my money, well i got leccy windows and sunroof, a comfortable if bland drive and the economy, wow!! This car regularly returns 60mpg it might not have earth shattering performance, 0-60 takes about 14 seconds but once its upto speed it can keep up with the fast traffic. ...

As a taxi driver, I have driven two 405 saloons and one estate version, over a period of nearly three years. They are popular in the trade - especially the diesel version, which can do anything up to 60mpg even doing cabbing round the city. Parts are readily available & cheap enough, but tend not to last as long as one would hope (e.g. ...

It seemed like a good idea at the time ! Buying the car from my mate, which i had admired since he had it. A peugeot 405 SRI 1.9injection, low suspension , alloy wheels , power steering , electric sunroof and the finishing touch , me , the boyhood racer ! Without a doubt , i enjoyed driving around in it , with the radio on and ...

I have owned my peugeot 405 GL for 18 months now, and it has proved to be the best value second hand car that I have owned. I paid £500 for the 'E' registered car, with 6 months tax and a full M.O.T, which is round about the going rate,although a mint example is well worth paying a little more for. One of the worst things about driving ...

I owned a Peugeoy 405 GLD, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best all round family saloons that I've owned. It was a vary well built sturdy car which made you feel safe on the road, it also had many features that similar cars on the road did not, like remote central locking, electric windows etc. Mine was the deisel ...
