Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

...me introduce you to the Peugeot 406 SE 3.0 V6 Coupe. My BEST car ever by far! The look; It's sleek looks designed by Pininfarina himself (most noted for designing Ferrari's) turn heads wherever you go. As you would expect from this designer, every asthetic detail has been thought about giving the coupe the look of a car twice its price. The power; The 3.0 litre V6 engine gives you power whenever you need it and just keeps on pulling through the ...
...I needed to go through Peugeot itself so prepare to pay dealer prices. Speaking of which, engine has specialist software so your garage needs to have appropriate machine to interrogate Engine Management Software so again, main dealer for problems is probably your only bet. Reliability and issues; Up until recently, absolutely fantastic. No problems whether it be the heat of a British summer of the depths of its winter. Recently, problems with engine ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

...appreciated seeing as it's a Peugeot after all and it certainly turns heads. Even though my model was made in 1999 (T) it still looks very modern on today's roads, if not, still better looking than some cars of today. The front of the car has sleek looking headlights, with the headlamp washers incorporated in the front bumper. These only work when using the screen wash function and only when the lights are on main beam. I'm not sure these have a ...
...The rear lights are typical Peugeot style, which I feel arn't bad and any aftermarket ones I have seen, I don't like. Maybe LED's should have been fitted to the later models. INTERIOR ========= I must admit, I do like this interior as it fits the car very well. In particular, the leather interior. Very comfortable and due to the front heated electric seats, can adjust to your desired position or can be raised or lowered. There is also 2 memory ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

...you may ask? Well the Peugeot 406 Coupe hardly conjures up the same images as Ferrari, Porsche or even BMW. Images of a dull saloon car are associated with the 406 marque, however if cars were bought on looks alone then the 406 Coupe would perhaps have been up there with the great. Aesthetically this car is very pleasing to the eye the Pinifarina lines remind the observer of Ferrari, and even after 5 years on the market it still looks fresh and ...
...it is no slouch, but Peugeot could have pushed that 3.0 Litre 24 valve engine so much more. Admittedly Puegeot improved the performance in 1999 taking the engine bhp from 194 to 210 with the introduction of variable valve timing . This car is not bought to be economical around town, on average I believe I get around 20mpg around town, but somewhat better on the motorway. However the official fuel consumption rates give a combined rate of 28mpg and ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

I was lucky enough back at the end of the 90's to be able to choose a company car. Hidden in the lsit of mondeos and BMWs was this fine machine. I had spotted this beauty before the list arrived and had to have it. The styling is what first grabs your attetion, it looks good from any angle. And despite the bog engine it is really easy to drive both in the city and on the motorway. The car definitely turns heads but in my opinion you have to have ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

...was a ferrari in a peugeot garage... I've now had mine for over 2 years and I still grin when I see it. It is, simply one of the best looking cars around that real people can afford. Add to that the fact that they are very rare (I've seen maybe 7 in 2 years) and you know you've got something special. The interior is well laid out, all relevant information can be seen easily on clear displays and the multi dispaly on the D9 models gives outside temp, ...
...when I first got it. Peugeot fixed the ICE under warranty but wouldn't guarantee their own work (which suprised me) so I was a little annoyed when more gremlins appeared after the warranty period. Fuel consuption is great on long journeys, the car eats up the miles and with the climate control going and the cruise control off it easy to forget you're driving and get into the football on the radio! Round town and door to door you don't get much MPG ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

I love my 406 coupe. It;s 3 litre engine purrs, it is quiet, and reliable. The red leather seats and sleek ferrari-style lines make it a magnet of the opposite-sex variety. However, I find for a car of its engine size (V6 24v) that it is underpowered when compared to less attractive cars. With only 199BHP, it lacks that adrenalin-raising power. Sure, it is fast and pulls away faster than anybody *really* needs, but for the price you pay I might ...
...to its capabailities now, and the novelty value has worn off a little, but I'd just like that little bit more. But then again, it is not a sports-car, it's a luxury coupe. If I wanted to be a boy-racer I shouldn't have bought it! If it came down to a decision though, I wouldn't swap it for a Subaru! ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

In my own opinion the Peugeut 406 Coupe is one of the best looking cars that has a great design, performance, comfort and affordability. I often use the phrase beauty and the beast to describe the 406 Coupe, it has a very elegant design (designed by Pininfarina - he who designs Ferrari's) hence beuaty and an amazing performance from the 3 litre V6 engine. The ride is exciting, yet comfortable, you are emersed in hugging leather sports seats (heated ...
...standard equipment is high. It is advisable to go for the 3.0 litre if you can afford the extra, as you get much improved performance. I have owned mine for 2 years now and have not looked at another car since! I often still admire it's beauty. Car Details: 3.0 v6 SE Auto 1998 (S) - purchase price £14,500 in 2001 (32,000 miles) Servicing costs: It is advisable to use the main dealer and are not too costly compared to other makes (approx £120 ...

Review of Peugeot 406 3.0 Coupe

...good looking saloon, but what peugeot have done with the coupe is picturesque. It is one of the most beautiful cars every built with its sleek design and huge alloys. The interior is just as good, it has red leather interior and it has as much space inside as the 406 saloon. With a 3 litre V6 engine it is very fast and a good accelorator. Its a common misconception that coupe versions of the saloons are cheap and practical fun because of the parts ...
