Hi & welcome to the forum.
406 is good iron. Worth finding out which flavour suits you best.

Hi mate, I have a 306 and a 406, 306 is the wife's and 406 is mine.
306 is more fun round town but the 406 is superior as a family car. Both ultra-reliable and economical.
The 406 prices have dropped so a good time to buy one, aim for a later and higher spec model if you can as prices much the same....

Nope - Rapier just had black cloth. Rapier is positioned between LX and GLX - both of which have manual cloth seats.dgt wrote:Welcome! Rapier is a D9 spec, half leather
It's still nicer than the LX spec I had when I had a saloon.
If you wanted half-leather, you'd need to look out for a D9-model SRi or SE. All the others had either full cloth or full leather. This is UK trim levels I'm talking about though - the trim levels varied from market to market.

Irish market having said that we do tend to get weird specs at times, a lot of D8's here didn't have rev counters for example. My old one was a base model on the taxbook, yet had a sunroofhighlander wrote:Nope - Rapier just had black cloth. Rapier is positioned between LX and GLX - both of which have manual cloth seats.
