Does it get any better
Is it possible to buy a car as comfortable as a 406?

Re: Does it get any better
but it is a pug, and it isnt hideous, its really a turning point for peugeot, it shows they arent making complete shite. Still i doubt it can be as good as a 406.
Re: Does it get any better
i had one on a 3 day test drive and i loved it, the driving postition is brilliant and the HUD is a brilliant touch (on the top of the range model which i had)
We are looking to get a 3008 when me and my partner have settled down into our new jobs

Re: Does it get any better
I favour keeping the 406, just making the scenery move quicker.

Re: Does it get any better
If you thought the Xantia was good, you should try a C5. We've got those poxy bloody middle of the road speed bumps & it was better than any of the Beemers or Mercs I've had over them.Gary406 wrote:i once owned a citroen xantia 1.8 16v petrolBailes1992 wrote:Citreon Xantia.

Re: Does it get any better
the citroen suspension is too good though, it disconnects you from the road.
