Upgrade to 407

Post by RayneR »

Well it has been nice and all but i think it's time to let the 406 since it's giving too much problems since i had the accident which if it was today i would never repair it .. but well...

The main questions about 407 is :

What are the bad things i should take notice when buying one?

1.6 or 2.0 HDi all have FAP ?

What are the advantages of one to another?

Thank you.

Well, I expect there'll be loads of lovers of the 407 along quite soon to say how wonderful it is,
except for the 1.6 HDI, which apparently is sh*t.

But, for me, it's the definition of an old man's car.
Chubby, overweight, stylistically challenged, just another medium/large saloon
for the undemanding driver. Peugeot return to their age-old image of boring cars.
It's as if the years of the 405, 205 etc had never existed.

See "Peugeot 406 / 407": viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23701

The only reason to get the 1.6 is if you're desperate for fuel economy. The HDi 90 in the 406 produces more power and torque below 2500rpm.

Current: 407 2.2 HDi 170 & C6 2.7 HDi.
Former: 406 1.9 TD; 406 HDi 90; 407 2.2 160; 307cc 180; 508 HDi 140.
