ive been driving my mates 02 reg vectra around for a few hours tonight,
and then jumped in my 406 afterwards iwas sort of getting bored with the 406 tbh but ive changed my mind now,
so heres a cheap solution if you get bored with your 406 and fancy another motor borrow someones vectra or something like that and when you get back in your 406 you will want to keep it !
I found when I drove the Vectra VXR and got back into the 406, it was a lot less fast but I knew the economy would make up for it.
When I drove a mint Citroen XM automatic that didn't have engine mounts held together by string or doors that were returning to Ferrous Oxide. That's when I decided I wanted rid.

I drove a mazda 6, got out and wanted to weld myself into the 406. Thats how terrible the mazda was, i was expecting some great drivers car, it feels like someone had made every control a little bit floppy.
On the other hand if i drive an 80s 300d i start to think about how much it would actually cost.
