My wife is going to for sure have to sell her car prior to our move to Turkey and she has been looking at the auto market to see what is available.
We are going to stay away from any of the eastern european manufacturers but she has seen a few of the Pugeot, Citroen (both French), Alfa (Italian), and Rover (British) cars that have the styling she likes. Does anyone have any knowledge of these cars as far as reliability, performance, safety, etc? I'm leaning toward either a Volvo S40 or S60. One consideration is that the more common the car the better the likelyhood of finding competent mechanics. Has reliability gotten any better? |

So, a C or a D class car, then. A Peugeot 307 or a 406 (Peugeot naming scheme is S0Y, where S is the size class (1,2,3,4,5), and Y is a "version number" that goes up with each major redesign, roughly every 6-7 years. The 407 may be out by now, for all I know.
Hope you guys have a good budget for gasoline... |

Hope you guys have a good budget for gasoline... even the bigger Peugeot - like the 406 or 407 - are availabel with strong common rail turbo diesel engines (called HDi) with lots of torque here's the older 406: (not really my taste) (IMG:http://www.autosieger.de/as_car-images/peugeot/406_3.jpg) but I like the 406 Coupé: (IMG:http://www.cwn.org.uk/motoring/peugeot/images/peugeot406-coupe-400x260.jpg) and this one is the 407: (IMG:http://www.peugeot-fleet.de/kunden_modelle/allgemein/images/grossansicht/407_limousine.jpg) (IMG:http://www.wintonsworld.com/cars/a-cars-2004/2004-carpics/geneva/peugeot-407.jpg) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Gustl |
