This is my other car, a 2001 Peugeot 406. You don't get much of these down there i would imagine do you? :D

Works as my (as of since i bought the KE70) summer only daily driver.

 

- Engine is a VCT 2.2 litre inline-4 petrol engine putting out 158 BHP @ 6550 RPM and 217 Nm (160 ft·lb) @ 3900 RPM.

- 5 Speed manual gearbox.

- Exhaust is stock 2½" exept for the last muffler that's a jap spec 4" pipe.

- Suspension is aftermarket adjustable (height/stiffness) Koni dampers and lowering springs.

- Rims are called Image Blade 7.5x17" with 225/45 Minerva F105 tires.

- Front brakes are vented discs 283x26mm and rear is 290x10 solid discs.

 

- Xenon in low-beam lights (not stock).

- Tinted rear windows.

- 3 chrome stripes in the grille.

- 10" bass in the boot :D It's a poor old speaker but it does it's job quite well actually.

 

Here's some pictures for ya'll:

I actually really like these (especially the coupe, they look like sex with wheels)

 

Yes I'm starting to be really jelaous of the Coupé too. At the time i bought my car i liked the Sedan better, but the Coupé has grown on me all the time and now i want one of those :D With the V6 engine! But they are pretty expensive, and they like gas a lot :(

 

Here is the ultimate one, how they should look:

I got a 01 406 as well :yes:. bought it new . chipped it + a green cotton air filter after a year(hdi)

 

so now its about 136 hp 300Nm. Great milage and good ride comfort in all conditions.

 

Mrs. uses it as daily but definatly our prefered car for long trips.

 

No plans of trading that one in . No nasty suprises yet, just normal maintenance.

 

Like the look of the coupe but need the wagon :wink:

I've also been thinking about a chipped 2.0l 406. They can't be that slow. And you get very far on a tank of gas. Still, i love my car despite it's minor faults.

that has a really agressive front end on it. i like it!

 

sort of reminds me of a series 2 s14 silvia, the angry eyes one.

No racecar but far from slow. Got 300Nm from 1800rpm on, so hardly ever downshift for making passes. Theres two vertions tho, 90 and 110hp. Mine was 110 before chipping.

 

1500km on a on a tank easily if on highway

I also had 2 different 405's before this 406. Both of those were GLX models with 1.6l and 1.8l engines. I sooo wanted a 405 Mi16 about 6 months ago too and i almost bought several :D But now i ultimately bought the KE70 so i won't buy any Mi16 now.

Such a nice weather outside this afternoon i had to take some new pictures :)

Shiny or what?! :D
