Re: What family hatch would you buy.
an odd choice really, why it doesnt even have a big arse anymore, or the tech of the c4. The new megane i think i can say is pointless

does the 407 have a visiodrive windscreen. (lets use the word after they went to the bother of inventing it)

I posted on this without realising the thread topic properly
I went back in to delete, but for some reason I accidentily quoted it, and forum wouldn't let me edit either
Anyway, wouldn't have a hatchback..............being a fat b'stard I need all the room I can get
Went in the inlaws ashtray in the summer, and by god it was uncormfortable with the lack of room.
Anytime we went out with them, they kept offering to drive, but I kept turning it down for the comfort of the 406
I guess the 407 with a pan roof is one to avoid then if the roof leaks
Just keep having a peak for a replacement for mine, and late hi spec 406 estates seem quite expensive relatively,
and the 407 sw "can" be picked up cheaper

Re: What family hatch would you buy.
There has never been a single recorded case of a fault exhisting on any Peugeot 406 [citation needed]
Id love to have a big windscreen, do they get dirty?

Re: What family hatch would you buy.
I'd be interested to know too, it's been putting me off anything with a panoramic roof since I heard it. I was actually sniffing round a 307 estate with one at the time...

Re: What family hatch would you buy.
leaks might be found in the winner of this poll:
and perhaps a bit more serious than any leak a peugeot will develop.
