Ive had my Peugeot 2.2 hdi now for 4 years , and rather than part with it i'm going to keep it , Its smooth, comfortable and eats the miles up with ease, it really is a drivers car, i am proud to own a car designed by Pininfarina, After all they do have over 90 years experience in making things look beautiful
I miss my V6 auto, i'd have another one tomorrow!! stunning looks, fantastic motor, fantastic for the family man who wants a bit of power or brilliant for the boy racer who wants a bit of class, shame it wasn't RWD!! Unfortunately trying to put a baby seat in the back of one of these is a problem. A tough act to follow but baby seats and 2dr cars don't mix . lol
dont buy it as a first car as its not the sort of thing new drivers should have. You'll learn to appreciate it a bit more if you drive around in crappy older cars for a while. If you are under 25 then get yourself a hot hatch, the 406 coupe is for a slightly more mature market. Thats how its kept its class.
Pretty much all of them look good. The Peugeot 605 looks excellent for being a 20 year old car and Jeremy Clarkson once said that the Ferrari 355 was the last great looking Ferrari.
Beautiful car - used to own one. Saw one last week, fell in love all over again. Not a particularly fast car, but it is fun to drive and VERY comfortable.
Hi, sorry about this stupid question but I don't know much about cars. I have a 2litre 406 coupe (1997 model) with some rough looking wheels and can get hold of some very nice 3 litre V6 alloys for next to nothing. Will they go straight on or will I have to change something, wheel nuts etc.?
is there an automatic transmission version of this car?in my country the price is 6500 euros but only manual I didnt found yet an automatic one.lol I want an automatic car and this would be great!
truely is one of the nicest looking cars ever. It is pure understatement that makes this car work, its not all about 'look at me', its a modest design and what all car designers should aspire to.
Peugeot was having a really good day when they came up with this car. It is so classy and stylish, the 407 coupe is a little too brutish but the 406 is subtle enough not to notice, but when you do notice it..wow!
Desolais 15leny15 mais je crois que le luxe est pas tellement au rendes vous dans une peugeot 406 sans vouloir te véxé . j'ai un ami qui en a une et franchement le luxe euh ,bah jle cherche encore heins ... monte dans un coupe Mercedes ou BMW et la tu vera du luxe ! ( et de la sportivité vue que c'est Allemand !)
desoler metalsnake mais je crois que tu la mal regarder la 406 de ton ami car elle est quand meme tres bien equiper (j'en est une) et sans vouloir te vexé la comparer avec une mercedes ou une bmw qui coute presque 2 fois plus cher c'est facile :) bm ou mercedes sa coute cher a l'achat, cher a l'entretien et cher a assurer et en plus et la sa engage que moi je trouve que les bm se ressemble toute mercedes aussi d'ailleurs. sportivité? oui on va plus vite d'une pompe a l'autre avec une allemande
attention quand meme j'ai pas dit que mercedes et bm c'etait de la bouze ils font de tres bonne voiture comme peugeot et comme renault comme tout les autres d'ailleurs chacun ses gouts en fait mais c'est marrant de voir des commentaire genre " c pas bm ou mercedes? donc c de la merde" lol. A toulouse chez bm yavait un m5 sublime a vendre d'ocaz ils l'on garder sur leur parc pendant 2 ans je crois sa sert a rien de sortir des voiture surpuissant si c'est pour pas les vendre.
cette voiture est fantastique!!! je viens de m en acheter une et je ne saurais m en passer. c'est à la fois le luxe, le sport, la classe; et c'est français, pour une fois! lol
@clubtaxi No it was not. That is complete rubbish. A little research will show you that the same person from Pininfarina who design the Ferrari 430 also designed the 406 Coupé. The similarities are so obvious, Ferrari were not to pleased.
The Calibra looks old and dated, you can tell it was an early 90's design. The 406 Coupé still looks good in any car park today.
@bmused55 im sorry but i had both cars and the similarity are too obvious. but what you said is also true. personally i love the calibra design, old designs are beautiful ;). but if was possible to make a car with 406 front and calibra back....perfect! :) but i want another 406 in my life.
On the verge of buying a 2.0 litre (its all I can afford to insure)that I road tested the other day, I was really dissapointed by the lack of power. I've a 1.4 Astra at the minute which is probably just as powerful. Is this normal???
The reason the mirrors are painted in gray is because it would spoil the cars lines, drawing too much atention to them if they would be colour coded to the body paint. This way yhe car will look more sleek.
I've got one and I luv it! The 406 coupe is and will always be a classic; such a beautiful design - unfortunately the 407 coupe didn't quite manage anything close to the beauty of this one!
Oh man, this film is great! That clip from Le Boulet is awesome too. I have the same car, in silver, although it is only a 2.0 litre. The only drawback to driving one is that you never get to see yourself cruising along, looking like a king! I also love the Lancia Gamma Coupe, these are the two most beautiful cars in the World, both by Pininfarina of course! Now the question is... black Gamma Coupe or silver 406 Coupe?

That's true. The reason ferrari gets away with body-coloured mirrors is primarily because they're so small, and fairly wide (on large stalks).
