Peugeot

Looking for something with a bit of flair that zigs where others zag? The Peugeot 5008 should certainly fit that bill.

The new Peugeot SUV lobs into one of Australia's most congested and competitive segments. Can it justify the price tag?

The Peugeot E-Electric delivery van asks for a $30,000 premium over diesel models. Does it make smart business sense?

Peugeot’s 2008 has its work cut out in a highly competitive segment, Is the facelifted model a hit or miss.

A potential manufacturing defect in mild-hybrid Peugeot 2008 SUVs could lead to an engine-compartment fire.

Recalls were issued for a total of 38 different cars in the month of July, including some of Australia's best-selling brands.

The future of Peugeot in Australia remains uncertain as the local importer decides not to renew ties with the French brand amid low sales.

Volume is key to the revival plans for Stellantis, with a new platform to form the basis of 30 new models in a planned 60-model offensive.

While Australia is home to 67 car brands, these are the car makers that couldn't survive in the country. RIP.

Electric vehicles have become a common sight on global roads. But these car makers are still worried that consumers still don't want them.

While electric cars that come with a spare tyre are getting rarer in Australia, these models continue to buck the trend.

Somewhere in Trans-Ekulu Enugu town (Nigeria), I was driving behind my cousin in my 1976 Peugeot 504 GL, on our way to a wedding.Owner: Ikenna

It was love at first sight for Peter when he first laid eyes on his 2020 Peugeot 508 GT. Now that he's a 508 owner, has the love remained?

The peugeot 406 Coupe is undeniably one of the most attractive coupes ever designed. Little wonder when the company who penned the design also designed some of the best looking cars for Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Maserati to name a few. They are currently ridiculously cheap for a car that from the outside looks equally at home with the likes of the best of European exotics from the same era and importantly the design does not seem to have aged. From every angle the Italian flare of Pininfarina is executed to perfection, even better than the Ferrari 456 in my opinion. The 406 coupe is a rare beast being a unique amalgam of French, Italian and German engineering, designed and coachwork built and assembled in Italy using PSA mechanicals and the renowned driving suppleness of French suspension (which sadly has disappeared in subsequent models) and in my 2001 model the glorious smooth power of a V6 tweaked by Porsche. Most motoring journalists describe it is a cruiser more than a racer but it is amazingly agile for a large coupe meaning a Sunday fang through the hills is just as enjoyable as a long coastal drive. Sadly because they are so cheap to buy now, a lot of them are falling into the hands of people who either can't afford to maintain them or don't value their timelessness and too many are being scrapped. In reality, unlike an exotic Ferrari or Lambo the 406 Coupe is a derivative of the enormously popular 406 series of sedans and wagons. The shared mechanicals are fairly inexpensive and still available. Bodywise although they share no panels from the sedan or wagon the parts are available from wreckers and there are plenty of mod kits if you are that way inclined. Personally I love them stock. If there is one blemish on the desirability of the 406 coupe, it is that the interior is shared with the top of the range sedan....apart from a few chrome highlights on the dash and pininfarina badgework the inside is pretty much the same. However 2 can comfortably sit in the rear pews and the boot is huge so its an enormously practical coupe. If I was a millionaire with a big warehouse I'd be buying and restoring every manual 406 coupe I could find because without doubt they will be a desirable collectors car in years to come. Lots of features for its time....All leather interior, motorized seats....pillarless doors, windows auto close when shutting the door, sensors on lights and windscreen wipers. There are very few issues with this sports car. Rust is rare. The brakes are brembos and tremendous. The manual gearbox cable drives do stretch over time but are a relatively easy fix and available from Europe and not overly expensive. Like all engines, seals will start to leak with age and the cam covers on the 406 2.9 litre tend to leak on the rear bank as they get old or driven hard but again easily fixed with the right sealant by a good mechanic or Peugeot specialist. Normal wear and tear items, brakes, suspension bushes, engine mounts etc are relatively easy to get still. Just had the catalytic converters done on mine (usual for a car with 170,000ks) and again parts from the U.K. way cheaper than on my wife's Audi. So really what is not to love...particularly with a car that looks this good. So Mr Millionaire with a big warehouse, let me loose and lets start collecting these future classics....!
