[QUOTE="chrisc, post: 1096821, member: 746"] Years ago we had a Peugeot 404 Station Wagon. It was our family car for 12 years. Drove to Etosha Pan, Kaglahari game park on atrocious roads, once to northern Zimbabwe. Never let me down once. Very dated design, drum brakes on all 4 wheels, column shift and a 1600cc engine. But excellent road-holding. It had 16" wheels which was quite large in those days. The differential was a worm-gear drive, not crown wheel and pinion The one we had was a South African assembled model and had stiffer springs and uprated gas shocks. I think by the time I sold it, it had done over 300 000km I agree with Baseline that Peugeots today are a shadow of their former self. Far too complex and evidence of cost-cutting in some areas (plastic rocker cover, uintidy wiring looms) [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/i1Km2JN.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
