The PEUGEOT 406 (1996-04) 4DR SALOON 2.0 GTX AC SN is a mid-sized, four-door family saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. In the UK it sat in the mainstream family-car class, offering a roomier, more traditional alternative to smaller runabouts and competing with cars such as the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Vectra and Volkswagen Passat. With a 2.0-litre petrol engine, air conditioning and a comfortable cabin, this 406 is best suited to couples or families wanting relaxed everyday travel, motorway journeys and useful boot space. Its calm ride and understated styling are typical strengths of the model, while the saloon shape may be less handy than a hatchback for carrying bulky items. It is a sensible used choice when condition matters more than newer-car gadgets. Mycarcheck.com logged nine checks across two VINs, a small sample.
