I love my new 'French' Car: Ask me anything
Edited on Mon Sep-06-04 12:03 PM by JCMach1
After using taxis for one year we decided to bit the bullet and buy a new Peugeot 307 SW... Great mileage, safe, ecofriendly and built by Union workers.

It CAN seat up to 7... so there America take your SUV's and...

Wait a minute I am American...

&width=300

Mine is Cherry Red though...

My daughters named her 'Satine' after the French courtesan in Moulin Rouge... hopefully she won't have the same fate!

3. Peugeots are beautiful cars
I'm fond of the 406 coupé and the car that Peugeot uses in Rally Racing (I can't think of the name of it).

I wish Peugeot and Renault would return to the 'states but from what I heard that won't be until at least 2010.

Congrats on your car purchase...it's a beauty.

BTW, what does engine does your car have ? (I'm curious)

5. My first car was a Peugeot
A 1980 505 diesel sedan; it had almost 200,000 miles on it. A great car!!

6. You will have only to change the tires and the brakes if...
you drive very much. The rest is everlasting.

I prefer Renault than Peugeot, its cars are more original and funny. But both are very safe and well-made

8. The electronics package is also awesome
CD stalk control
HUD unit in the car center
Panoramic roof (not just a little moon roof)
side mirrors that fold inward when you park your car.
