This car is comfortable and quick considering the weight. Would have been a brilliant family car.

However, after searching the internet, found out they had some build problems with this model, all of which happened to me!

The parts cost more than the car!

I covered 47000 miles in my 605. Never any problems. I would have another without hesitation. I have owned 7 Peugeots in 15 yrs. I LOVE THEM!!!

1990 Peugeot 605 SL 2.0 from France

Summary:

Exceptional and reliable. Refined and rustic (little or no electronics)

Faults:

Starter faulty at 6000 miles.

Fragile lower plastic frame of the front seats.

Door-locks (magnetic) sometimes quirky.

Changed rear wheel brake-disks at 50000 miles.

A few plastic details are fragile and cheap.

General Comments:

Interior: it is as good as new after 14 years of use.

There is huge space with leg-room. It has a huge boot with a regular shape. The driving-position is perfect. Driving long distances is relaxing.

Exceptional road-handling:it is the safest car I have ever had. Wind (or lorries) have no side effect: it is a most stable car.

It is agile in spite of the size.

It has the comfort of a limousine for all passengers.

It is most reliable in spite of the reputation. After 14 years of careful driving, I have, up to now, spent virtually no money on anything.

Most economical on the motorway (less in city) ; it is like a diesel, if you drive smoothly. The engine is like new. It is also reliable despite the reputation.

It is an extremely elegant vehicle despite its age.

1990 Peugeot 605 SV3.0 V6 from Hungary

Summary:

It's a high performance car, at a relatively low price

Faults:

There was electrical problem is the electronic suspension system.

Had to replaced the right hand drive shaft.

Fuel pump vent wrong.

I needed to change the ignition module.

Front hub bearings went wrong.

Brake fluid reservoir rubber sealings (4) needed to replace. There was not original available at dealer.

Minor problems at the front suspension.

General Comments:

It's a very comfortable fast car.

Big enough for a family.

Other side I feel I might be in a sport car when accelerating.

It was made from good quality materials inside and outside.

The well working electric suspension system gives good driving performance and stability on the road at extremely high speed too.

It was a good idea to buy it.

It is 14 year old, but looks like a young car.

1990 Peugeot 605 2.0 from France

Summary:

Exceptional, it does not deserve the usual criticism.

Faults:

Trouble with the starter (3000 kilometers)

Trouble with door-locks (3000 kilometers)

Plastic frame next to the front-seat is fragile.

General Comments:

This car is exceptional as far as road-handling goes. Never had any car of that ilk.

This car is roomy and superbly comfortable. It is as nice as the most recent limousines. Plenty of leg-room.

The 2.0 liter engine is very economical on the motorway. I would not be so positive in city traffic.

It is still sleek and elegant, with poise.

Quite comfortable and stable, maneuvers bends with ease and still stands out among other new brands of cars.

1990 Peugeot 605 SRi 2.0 Injection from Denmark

Summary:

Good-looking executive drive

Faults:

The light is gone in the clock/temperature display. Probably just needs some contact cleaner!

I've had the handbrake tightened.

General Comments:

This is my second Peugeot, and I have just bought a third, this time a 505 V6.

I find the reliability well above reputation. Have not had serious problems with my Peugeots.

The 605 is a great looking car, with plenty of interior space.

Fairly priced, a lot of car for the money.

Handles superbly, and is very comfortable on the long stretches.
