Being honest I'm not really a fan of the exterior of these. The interior and toys aren't bad though, and you spend most of the time inside a car anyway lol.
I don't care if it's cold, I have aircon and I'm going to use it
Not just that though, it's useful for demisting the windows on those early mornings

Driving it home I was averaging 48mpg over 70 miles, not too bad for standard engine.
Hopefully I'll get that up a bit after a decent service and remap
Damn that's much better than I was expecting! Think the factory figure are 44?
I believe so yeah, not sure what the standard torque is but it's so lazy to drive, never need to leave 5th gear really and I guess that's where the mpg comes from, just wafting along with hardly any engine load

Yeah man, I was expecting it to be a boat compared to a 306 but it's really not that bad atall, not
as nimble as a 306 but still certainly no slouch when it comes to the b Road
Cruise control is a nice luxury to have too, motorway contraflows, just click it on and don't worry about it haha

Selling the estate dude, just going to change a couple of bits then put a fresh mot on it. Too good a car to break or anything, I'm just bored of it tbh, wanted something new to cruise around in

I see, did it ever get a FMIC & cheeky stage 2?
I don't think I've ever seen a 406 I actually like the look of so I'm hoping your going to change my opinion...

I got all the parts I needed for stage 2, just never fitted because I got bored lol
I have some sort of vision for the coupe, just need to sort out the bits that annoy me first like the crack in the bumper and refresh the suspension
