Peugeot 406

Hi



Yesterday I had my 406 Estate (2.0 HDi Yr2000) fully loaded in the back - i.e. rear seats down and a heavy load.



What I did notice was the car was much nicer to drive - any comments as to why I might have thought this??

Because estates are designed to take heavy loads,-more so than just a passenger and handbag. Uprated rear suspension so that it feels hard and unforgiving when unladen. Put some weight in there or attach a trailer and everything smooths out. Now if you had the Citroen with auto self levelling suspension.... :-) DaveK.

Peugeot estates used to ride properly unladen as well as unladen without all this auto self levelling stuff. They seem to have forgotten how to do it now - or can't be bothered :-(
