To ensure fairness or accuracy of the review on Peugeot 406, I will invite TWO 406 owners to review on their car (especially member(s) of the Peugeot Owners Club Malaysia). You just have to e-mailed me your work (suggested layout: Looks, Interior, Drivability, Ownership proposition - eg. experience owning it) and I will post it here. Oh! Also, 1 picture of the car exterior and engine bay. Don’t worry, I’ll acknowledge your work. Since I’m not an owner, I have no position to review the 406.
