Hi All Looking at one of these. Its 2006 with 86k miles on the clock. 6 speed tiptronic box according to the dealer. Would it be economical to run ? What do ye reckon of them. I know French cars do not have the best reputation for reliability? Thanks

The 2.0 hdi's are a good engine and the autoboxes don't give much trouble on these....no worries about dual mass flywheels..:)
Economy will work out around the low 40's as the autobox drops the mpgs.
If its the 407 zenith then it will have no Dpf..:)

You should be ok with the 2.0ltr as I don't think it is as temperamental as the 1.6.
Autos are rare but as row says, they aren't troublesome.
