The sensor is on that specific place, otherwise the wiper doesn't wipe it clean. For the same reason why it's on the left side of the mirror in a 307 (where ...
Well, the 206’ RH wiper wipes it dry smack dab through the middle, so that’s why the sensor can be positioned there. I don’t quite get the last remark...
The auto in the 407 is quite a good box IMO. Both the 4 & 6spds are smooth which is a major requirement of any auto. The only issue I have with them is there...
I remember Justin's 307 will hit the rev limiter and hold that gear, but I never experienced it with the loan cars of 206 and 307... The 307 auto gearbox is a...
... Ahh, not quite - when you hit the rev limiter in second, it will upshift. However in second, it will allow you to pass the red line and hold the gear. I've...
Justin, the two auto 407s I drove both changed gears (both up and down) without large increases in accelerator pedal input. An example: I was driving on a...
I'm driving a loaner 307stationwagon (not SW) -my rear wiper strikes- and I think also the manual (cable operated) gearbox is much smoother than the ones on...
That's strange. The car will downshift in tiptronic mode, if you give the pedal a shove, but it shouldn't downshift (unless you are at some ridiculously low...
Paul, what's the difference between an SW and a StationWagon? Cheers Simon ... '00 206 GTi On Tue, 9 Nov 2004 08:51:02 +0100, Paul Van Lieshout (PVL)...
I certainly wasn't at a low level of revs. From memory about 3-4k in 3rd. A small amount of input from the right foot and down to 2nd it went, only to...
The 307 only can be bought in DK (at least) as a Stationwagon and as an SW. The main difference is that the rear seats are in a Stationwagon a bench (like...
Sounds like the OZ 307SW is a mixture of both. No 7 seat option or glass roof, but the fitout is the soft plastics, and comes with roof rails. I don't think...
Hi 407 fans. Just joined the group. I'm from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The 407 have been introduced in Malaysia just recently and it seems before I could lay...
Hi Olivier, Just to tell you the story of how I got to know about the 407..... I actually went to a car dealer to test drive the Mazda 6. While waiting for...
hi jimmy wow thats a big chunk of cash u are laying down... 200Ks... but thats to be expected, i guess. u shld count your blessings that you are not buying a...
RM200,000 is for the 2.2 litre. The 2.0 litre is RM165,000 (US$43,000), nevertheless still substantial. It's all because of the Government protecting Proton,...
Walking past the Brisbane Volvo dealer (Fortitude Valley) on the way home yesterday I spied an Aluminium 407 sedan being driven onto the forecourt amongst the...
Simon, Believe it or not, someone connected to AF was looking at buying that car - the car had only been owned for something like two days. It's a very ...
That must be a pretty strong compelling reason to do that - after only two days. Just wondering what it is. I'm about to put money down on the 407. Would be...
Yeah, After two days I can't see you could find out anything than what you'd find from a test drive or seeing one in a photo. However, could be something...
The last time I drove a manual Volvo was a 144 when I was still on my P plates. Dad had his 244DL (2.1L 3spd+OD Auto) at the time - his first of five Volvos. ...
... T5's $4k over the V6 - closest Pug in terms of performance, although not as quick as the T5. Did you do your usual audio tests & how was the A/C?...
