Has anyone had a 406 v6 estate? Stick an hdi badge on the back and you the ultimate Q car. Everyone thinks they're diesels..

Yep, I had one (R617 OSR if I remember correctly...). Only just dipped below the 8 sec mark to 60 though, so pretty quick but not lightning off the mark. Lovely sewing machine smooth engine and would do north of 140mph. Allegedly. As mentioned would do approx 33mpg on a run as well.

Unfortunately it was bedevilled with ECU problems and would turn into a kangaroo in built up traffic.

or get a 2.2 hdi with a 180bhp+ remap, 40mpg combined, sub 8 0-60

The owner should be shot for creating such a monstrosity.

Such a shame as it was once a lovely, rare car! My aunt has one of the last ones on an 03 plate and it's lovely to look at and to drive!
