Peugeots are great cars. Make no mistake. They are abused in Africa
and elsewhere because they can take it. However, if you're going to get
an old car - doesn't matter which make - you have to work on it to take
of deferred maintenance. I've done that with my Toyotas as well as my
505. The factory manual is your friend - more like lifeline. From the
factory they were great so bring them back to that point and you're
probably not going to be disappointed.
They are somewhat comperable cars with the exception of T having the
edge in build quality and attention to detail. And P having it in
styling and suspensions. P also leaves the "high end" alone so there
are cars that exceeds Peugeot's in performance and handling. Too bad
they left this market to BMW as I think they had a good shot at it.

Subject: peugeot v. toyota
Hello All,
I've been lurking for a week, this is my first post. I am presently
trying to sell a Cadillac so that I can buy my first Peugeot...not
counting the bicycle I had in Germany 20 years ago.
So, I know very little about Peugeot's and I'm here to soak up the
knowledge. I thought I'd contribute to the P. v. T. discussion, because
as a "non-Peugeot owner" I, of course, have the impression that T.'s are
basically the Maytags of automobiledom and French cars are not at the
top of the list for cars that don't break. I'm excited to learn that
among people who actually drive them, there is a lively debate as to
which is the more durable car! I hope I might come to believe that a 20
year old Peugeot is comparable to a 20 year old Toyota in this regard by
my own personal experience. Hope springs eternal!
