I had a 504 Peugeot that was really a strong car with just the right
amounts of luxury and drivability [sic?] But, it had the turn signals and the
windshield wiper post reversed from the usual (as in American) location. As
long as I remembered the difference fine but if I was thinking about
something else I'd turn on the wipers or pull on the high beam lights when I
went
to turn. or turn on the turn signal when I wanted to use the windscreen
wiper. But it was a Diesel and that was before diesel became more expensive
than gasoline. And it gave incredible mileage!
Then a deal came up where I could get a 505 Turbo Diesel for an incredibly
low price. It was a beautiful car and it was really fast compared to the
504. Plus the turn signals and wipers were where they should be! I drove
that car for a long time without a problem. I finally gave both the 504 and
the 505 Turbo to a self help group. The only complaint I had about them was
they leaked so I couldn't leave them out in the rain. I always carried a
big sheet of clear plastic just in case it started raining when the car was
parked outside. But the 505 had really comfortable seats covered in a suede
like synthetic material. But being a diesel it didn't have any tachometer
(It didn't have a distributor)
