Re: [Peugeot-L] Which handles better--505 sedan or wagon?

I'd say the Wagon is more predictable, and better for most drivers. Seems to handle like many live-axle RWD cars in the back, which is what one would expect.

The sedan on the other hand is unlike others. High body roll, but even so, you can pretty much "modulate" the behavior of the rear in all 3 directions with careful and timely throttle control. Once you drive a 505 sedan for a while and practice aggressive maneuvering, you learn how to do it quite well. Pretty amazing turns and high-speed changes for a car it's weight!

The font suspension is amazing, while the back is definitely strange, but they work well together!
