The 1991 Peugeot 405 Sedan makes sense for someone seeking a compact car with a manual transmission and front-wheel drive. Plan around 21 MPG overall, with lower efficiency in city traffic and better results on highways. The EPA fuel budget of $3,900 a year is substantial, so this sedan fits buyers who accept gasoline running costs as part of the package.
What it is
This 1991 Peugeot 405 Sedan is a compact car with front-wheel drive. It uses a 1.9-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and a five-speed manual transmission.
The figure to watch is 21 MPG combined. That is the EPA's combined city-and-highway measure for this sedan.
The numbers
EPA ratings are 18 MPG in city driving and 26 MPG on the highway. City miles pull the combined number down, while steady highway travel raises it.
The car's tailpipe output is 423.19 grams of CO2 per mile.

Who it suits
This sedan suits a driver who wants a compact gasoline car with front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. Its highway rating matters more if much of your routine is open-road travel.
Trade-offs
The 26 MPG highway rating is higher than the 18 MPG city rating, so stop-and-go use is less fuel-efficient. The five-speed manual also means the driver operates the transmission rather than using an automatic.
Verdict
Choose the 405 Sedan if a compact front-wheel-drive layout, gasoline power, and a manual transmission fit your needs. Its 21 MPG combined rating gives you a straightforward running-cost reference, while the $3,900 annual fuel figure shows the yearly expense attached to that rating.
