    Can anyone confirm or repel from ones own experience that the front
    suspension of a 406 estate 3.0 liter is much weaker than that of a 2.0
    liter fuel powered estate. The 3.0 liter is from 2002, the 2.0 liter
    from 1999 (model 2000)?
    I was a bit disappointed of the 3.0 liter roas behaviour compared to
    that of the 2.0 liter. Am I alone in this experience?

    Its not weaker, it will be better, but the 3.0 has a lot more weight up
    front to deal with, which is gonna adversly effect the handling.

    It shouldn't be but it does sit lower because of an uprated suspension
    system. Incidentally what tyres are you using. I've Pirelli which is a
    softer compound but gives a better grip.
