Peugeot 607 (2000 - 2009) 2.2 HDi S 4d Auto (2003/03) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

I prefer comfort over speed and fashion. And I'm bigger than you!

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think it's fantastic and are quite jealous of the gadgets and luxury for such a low cost.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Well...I would prefer a RWD again, but otherwise...

What are you likely to buy next?

After having this level of luxury, if I can afford it, an A8 or a 7-series (before they went ugly)

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£3,200

When did you buy the car?

October 2008

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got a great deal; it's a huge amount of car for the money - mainly because it doesn't have a German badge on the front.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Cheap luxury

What was the dealer like?

Honest Northern bloke.

What's it like to drive?

Gorgeous - smooth, silent (double glazed, apparently) - 30mpg in town, 60 on motorways (using the Cruise Control). Seats go every which way electronically. Everything is automatic - lights, wipers, it even tells you when the tyres need inflating!

What's it like to park?

Would rather have parking sensors as it's so massive. Have run away from some parallel parking situations because of it. But the auto' box and one-finger power steering make it physically very comfortable.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nothing has gone wring on it at all.

What's most practical about your car?

It's HUGE - especially the boot - room for 5 BIG adults and at least 3 bodies in the boot (!)

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

It's got Traction Control, ABS and Skid Control. Didn't appreciate it until it snowed and I was terrified, having owned a RWD Omega previously - but the electronics all kicked in and everything was fine, in snow, ice, whatever - it managed it all.
