Peugeot 207 CC (07 on) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
Last Updated: 15 July 2010
The 207 CC is a stylish and well equipped small convertible that won't leave you cold in the winter. It uses a fully automatic metal folding roof with no levers or catches to release, so at the push of a button it's a convertible 25 seconds later. Its predecessor, the 206 CC, was plagued with roof problems on early models and lacked refinement. Luckily, these shortcomings have been addressed and this Peugeot feels well made. It's also good to drive, fun and has decent luggage space. There are two seats in the back, but as they're small and there's little legroom, they're really just for show and only any use as extra luggage space.

Safety

Like the hatchback on which it's based, the 207CC has a top five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating. There’s also a comprehensive safety package, which includes five airbags (dual front, side and driver’s knee), pop-up rollover hoops (in the event of a rollover, they’ll raise, explosively, in 175 milliseconds), ABS and electronic brakeforce distribution.

Reliability

The original 206 CC had some teething troubles – most notably the roof that would get stuck while closing. However, that car was the first of its type and the problems were quickly sorted. But we’re holding off judgement until we’ve heard from owners.
