Peugeot 207 Hatchback (2006 - 2012) 1.6 HDi GT (110bhp) 3d (2006/06) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Not sure - guess I didn't want to go along with the crowd. Sporty - yet environmentally and pedestrian friendly.

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

Mixed reaction to colour - most really like the interior though. All agree the seats are not built for very large adults though.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Can't think of a reason why not - unless reliablity issues occur.

What are you likely to buy next?

Possibly an A4 Avant.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£6,650

When did you buy the car?

March 2010

Did you get a good deal and why?

Bought from local village garage near Farnham.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wacky orange paintwork, classy sporty interior, performance and economy, safety and lowish running costs.

What was the dealer like?

Excellent customer service.

What's it like to drive?

Great! Gearchange not at all sloppy (as many 207s are, apparently). Little low speed lag, very smooth and refined for a diesel when pressing on. Have just had near-bald front Pirellis replaced with Goodrich tyres, which improved handling and ride substantially.

What's it like to park?

Not too bad.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Only had a bulb blown.

What's most practical about your car?

Auto foldaway mirrors.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Panaromamic glass sunroof. Half leather seats nice too.
