Peugeot 207 Hatchback (2006 - 2012) 1.4 16V S 3d (AC) (2007/07) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

The car isn't very bold, besides its big grill and large headlights, so it's more of a "fitting-in" type car, rather than a car to make a statement with.

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

My friends think the interior is very nicely designed and well presented, despite the use of cheap materials here and there. They don't like the limited space in the back seats.

Would you buy this car again and why?

I probably wouldn't because I like change, and you can tell that it is a budget car from things like cheap plastics on the door trims, and the fact that when you close the door, it sounds like you're throwing metal on the ground.

What are you likely to buy next?

I'm looking to buy a 2010 Fiat Punto Evo 5dr right now.

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£4,125

When did you buy the car?

November 2014

Did you get a good deal and why?

It was a clean, low mileage example so the price was a little higher than some models, but they offered 6 months tax and a full 12 months MOT and fresh service.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

It was a low mileage example and it was nearly immaculate.

What was the dealer like?

Nice to deal with, and local.

What's it like to drive?

The car has good speed sensitive power steering so it feels like it's adjusting to the road constantly. Lacks punch at low revs, but over 2500rpm, you can start to feel it pulling.

What's it like to park?

Easy to park because it's quite small and all-round visibility is rather good. Steering is fantastic so very easy to manoeuvre.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Sometimes reverse gear is difficult to get into which can be a pain. My boot light bulb blew so I was unable to see what was in the back when it was dark, but easily replaceable.

What's most practical about your car?

The car has a very small turning circle and the speed-sensitive power steering is very good. When the car is below 5mph, I can turn the wheel with just my little finger.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Mine was quite a basic model, so there weren't many frills on the car.
