Peugeot 407 Saloon 2.0 HDi SE (136bhp) 4d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
A company car, so not really an issue for me.
Costs
Terrible fuel economy. Lucky if I get 40mpg at 70mph on motorway. Usually average 37 to 38. Really disappointing and not competitive in class. VW/Audi vastly superior. Even Volvo D5 which is a 2.4 with far more performance was far more economical.

On the road
Driving
Handles well. Refined on motorway. A little fidgety on bumpy roads.
Performance
OK, but disappointing when compared with main stream competitors.

Living with it
Reliability
Lost of niggly problems. Coolant level sensor faulty, window switches erratic, sometime they work sometimes they do not. Brake pad wear indicator showed pads needed replacing after 4k miles! Many attempts to fix, then eventually replaced pads to fix it.
Image
Looks great, good exterior finish.
Comfort
Good driving position once seat position sorted. Seats are OK but have used better.

Security and Service
Security
Easy to disarm cabin motion sensor when leaving windows slightly open.
Service
Awful. Unhelpful, dismissive, do not return calls, then phone me enquiring why they have had a part on their shelves for the last 3mnths for my car!
