Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Suspension bottoms out on dips and vibrations from cat's eyes are transferred to the chassis. I've driven three 407s and they all squeal like pigs as the brake discs aren't a good grade of metal. The side mirrors are too small.
What's it like to park?
You can't see the boot or bonnet line so you rely on the sensors.
-
Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Torque-curve starts after 1st gear as there is some hesitancy at first.
What's most practical about your car?
The rear parking sensors, when they work. Peugeot diesels are great mile-munchers. I achieved just under 45mpg on a full tank (£60ish).
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Stereo controls by the steering wheel.
