Smooth driving little car. Well finished with a few extras. Looks good with fog lights and tinted windows etc.

Hi there, I have a Nov ’07 Peugeot 207 1.6 HDi 90 Sport.
To drive, it is very comfortable, there’s lots of adjustment in the sporty bucket seats that feel like they’re hugging you. It’s pretty smooth on the road, no unwanted wind noise although on poor surfaces there’s a bit of tyre noise, though this is probably because I am using cheap tyres which means the rubber is very hard. The car handles neatly, quite a bit of fun on a twisty road infact and the steering sends good feedback to the driver. I can’t really complain about the car in this area.
Running costs are superb, I easily get 650 miles to a full tank of diesel and my right foot is fairly heavy at times. Cost’s me 78 euro to fill up over the border in Monaghan (1.54.9 Euro per litre), although I remember when I first got it I filled it for 45 Euro! The VRT is really cheap, £30 a year! On a trip from Armagh- Newry- Belfast- Newry- Armagh it’ll average 60 MPG all day long!
Reliability and Build Quality haven’t been an issue, I never needed any work done under warranty and it still hasn’t required any work apart from servicing every 12.5k miles and the timing belt which I had done at 70000 miles, even though Peugeot told me it didn’t need done till over 100k. The cabin is well screwed together, a few wee rattles which come and go but nothing has fallen off inside or outside.
I must say, after driving 95000 miles over the past 5 years I really have grown a bond with it. Never once has it let me down, the spare wheel hasn’t even been used! Once the new 208 is launched I’ll be parting with my 207, will really miss it! I definitely recommend one as long as it isn’t the 1.4 8v 75bhp engine, I had one as a courtesy car when mine was being serviced and it was dead as doornails, the 1.4 VTI 95 is much livelier! Had a 1.4 HDi 70 for a day, was also dead as doornails but scarily economical, I averaged 67MPG on a 120 mile round trip!
