if your looking for a small hatchback thats cheap to run,insure & looks good.. then look no further.i bought my wife this car for her birthday..in jan last year at bristol street peugeot here in harlow.essex.its a 5 door 1.6 207 sport hdi 90 brake bhp..its blue..& has been brilliant..i really do recomend this car to anyone looking for a cheap little car..it was on a 56 reg & had 42,000 miles & one previous keeper,we had a old 03 reg,1.8 tdi ford focus estate with nearly 185,000 miles on it..i got lucky & sold that to a mini cab company for £1650..so i was on the hunt for a new car..i was going to go for another diesel ford focus at my local gates ford in harlow but as i was heading down there i saw the peugeot on the front of the local peugeot dealers forecourt..it looked the part alloys fogs,etc..it was also blue my wifes favourite colour...i took it a test drive there & then..& bought it..weve owned it a year today.& its been faultless ive now done 56,000 miles so 12,000 miles..its mainly used for the school run & shopping as we both use scooters to go to work..plus points are ....it never drops below 55 mpg in town.it hasnt used any oil/water at all!!. headroom is good,has a great boot,has been very reliable with no faults,,however negative points are..the engine bay is very tight,ie to change a headlighht bulb took me over 30 mins as i couldent get my hand in ,rear legroom could be better but is ok,the kids are ok but adults struggle, short trips are ok but longer journeys are a no no. sometimes when at idle inside the cabin,there is a strange bearing ie ,metallic noise,but if you press the clutch it goes away,its not a mans car as it struggles for power having only 90 brake horses its ok & will sit all day at 80 mph,loaded with a 500 l roof box etc & give 55 mpg..but its no vw passat 140 tdi estate im glad i didnt buy a 70 bhp 207 as i was offered one,mabye the 110 bhp car is better??i may get it chipped later this year when clean it loks great though, but i found the worst problem was its tyres..it came with michelins, & these have a very hard compound ie are very hard.i now need 4 tyres & im getting 4 budgets on for £200 fitted ie 195 x55 x16v.. if you go over a bump/ pot hole you certinly know it,as the suspension is set up very hard..its no lexus gs 300..but overall its good ,no electrical gremlins, etc.it starts first time every time & as mentioned earlier has not used a drop of oil or water.the gearbox is good with no notchiness or issues.did i mention the road tax is only £35..im keeping this till my warranty /finance runs out in 2013 & i will buy a 308 estate diesel just for a bit more space..or a skoda yeti or a vauxhall insignia diesel?? 8/10..take one a test drive you wont be dissapointed!!!!

my sister bought her 207 diesel from peugeot main dealer with 12000 miles on the clock . and what a disapointment !!!! first time i saw the car you could see the door had been re sprayed a very poorly for a nearly new car ,
anyway she had the car about 6 months and found it difficult and sticky to select gears . took in for routine service and report fault as car was under warranty .. chief mechanic couldnt fault gear change !!! a few months later it got worse . i tested car and when changing down from 5th to 4th you had to select neutral first . wiggle it a little bit then select 4 th gear . took about 2/3 seconds to change gear . my sister had just got used to using 4 gears instead !!! . i advised her to take car back and get it checked again at maindealers .. it was agreed there was a fault .. and new part was ordered from france .. and car was eventually fixed within a week
so if you want small econimcal car with a CHOCOLATE GEARBOX please buy a peugeot

This car looking like suitable on the road but when you take a hole on the road the car can spin a little bit. When the engine starts there was strange noise at the transmission side, like a bearing noise when the clutch pedal was pressed the noise is gone, you can take the engine noise inside, also while the gear changing after 2000 rpm the engines has a strange noise when the clutch pedal was pressed.
