An excellent purchase. I traded in a 407 Diesel for the 3 litre Petrol V6 and don’t regret it for a minute. I got it pre-registered with 50 or 60 miles on the clock and saved a fortune by driving down south to pick it up after getting a good deal on it. It was 10 months old when I picked it up and it still only has 11,500 miles on the clock after all this time. It runs like a dream and the only thing that has been replaced is a clutch slave cylinder, which was done under warranty.

I bought my car on a whim. Ruled by my heart, not my head. I should do that more often. The car is smooth, comfortable and quiet. The sound system and climate control are worthy of cars starting at £50 000. I bought mine from a Peugeot Dealer and it was pre-registered with just delivery mileage on the clock (10 to be precise). So I paid £8000 less than list price. Work it out ! After 25000 miles no problems so far. What kind of new car with that spec can you get for that price ?. Answer - You can’t. The performance is excellent, for motorway driving. Great torque range at the higher speeds. Accept the higher road tax and just drive. Enjoy!

Picked up the car pre-reg for a very decent price, so a lot of kit and spec for the money. First year day to day use no issues except of course expected poor fuel economy ranging from 27mpg average to 33mpg being particularly light footed all on typical mixed journeys. Troubles started in year 2 and are ongoing. Gearbox failed (syncromesh amongst other issues) so dealer dropped, stripped, repaired and refitted. The crashing gears resolved but now it’s very notchy and won’t ever be top of the line again so to speak. Not good for a car with under 20k miles that has had a pretty relaxed life. The parking sensors have never properly worked and I am now on the 4th visit to get them replaced. The paint is very soft and will scratch just by looking at it. Other issues that have started yto materialise are minor but evidence of longer term quality issues such as door handles starting to stick and the ignition barrell sticking and now at 25k miles, despite new tires and dilligent tracking / alignment, the whole car is starting to feel vague, rattly and flacid. Also residuals are horrific so very glad I paid significantly under "list".

Uncompromisingly designed for super torque power cruse driving, the 407 v6 twin turbo coupe oil burner muscles itself around the highway with incredible finesse and confidence. Why this remarkable coupe was marketed as 407 I shall never know as it is only the design lines of the panels that provide the visual association to its saloon brother. But that’s where the similarity ends as nothing on the saloon it brought over to the coupe it’s a completely different car. I owned a top of the range 407 saloon 2.0 diesel and wanted a coupe so purchased the 407 coupe thinking that I would be getting the saloon with two doors. Nothing could be further from the truth. The dual turbochargers kick out torque so relentlessly there is just no waiting for power and it is delivered effortlessly and under full control of the hyper stiff chassis. Purchased mine for £6.5k at 2.5 years old but if you have money to burn then buy a Germanic badge for loads of money more, three times more. But if you’re just a regular man that wants your money to take you as far as you can as fast as you can, then get one of these kick arse beasts and enjoy.

A car I had hankered after for a long time; making a mistake and buying a Mini Cooper S first, but sold that mighty quickly for the 407 Coupe. This is a fine, fine car and a good job we don’t all listen to the motoring pundits... it makes the exclusivity just that more special. The car succeeds in every department, from smooth driving and good performance, to the looks of the car; so very singular; not a bit like the other Germanic offerings. I feel that the interior is a genuine high point - especially with the grey leather, well-appointed and luxurious in a way that decent French cars always have been and it is so like being in the very able Citroen C6 with whom it shares so much. A commendable motor carriage.
