The Peugeot 407 SW is one of the best looking estates on the road - with its angled rear and short overhang it has certainly left the boxy estate looking dated. But is it style with no substance? For the average 4.2 family the 407 SW should have what it takes as long as you don’t have any six footers to accommodate.... read more

Love the car. Great on the motorway or on the A roads. So quiet for a diesel. The doors are huge so when in a tight parking spot, I have found it easier to put down the window than open the door to get out then just keep the lock button pressed on the remote for 2 - 3 seconds and that closes the windows and locks the doors.

When writing my review I forgot to mention the most annoying fault ever: It BLOWS bulbs with unbelievable frequency; every week at least one bulb needs replacing.

I drive a Peugeot 307SW 1.6HDI 110bhp. The car is used as a Taxi. The 307 has proved to be a spacious, well appointed car with few faults. The main gripe I have with the 307 range is the lack of lumbar support. If you suffer with back problems this car will not do you any favours.Faults: elec window switch on drivers door only operates drivers window. Heater regulator packed up. Exhaust cat anti block fluid runs out at 80 to 100k dealer job expensive. A/C lost gas reason not yet known. Thats about the faults. The good. Fun to drive, flexible torquey engine. Fantastic on fuel. Handles well enough. Overall easy to live with and own. Great pity theres no lumber support.

Having similar problem with E7 SE, creaking noise coming from offside area after about 4,000 miles or 2 months. Peugeot dealer renewed track rod arm and still problem so they then said it was a problem with lubrication on suspension. The dealer did that and still problem exists. Vehicle has now done 12,000 miles and dealer has ordered suspension unit; waiting for delivery of same. Will let you know if this cures problem.

Do not buy this for your children!!! The 107 is economical and covered by a three year warranty which is great but at the end of the day its an elderly ladies car. Other than its lack of style the 107 is ridiculously light and when there is a slight gale blowing you best stay in the slow lane of the motorway or have cat like reactions because you could be headed for calamity. When it comes to storage space the boot is non existent so its no good for shopping or carrying anything more than a carrier bag. All in all the 107 along with its siblings the C2 and Aygo are not for anyone below the age of 50, sorry but its not practical, its not functional and its certainly not cool.

I have just got a 206 after previously driving a Zafira. The reason for getting the 206 was the fuel economy which is really fantastic, ten pounds worth of diesel has taken me to places that would have cost twenty five, thirty quid in the other car. My main worry with having a young family was space but yet again; pleasantly surprised, two child seats in the back; no worries and there is room for a child in between them. The drive is excellent and, more importantly, fun. Great extras i.e cd multichanger and climate control. Cannot recommend highly enough get one!

I purchased this top of the range model at a great price with only 12K on the clock. The drive is magnificent and the engine is full of torque at all stages and has blistering acceleration. The car handles superbly and once you get used to the multitude of switches on the main console it really is quite simple to operate. The SAT Nav is competent and the handfree phone system is superb and allows me to be far more productive on the road than with a Bluetooth connection to a Blackberry. Front tyre wear is typical from this kind of vehicle and a price worth paying for the shear exhilaration of the ride. Always had Volvo before but the test drive convinced me there was another kind of driving experience to be had. So far nothing to complain about. Will definitely buy again as this car is great value for money and safety features tick all the boxes for family protection.

Nice, but a bad 2-tronic gearbox which is a pity as with a good gearbox it would be a nice city car.
