PEUGEOT 807 Road Test Reports and Car Reviews

Peugeot 807 2.0 Executive 2006

I bought the car for the internal space and the sliding doors - which are a huge boon with kids. The car is very comfortable to drive on long drives and achieves/maintains high speeds easily - but has poor acceleration. For a car it’s size I am happy with it’s handling. The internal layout gets a bit of getting used to but is very useful. However the niggles are quite numerous:- Due to it’s greater than normal width it is a tight fit in many car parks and I had dents in my doors thanks to other drivers in supermarket car parks within months. The upholstery on the drivers side has worn excessively. The electrics are unreliable with the electric sliding doors and windows stopping working when they feel like it. The aluminium tyre valves are prone to metal fatigue and snap off when you are putting air in. The service levels at the Peugeot garages seem poorer than other marque garages, in my experience compared to VW, Renault, Rover (RIP) & Honda.
