Peugeot 207 2009

5 star review

Just purchased a new 207. I am very pleased with the car so far except that occasionally the water temperature gauge dose not move at all until I have travelled at least 5 or 6 miles. Another time it will move to normal straight away even though the outside temperature is the same. Is there anyone out there who has noticed the same thing? It would be nice to hear from you.

Peugeot 207 SE Premium 90 2007

4 star review

Had the car now for 18 months and very pleased with it. No faults to date other than a slightly juddering clutch when in 1st and the car is not warmed up. I suspect a minor fluid leak onto the clutch plate but have yet to present the fault to the dealer as it doesn’t affect the car much. Interior is well designed and very well put together although it does need some reading lights in the back. The glass roof is superb and really makes the car feel spacious and light. I’ve got the 1.4 90BHP engine which I find is strangely well suited to motorway use but really struggles to move the car around town (and sounds like its in real pain over 4,000 rpm!). Oh, and the glove box is useless! Trouble with the 207 is its not really a Peugeot; it’s too well built (!) and the ride/handling are far too ordinary. However, I would certainly consider another as long as it had a bigger engine.

I love my car... We bought it brand new a few weeks after the launch and I’ve never looked back. Yes, we have had a few minor problems with it (such as the anti-pollution fault, which was sorted out by Platts in High Wycome, by replacing the sensor), but all in all, its a great car. Someone else said it is sluggish, which is true, but if you have only bought a 1.4 what did you expect?!?!? It has a smooth drive, and I always feel very safe while I am driving. There is plenty of space (I have a 1 year old son, so I have plenty to haul around) and enough room in the back for 2 adults. I’m already looking forward to getting my new 207 in Septemeber...

I have had a problem with the car door opening too wide unless you hold the door as you get out it swings wide open an has got damaged at the hinge. I would not recommend the 1.4 as it is very sluggish to drive doesn’t pick speed up moving off unless the gas pedal is down to the floor in which case you will only be doing about 18 miles to the gallon.

Owned this car for 18mths now - quite pleased with the equipment level and the interior space - not so with the bordering on dangerous gutless engine. Up-hills and pulling out at junctions are not to be taken with a pinch of salt. Just had the 20k service done at the main dealer which was cheaper than taking it to a normal garage’ then came the new brake pads £115, and the cv boot at £200 which I thought would be covered under the warranty but no, as 20000 miles seems a bit low for it to need replacing so got in touch with customer services who aren’t interested putting it down to ’wear and tear’, anybody else had the cv boot problem?

I bought a 1.4 207 sport almost 3 month ago it is my first car and is a great drive and also good on fuel. The stereo is great and the car looks great too. Recently, when I was out driving, a warning light came on saying de-pollution failure; the car has now become more sluggish and when I first start the engine it is bumpy until the engine heats up, could anybody tell me what is the cause of this and roughly how much it is to repair?

My car’s rev start shooting up and the car slows down if I try and go up hills. The dealer want to take out the gear box and examine the clutch. They say I will be liable and not the warranty if it turn out to be wear and and tear. However I have only driven 12,000 and never had any clutch problems with previous cars.

Peugeot 207 1.4 S 90HP 2006

3 star review

Performance-wise up to the standard of my previous 206s if not slightly better but generally a poorly designed car from a visibility point of view. The front roof pillars can hide a car especially when you are waiting to turn right etc. The dashboard trim is an aluminium frame which reflects badly on the windscreen when driving into the sun as does anything else on the dashboard. The windscreen is too raked, this is what is the cause of the problem, similarly the demisters don’t clear the screen because of this. Below the bumper is a plastic trim which hangs too low, and comes adrift every time I try to drive up a reasonable inclined slope, particularly at the Peugeot dealer I have it serviced at!

Peugeot 207 1.4 Petrol 2006

4 star review

During hot days when ambient temperature exceeds approx. 23 C and car is parked outdoor in a way that sun heats passenger cabin the following happens: When the driver starts the engine a message pops up on the display : "Airbags(s) or pretensioner seat belt(s) faulty", at the same time the airbag symbol comes on. The indications above remain on until the cabin temperature falls so the next time the engine is started (and cabin temperature is low) no fault occurs. This fault is independent of the state of passenger airbag (on/off) by the key switch. They changed the multi-message LCD head up display but no luck, the problem persists when hot.

The car is great except for the performance. The car will not go up hills very well. If you are pulling off up even the slightest gradient, it goes fine in first gear but then slows down completely in second. It is very dangerous!! as I have already discovered. We may have to get rid of the car which is only 2 months old, what a waste of money. The performance is comparable to a old 1.1 Fiesta.

I purchased my new 207 in October with an additional body kit which I had seen in the showroom. I had no problems until 4 weeks ago when the car broke down on the motorway with an indication of low oil pressure. The oil was fine and I was towed to the dealers that I had purchased it from. One month later I still don’t have the car and they are replacing the engine after many promises to have it fixed earlier. The excuses have been varied. I am disappointed with the service given and yet to have my car back.

The turbo whistles like a police car when cold, normal I am told, and the boot lid has to be primed to open and close properly, normal I am told but the cuts and bruises on my head dont think so. Dealer is useless no enthusiasm, unless I pay!! Wanted a Clio but they stopped doing the colour I wanted, should have chosen another a colour. Had Clio for 4 years no problems whatsoever.

After purchasing a fine looking Peugeot 207 Sport from our local Peugeot dealer just a few weeks ago, I’m sad to say that with only 200 miles and 2 weeks motoring the car is back with the dealer & off the road. The fault appears as a pollution system error showing up via the cars management system which took the dealer 5 working days to admit they didn’t know what was going on & ended up down loading the data to Peugeot direct for their review- why not that do on the 1st day I wonder. The manufacturer’s response and the dealer’s constant excuses why the fault cannot be sorted are very unimpressive- so far. May be we should have stuck with a Clio!

I have had this car for 1 year now. The first fault that occurred was that the speedometer just stopped working and dropped to 0 as did the rev counter when I was doing around 70mph on a duel carriageway. This was down to the EMU which needed to be replaced. After much quarrelling with the dealership I had bought the car from just 3 weeks previously I manage to get a courtesy car for free rather than paying around £11 a day for it. This was a good thing because it took 5 weeks to fix it rather than the estimated 5 days. Then the seatbelt warning light would come on intermittently with a warning saying that there was an airbag/seat belt pretension system failure. 3 trips back to the dealership and (fingers crossed) the problem seems to be solved. Finding fuel economy quite poor although that could be due to my driving! Having said all that, I still love the car and am planning to get the 1.6HDi within the next 6 months.

The car is lovely and picks up speed well however there seems to be a fault with the lights - its far to easy to turn them off by accident when switching between dipped headlights and full beam, I found myself going 50mph on a dark country road at night with no lights on and so having to do an emergency stop, it has happened to me twice in 2 weeks and also twice to my husband, its very dangerous, I don’t recommend it to anyone.

Picked up the car 2 weeks ago, and for the price it is a bargain. 1.4 engine pickes up well, great on fuel and also looks the part. Stereo system is great also and more importantly, feels safe to drive and easily fits 3 kids in the back.
