Peugeot 207 (2006-2014) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Distinctive good looks	Not as good to drive as a Ford Fiesta
Economical petrol and diesel engines	Early models lack Bluetooth
Excellent safety standards for a car of this age	If the 207 CC's folding roof fails it's expensive to fix

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 207 (2006-2014) is a stylish and economical supermini that replaced the 206 in 2006. Available as a three-door or five-door hatchback, an SW estate, or a CC convertible with a folding metal hard-top, the 207 offers something for different needs. The 2009 facelift brought subtle styling updates and added Bluetooth connectivity to later models. With 2.5 million cars produced before the 208 replaced it in 2012, there's plenty of choice on the used market. The 207 delivers a comfortable ride and sharp steering, though it doesn't match the Ford Fiesta for handling engagement.

Diesel engines are the standout choice, offering excellent mid-range pulling power and real-world fuel economy of 55-60mpg. The Economique models achieve around 60mpg, whilst petrol versions manage 40-45mpg depending on engine size. The GTi variant, with its turbocharged 1.6-litre engine producing 175bhp, provides a more spirited drive. Safety is a strong point with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and six airbags. However, rear legroom is cramped for adults, and boot space is modest at 270 litres, though the SW estate offers a generous 428 litres.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking distinctive styling, economical running costs, and a safe, comfortable family car; those wanting a practical estate (SW) or stylish convertible (CC).

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling, spacious rear seating, or large boot capacity; those in Ultra Low Emissions Zones (diesel models don't meet Euro 6 standards).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 207 if: You value distinctive styling, economical running costs, and a safe, comfortable family car; you want a practical estate (SW) or stylish convertible (CC); or you're seeking excellent value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling, spacious rear seating, or large boot capacity, or you live in an Ultra Low Emissions Zone.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 207 (2006-2014) is a stylish and economical contender in the used supermini market, offering distinctive looks and low running costs. Whilst it doesn't match the Ford Fiesta for driving dynamics or the Vauxhall Corsa for value, its excellent safety credentials, economical engines, and variety of body styles make it an appealing choice for budget-conscious buyers. The SW estate and CC convertible variants provide practical and stylish alternatives to conventional hatchbacks. However, cramped rear seating and modest boot space may deter those prioritising passenger comfort or luggage capacity.
