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 an attractive and economical supermini that replaced the 206 in 2006. Available as a three-door or five-door hatchback, estate (SW), or stylish convertible (CC), the 207 offers something for different needs. The car grew in size compared to its predecessor, delivering improved practicality and space, though rear legroom remains tight for adults. With a 270-litre boot (428-litres in the SW estate), it trails some rivals for luggage capacity, but the low loading lip and easily folded rear seats make loading straightforward. The 207 CC's folding metal roof is a standout feature, though it compromises boot space when stowed.

The 207 drives well with sharp steering and a supple ride, though it doesn't match the Ford Fiesta for handling engagement. Diesel engines offer excellent mid-range pulling power and fuel economy, whilst petrol options are smooth but require revving for meaningful acceleration. The rare GTi variant delivers 175bhp and genuine performance. Running costs are impressively low, with diesel models achieving 55-60mpg in real-world driving and some Economique versions returning up to 60mpg. The 2009 facelift brought Bluetooth and USB connectivity to later models. Safety is a strong point, with a five-star Euro NCAP rating and six airbags as standard.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking distinctive styling, economical running costs, and a practical family hatchback or estate, plus those interested in an affordable convertible option.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising engaging handling dynamics, spacious rear seating, or the latest technology, or those requiring a large boot as standard.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 207 if: You're seeking a budget-friendly, stylish supermini with economical running costs, or interested in an affordable convertible option with practical estate alternatives available.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling dynamics, spacious rear seating, the latest technology, or require a large boot as standard.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 207 (2006-2014) is an attractive and economical choice in the used supermini market, offering distinctive styling and low running costs. Whilst it doesn't match the Ford Fiesta for driving dynamics or the Vauxhall Corsa for practicality, its combination of good looks, efficient engines, and strong safety credentials make it a sensible purchase for budget-conscious buyers. The availability of estate and convertible variants adds versatility, though the rear cabin remains cramped for adults. At around £2,000, it represents excellent value, particularly for those who value style and economy over sportiness.
