    A great all-rounder that's good to drive, and neatly styled. With a sporty handling and comfortable seats it manages to serve up a good blend of performance and practicality, though three door versions - which feel cramped in the back - lack the family appeal of five door models. The supple ride is a real highlight, and ensures that the Peugeot remains composed and stable on all but the very roughest roads. It's quiet on the motorway too, which makes it a decent cruiser. Diesel versions offer good economy, but unless you plan to do big miles in the car, we would recommend sticking to the 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol editions.

    I have a 1.6i 16v 110bhp 3 door version of this car, absolutely love it. Rear seat space is not a problem as I can't remember the last time someone sat there and apart from problems associated with the high mileage (110k+, gearbox clutch and cambelt have all been replaced recently costing me lots) there have been no issues at all. Cost me £2500 4 years ago and still love it!

      I bought a 1.4 2007 model and quickly learnt to look more into the mechanical side of things haha but the time I had with it was very pleasant. It was such a comfortable and fun driving experience compared to the small powerless vehicles I'm used to. Miss it apart from the cloud of burning engine oil that followed me everywhere...

    This car is amazing. I bought it about a month ago and I love it. It's easy to drive and it feels a little sporty as well. I have the 1,6 110 BHP model with 3 doors and a glas roof... BTW my glovebox is much bigger than that one...

    A story 3 daughters 3 cars ford fiesta, toyota yaris, peugeot 206. When i bought them thought peugeot would not last the course. Fiesta sold after a year - crap rusty and damp unreliable 40k miles. Yaris and Peugeot still going strong after 6 years. Toyota only servicing, peugeot, servicing, pulley tensioner and coil pack. Both done 65k miles. Both feel very good, bodywork fantastic. Which do i like driving the best - the pug. Its true its got soul and is smooth, handles fine and supple. 1.1 engine. French cars are good Imo.

    It seems virtually impossible, but I'd love to see Peugeots sold in the US. Both the 207 and 307 are the only cars that could pry me away from my Golf. I was in Amsterdam and Munich a couple of weeks ago. An unscientific eyeballing of traffic says Peugeot has to be 1st or 2nd in the Dam. In Munich, it seemed like the most popular non-German make.

    And I suppose you can tell me a make/model where every single unit off the production line is 100% perfect? I could equally point out that the famous Volkswagen reliability let my father down when he bought a brand new Passat and had a never ending list of things go wrong with it. Of course that wasn't a reflection on the brand or model, just luck. An independent analyst in 2010, researching several insurance companies found the Peugeot 207 to be THE most reliable car over the first 5 years!

    I learned to drive in a 1.4 207 diesel, and I agree the gearbox is rubbery too, the engine is loud at anything over 60, it needed an extra gear. Also I disagree with the handing, it was fine at around a city, but at higher speeds it felt like the steering was connected with wallpaper paste, and the brakes are excessively sharp :(
