Performance:
Choose your engine carefully, because the 207 is on the hefty side. The 90bhp 1.4 is sweet, but the 1.6 petrol needs pushing hard. The 1.4 diesel feels weedy, too, and struggles to shift the 207 with any degree of urgency, although it’s economical. The 90bhp 1.6-litre diesel is much stronger.
Ride & handling:
Ride is something of a Holy Grail at Peugeot, and the 207 doesn’t let the side down. The electric power steering is light at low speed, but weights up as you increase pace, and the car changes direction eagerly. The ride is supple and controlled, although it is much firmer in the heavier diesel models.
Refinement:
This is one of the quietest superminis. Noise is almost non-existent unless you’re really working the car, although the 1.6 petrol can be raucous. There’s some transmission whine, with the 1.6 again the main culprit.
Behind the wheel:
The 207 caters for drivers of all shapes and sizes, thanks to a steering wheel that adjusts for both reach and rake and a height-adjustable driver’s seat on all models. The seats are comfy and there’s decent space all-round, while the instruments and switches are easy to use. The broad front screen pillars hamper visibility a little, however.
Space & practicality:
The 207 has masses of space for those in the front seats and there’s good headroom in the back. Rear legroom isn’t as generous as many rivals’ and cheaper models don’t have the hollowed-out seat backs of the rest of the range, but there’s just enough for tall adults. The boot is large and the rear seats fold to leave a longer - if not totally flat - load area.
Equipment:
The basics are there, but you need to step up a grade to get optional air-con. The SE comes only with five doors and has a full-length sunroof; the GT has stability control, dual-zone air-conditioning and 17-inch wheels. Urban, S and SE models look subtly different from the Sport and GT versions.
