Space? Who needs space?
Get yourself a Peugeot 207 RC and you’ll see what bliss is. And it’s fairly cheap, at least here in Lisbon, Portugal ,Europe.

I’m getting one to replace my Toyota Auris.. which btw, I really like.. great quality, but unfortunately, just not fun.

Guppy. I have one and the Glass roof surprisingly does not heat the car up in summer the blind does a great job.
I have even had the blind back on a 35+ degree day with the aircon on medium strength and the car was nice and cool. Plus the windows are tinted so I didn’t get sun burned either.

It does come with a blind, I just wish they had the option of a normal roof. Not sure if the glass will heat up the car more than a regular roof.

Guppy. To the best of my knowledge, the glass roof comes with a blind.

The only thing stopping me from buying this car is the glass roof. I wish this was an option. Fair skin, Australian summers and glass roof don’t mix.

I know what your getting at, and I understand. However this car is not only about luggage space. Although for a car its size it has heaps.
It is more about the ride, handling, style(like it or not) and the economy. It is built for Europe. Like it or not, I think Australia is on a one way down hill track to Europes petrol prices. And when that day comes I think Australian’s will feel very differently about cars like this one. I know I do, I don’t cringe when I pay for my petrol anymore. And in my case. I havn’t run out of lauggage space yet.

Oh, well Duck, then I guess your right buddy. $7K+ more and all that extra petrol and the higher depreciation of the larger car. Well then I gues you will be saving money.
In opposite world anyway. I guess for that 3% of the time you will need that extra space, boy will you be laughing.

By the way Jimbo the commodore wagon (omega) is 37 and a half K not 40K+!

seriously anyone who calls a pug ugly then says buy an omega doesnt warrant credibility. and the look of the pugs do age very well as someone else stated. the 206 still looks better than almost all cars in its class, nearly 8-9 years on??!! an I30?? while its a good car, its main claim is it now looks more like a european car. you can put your I30 next to my 207 any day and you will get laughed at.

sorry fabio, but your not the most beautiful man in the cosmos, but youve probably been lucky a few times ;)

Snowman,
Yeah, I loved this car!! This was first on my wish list, until the bank intervened and I had to look a bit lower and got an i30 lol.

Thats a win for you man!!!! I30 Sh#ts on the 207

Sorry Duck I don’t mean to be rude but no one has offered anything on this car but that they think it’s ugly and an apples and oranges comparison.

Jimbo — Thu, 08 May 2008 12:08:47 +0000

Duck do I even have to explain how dumb you sound. 40k+ petrol guzzler compared to a 29K Frugal small wagon??????????

By: Duck

Duck — Thu, 08 May 2008 09:00:47 +0000

Na…………sorry! The exterior is very questionable! The rear is as ugly as hell! The front isnt ugly but i am seriously starting to hate Peugeots NEW big ugly frog grill! Only good 2 things i like about it is nice interior (way better than external if u know what i mean!) and the price.

Now i know peugeot and holden are not in the same class(the only similarities are that they both have lion badges) but would u save money to buy a bigger load holder like a Omega Sportswagon or ^ this?

My husband and I bought a standard 207 a few months ago and we couldn’t be happier but in retrospect we should have waited for this one.

The BMW-PSA 1.6L Turbo just won the engine of the year in its class. The petrol model of this car has the BMW engine without the turbo. Yet no reviewer ever looks at the petrol touring????

The thing is, with the French, their designs age well. Japanese cars look hot now, then in three years look pants. They age disgracefully.

My 405 Mi16 still gets head turns. My FIAT Punto will still look refreshing when I roll up in 10 years time next to the next abomination of a Corolla at the lights.

All Euro cars are like that. Same goes for classic Citroens too. A fine example the C6 is. I’d buy that over any BMW or Merc if I was looking in the $100K+ ballpark.

People who knock pugs haven’t driven one.

IMO the french, particularly Peugeot/Citroen, are way out in front with styling, yes it can be hit or miss at times but they c9ontinually push the threshold where Ford and GM do not.
THis little pug I think is super, great styling reasonable performance and not too dear. Sure to be a winner with the cost conscious buyer. Bear in ind the fule savings alone will buy this car. If its too small then buy the 308.
