Hi, Just my 2 cents worth: i own a 2008 207 XS HD and I am very pleased with everything. We have all the options as standard in South Africa. I manage and average of 5.3l/100kms and get about 900Kms to a 50L tank of diesel.

The power is brilliant as I hardly have to gear down. The only down side is the cost of parts/services as all the parts are imported.

Hello! Ofcourse this car comes with ESP. After the XR modell they all come with ESP. I have just bougt the Peugeot 207 GT. But only the 120Bhp. I live in Norway and here the cars are very expensive. In $ i payed 55 000$.

What’s all this about safety???

The geniuses at Peugeot Australia have, in their wisdom, neglected to offer traction control on this car. You can’t even option it.

The benefits of this safety feature are widely acknowledged: I believe the state of Victoria will introduce legislation requiring this feature on all cars sold there in the very near future. Amen!

It’s the ONLY way to get the manufacturers/importers serious about safety in their products.

The lack of traction control/ESP is the ONLY reason we won’t buy this car. And I bet we’re not the only ones…

driven 207, 207 GT and 207GTI, also driven polo and golf,
refinement of this car is superior to fiat and astra would easily be on par to VW, build quality better than all. the 30k car has new superior traction control and brake assist and ABS, cruise control is a $250 option. i couldnt fit my bodyboard in the boot of a 206 but it DOES fit in a 207. steering for the 207 is par with anythgin else in this range. i have personally had 4 adults in the standard 207 with no problems.

and for the GTI version, id suggest everyone go test one, its cheaper than its rivals and its power is more useable, honeslty who drives at 5500rpm or more in city or highway driving. not many and if you dont your standard turbo is a waste of money. the 207GTIs full power kicks in at 1600rpm!

yes im a fan but hey, ive actually driven them…

It is expensive, weights more than 1300kg. its half size bigger than outgoing 206, but inside it is marginally bigger, rear seat cramped, boot space small for an car bigger than 4 meter long. its low on refinement, steering has no feel. Safety, no stability control, no cruise and it costs $30000 on road. Buy polo or an sporty Astra and have look at the Fiat too. Anthony do you work for PEUGEOT?

You missed the Fiat Punto Dynamic 1.3l multijet in your lineup of diesels. It’s cheaper looks better, I know I have one.
To Steve, have a look at the fiat too, such a great car.

Excellent review!

I’m in the new card market at the moment and this is yet another car I will have to try and test drive myself.
