Peugeot 207 For Sale - Used Peugeot 207

Why buy one?

This is just one of the best-looking superminis. It's one of the best, full stop.

With the 207, Peugeot has remembered how to make small cars fun. There's a range of willing engines and sharp handling to match. It's quiet and refined enough to tackle regular motorway drives, too, with a comfortable ride.

Inside, the 207 is well made, and the boot can easily swallow the weekly shop.

Why think twice?

Strong demand means a used Peugeot 207 isn't the cheapest of superminis. Rear-seat space, in particular legroom, is limited compared with some rivals.

How safe?

Every model comes with a respectable roster of safety kit, although it's a shame stability control isn't standard across the board. Should the worst happen, a second-hand 207 should offer good protection. It scored five out five when tested by crash test experts Euro NCAP in 2006.

What might go wrong?

A used 207 should prove a reliable buy, if not quite as dependable as a Honda Jazz or Toyota Yaris. We've heard of the odd problem with the dashboard's LED display, but nothing major.

What do the experts say?

'The 207 is proof that Peugeot is still a master when it comes to small cars. It's roomy, well equipped, and attractively styled.' Parkers.co.uk.

Anything else I should know?

The CC version has a folding metal hard-top which gives the security of a coupe but with top-down motoring whenever the sun shines. It's not cheap, though.
