Advantages: Large spacious comfortable easy drive Disadvantages: Limited turning circle
...years, I changed to a Peugeot for the first time ever. After an initial period of discomfort, until I managed to get the best driving position, I have found the car most comfortable. The dashboard is just right, with not too much information and easily readable dials. The computer console at first is confusing, but after running through with the handbook, it is quite logical and easy to use. I would not (like one of the other reviewers) even try ... ...(with a local not a Peugeot garage) and it cost me £200 which included a new ABS sensor. This is the only failure since I have had the car - pretty good Eh? Onlong journeys, at say 70 -75 mph, the car is returning 48 - 50 mpg. Drving back home late at night recently al ong a dual carriageway at 65 mph, the consumption showed 62 mpg - WOW! however, I wouldn't like to drive like that all the time. I have used the car to its full extent, for removals, ...

Advantages: None Disadvantages: to expensive for its capeabilities
...upon the legal rights of peugeot to maintain their own view of how they think their vechicle should be described.
when I last looked this was a free country so i am going to say what I think anyway, protocol, protocol protocol.
I have been loaned one of these as a hire car after driving citroens for the past few years, I expected peugeot to have advanced their suspension forward to a more comfortable ride.
the 407 SW is very noisey with road noise ... ...a supermini.
come on peugeot you can do better , I hate it and wouldn't waste the money on such rubbish yet again their will always be someone out there who absolutely loves it.
and somehow the will manage to find its good points if it has any.
finaly the arm rest between the front seats hampers your seat belt fitting and is to high, the handbrake lever is to short which makes it hard to apply.
the window sill on the drivers side is to high and ...

Advantages: GREAT FAMILY CAR, GREAT SPACE AND FUEL CONSUMPTION VERY GOOD. HANDLES WELL. Disadvantages: CAN BE A BIT SLOW ON THE UP TAKE.
WHAT A CAR, WE BOUGHT ONE OF THESE A FEW MONTHS BACK. A VERY STYLISH LOOKING CAR, GREAT ROOM INSIDE AND FANTASTIC MASSIVE BOOT.
ALSO TOW LARGE CARAVAN WITH IT THIS IT DOES WITH EASE. I FIND THE CLOTH SEATS AND THE INTERIOR QUIET EASY TO CLEAN WHICH IS A GREAT JOB FOR WHEN THE LITTLE ONES GET IT GRUBBY. BRAKES ALSO GREAT ON THIS CAR. ALSO WHEN YOU FOLD THE BACK SEATS DOWN IN THIS CAR IT COULD AS WELL BE A VAN WHAT ROOM THE STUFF THAT CAN BE FITTED ... ...ANYBODY LIKE US WHO LOVES CARAVANING. ANOTHER FEATURE ON OUR CAR WHICH AGAIN IS FANTASTIC IS THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF, IT RUNS FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK ITS MASSIVE!! IT ALSO REFLECTS THE HEAT FROM THE SUN,YOU CAN ALSO TURN A KNOB WHICH WILL AUTOMATICALY BRING A SCREEN OVER TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF OVER. WE ARE SO PLEASED WITH OURS AND IN OUR OPINION THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE BEST FAMILY CARS AROUND AT PRESENT. ...

Advantages: Stylish and Spacey Disadvantages: Rear Boot window a bit too small
What can I say about this car. My company has just bought it for me and I love it. The interior is marvellous-good leg and head room, the dashboard is elegant and the two front seats are high up in comparison to other peugeot's so you have a better view of the road and you can't view the bonnet-its wonderful. the height-adjustable seatbelts are great-so you don't have to have a band of tight material dragging the air out of yor lungs and sucking ... ...cubbieholes too, including trays either side of the front seats. However, the black trim shows up virtually all dust.
The rear parking sensors are great as it is difficult to see out of the small rear window and they give you the exact distance between other cars.
It takes a while to get to grips with the 6 gears in this car but the speed it can accelerate to is phenomenal, expecially for an estate.
The boot space in this car is great, you could ...
