Peugeot 407 SW Hi-Line 2.0 HDi

Advantages: Large spacious comfortable easy drive
Disadvantages: Limited turning circle

...After having two Renaults for many 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 to use the basic settings whilst driving. The controls are all to hand, and, once familiar with the stalks and buttons, the controls are logical and easy to use. The space in the car is excellent, much roomier than the Laguna. The driver and passengers feel protected in the cabin with the high sides. The boot is OK, the slope at the top could cause some...

peugeot 407 SW

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: to expensive for its capeabilities

...This is my own personal opinion and does not intend to infringe 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 penetraiting the cockpit at an unbelieveable rate. the tyre pressures are monitered by a computer and must be maintained at 2.6 bar which is around 40psi if not the computer keeps flashing a message in front of the driver warnning of a puncture some where on the car, it dosent tell you which wheel has the offending tyre so...

Review of Peugeot 407 SW

For 07 (407), a decent Pug!

Advantages: strong engine, comfortable 4 seater, good boot space, plenty of gadgets, quite economical, nice looks
Disadvantages: no real involvement, not exciting,

...We've had one of these for the past couple of years. It's always performed solidly if not inspirationally. Its shown itself to be reliable and comfortable. Perhaps biggest disappointment is its lack of personality though. Our 407 is a black model with the full colour sat nav. It has the grey cloth interior which we decided we wanted rather than the leather. From the outside, the car looks great. When we got it, there were very few on the roads of the Northeast and it stood out well. The engine has lots of power and some excellent mid range grunt. Although like most diesels it sounds like a tractor. The engine has never given any cause for concern though, Its always started first time and always been powerful enough for day-to-day use. Economy wise it is not as good as we would have expected but will turn out around 35...

407SW SE + Lux Pack 136HDI

Advantages: looks different
Disadvantages: limited rear vision, super soft paint & thin body panels

...Wow!! What a great car! I have had it just over a year now & covered 40,000 miles. It is a company car which I had a choice what to pick. 3 cars were in the running, Volvo V50, Honda Accord & the 407SW. I liked (& still do) the Volvo but previous constant appalling service of my old V40 by my local Volvo dealers meant unfortunately the V50 was a non-runner. The Honda is a great car...but ugly!! Sorry, but it IS UGLY!! So, I was left with a great looking car made by Peugeot. Well, the car just says 'buy me!'...'RIDE ME!' I had to have it although I had my reservations about driving a Peugeot. Would it be unreliable? Would it handle like a boat? Would the dealers be worse than the Volvo dealers?? I took the plunge & ordered the 407SW SE with the luxury pack & 136HDI diesel. I added xenon lights & the JBL hifi as options...

Review of Peugeot 407 SW 2.0 HDi

Practical Peugeot.

Advantages: Reliable, economic, practical.
Disadvantages: None

...A nice plain English op on a car. I purchased my Peugeot 406Hdi rapier Saloon in December 2001. Only the second brand new car I had ever purchased. The first being a Peugeot 305 a few years ago. That car had given me many trouble free miles so I thought I would stick with them. I suppose it?s a bit like the devil you know. As a cab driver in London it had to be a diesel car. Economy is the Number one rule as saving money these days is so important. There was a company in Scotland offering the best deal so I phoned, and arranged delivery. A week later my shiny metallic China blue Peugeot 406 car arrived. I like a largish car that?s comfortable. I like reliability and economy fuel consumption. Speed is not that important, I suppose functional is the best description. The Peugeot 406 fitted my needs on description, but...

The Drive of Your Life ?

Advantages: Great Specification as standard, looks amazing, good size, easy to drive
Disadvantages: Requires frequent replacement of wear and tear parts, poor front and rear visibility

...'s lowest setting. Bluetooth hands-free installation - make and receive calls through the car radio. With some phones it works off voice activation as well FM Radio displays the artist and name of the track Cruise control and speed limiter - I find the limiter helps with my drive up and down the A2 every day Lights under the door - Useful for seeing puddles when you leave the car according to my wife The only option Peugeot selected was metal door kick sills which add a touch of class to the cabin ! Tyre pressure sensors - Let's you know when there's a puncture or low tyre pressure. Pearlescent paint (a £400 option at the time of sale) is simply stunning. Boot space is massive - A relative was recently looking at a Mercedes S Class and the boot in the 407 is bigger 6 forward gears - The 6th gear really contributes to...

The Xaf-mobile

Advantages: Very prettyful
Disadvantages: Too big for little me!

...If you're reading this because you want to know technical things about the Peugeot 407, then you should probably stop reading now. This is based mainly on my personal views on the car as a Ciao review should be! In October 2002 hubby and I bought our first car - a little Peugeot 106 - it was the bog standard basic model with no extras, and the only feature was its power steering. Our car did us very well and took us over 60,000 miles. All of the driving (aside from a couple of practice runs) was done by hubby as I didn't pass my test until this month....and I'm not the world's most confident driver (to say the least). After being away at a conference I returned to find hubby very exciteable, literally jumping up and down. He had decided that we needed to buy a new car and we needed it now. Ok, so we had been thinking vaguely...

Peugeot 106 = S**T

Advantages: It got me a year no claims bonus
Disadvantages: everything you can think of

...My first car. My first REAL nightmare. I know that all cars are different, but based on my experiance, im never getting another 106. I found a new problem around every corner. It was probably more to do with the fact that i got the car from a cowboy garage, compared to the car make/style, but none the less it was a real let down. I got the car a couple of weeks after passing my test...first time i might add...aesthetically it was brilliant. Possibly not the best colour to choose, it was shannon green, but i think it was more snot green/pea green. It was a five door, Peugeot 106 XN. 1997 P-reg 1.1. Possibly the best style of car to get for a father and soon to be husband for a first car. But, however, that is where the situation began to change. The first test drive the clutch failed to work after 5 seconds in the car! When that...

Review of Peugeot 106 1.1

My Peugeot!

Advantages: Great Looking, Agile, Fun.
Disadvantages: Diesel, Horrible seating position!

...frequently goes off when letting people in on your side, which can be annoying at times, especially at night or when trying to make a quiet exit! *Interior and seating* Peugeot are not known for their brilliant interiors, and as you would expect, this is not any different, the seating is pretty average until you go to use it. The way the seats are positioned is ridiculous, and getting the drivers seat in the correct position for you can be a chore at times, especially if you share the car like I do. The method of moving the seat forward to let people into the back seat of the 3 door version is very awkward nd fragile, as we have discovered many times previously, when it has broken or ceased to function correctly. Other than this it is pretty average inside for a car of its type, the back seats fold down quite well, ad you get the dashboard...
