Peugeot 307 Rapier 2.0HDi (90bhp)

Advantages: great looks, fuel economy and performance
Disadvantages: had lots of problems especially with the electrics

...I had this car from new but did not buy it myself as it was a company car and rented from Peugeot. It was a 52 (October 2002) registration and I had it the full 3 years of the lease and I was the main driver with my partner driving it occasionally. This review is based on the fact that I did 20,000 plus miles a year and quite a bit of motorway driving. The car was: 5 door hatchback 90bhp 1997cc 4 cylinders 8 valves Insurance group 6 Road tax band C Manual transmission I'll start with the good bits about it. ! I loved it's looks and colour - aegean blue. It was roomy and comfortable and the performance was superb as far as I'm concerned. It's supposed to do 111mph but I doubt it would but it would happily go along at 90mph - which, of course, I never tried! Very few similar spec cars used to pass it on the motorway...

Review of Peugeot 307 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...

Review of Peugeot 406 2.0 HDi

Peugeot 207 1.4 8v 75bhp M:Play Special Edition

Advantages: Sports Styling, Sports Seats, Spacious, Bigger Boot Than 206
Disadvantages: Sluggish on Motorways, Dont expect to leave a lot of cars behind at the Lights.

...I have a M:Play 2008 Model Peugeot 207. From new these cars are very nice to drive. Nice and spacious, Smooth acceleration, Smooth gearbox. Air Con is standard, White Dials (same as on GT Model) as standard The Price was good as with some haggling you can get one for £9500 brand new. Nice, fun drive around town. Motorways bit boring as not enough power to accelerate from 60-70+ in 5th gear quickly. Fuel economy is very good. Ive done 5000 miles mostly town driving and my avg MPG is 35.2MPG. Approx £45 will fill this car up with 95 Unleaded and will do good for 300+ Miles. Advantages: Sports looks, Sport Seats, Spacious, Feels like a bigger car. Disadvantages: 1.4 8V 75BHP Engine is pretty weak on pulling although 0-60 in about 15secs is good enough. No options for additional parts or products available at factory...

Review of Peugeot 207 1.4 m:play Hatchback

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...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.9 D

Funky Little Peugeot

Advantages: Economical, comfortable, long service intervals
Disadvantages: None to report yet

...After many happy years with the Renault Megane coupe (see previous op!) it was time to trade in and get something a bit newer. After looking at many, many cars, we finally chose the Peugeot 206 1.4 LX (although Ciao call it a 1.3?) okay, it's a 1360cc engined car. Let's not split hairs eh? We opted for a 2000 W reg automatic 3 door in metallic blue, and picked one up from our local Peugeot dealership for a bargain £6,495, with 26,000 miles on the odometer (wow, what a great word!). True, you can pick them up a little cheaper, but finding an automatic can be difficult at the best of times, unless you're buying a Jaguar of course, and finding one in as good a condition as ours is even trickier. We did play off the local car supermarket with the Peugeot main dealer to get a better trade-in price on the Megane, and would strongly...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

Pete the Peugeot

Advantages: Looks, comfort, price
Disadvantages: None in particular

...~~**~~ Peugeot 206 S 1.1. 3DR~~**~~ First of all let me explain something - I've not got a clue about cars and the lingo that is unfortunately synonymous with them, however, I do feel I'm qualified enough to talk about comfort, driveabilityness and whether the free mats were worth arguing for. In the beginning I had a mini (a real mini) that was my pride and joy. A hand-me-down from granny who unfortunately decided to purchase it unbelievably in diarrhoea colour hence it was known as the Poomobile and the whole of the county recognised her - it was great. Regrettably, her floor fell through and she went to the great scrapheap in the sky. After a period of mourning, I had a number of small cars after that - fiesta (fell apart), 106 (brother drove it into a tree), yaris (god I hated that car) and another mini that was the death...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.1

Peugeot 207 - taking you for a pleasurable drive!

Advantages: Smooth and safe ride, pleasurable to drive, good economy
Disadvantages: None really - see review for minor "niggles"

...the second from the bottom. As the lowest range spec car didn't come with an option of having air conditioning in it at all and as this was on my list of "wants", I had to go for the next model up - the "S" in order so that it would come with air con. The "Urban" is the lowest spec car, the "m:play" being the next one up from the "S" and finally there is the "Sport". I was fussy back then you see! I bought my car in September 2006 - just when the new "56" registration plates came out. I bought my car new from a Peugeot dealer in North Wales. Amazed at being offered £4000 part ex for my little (much missed!) 1.0 litre Corsa, I simply had to go with them!! My Peugeot obviously comes equipped with a 1.4 litre engine (petrol in my case) and has 75bhp so is ample able to nip about. (Which is exactly what I wanted!) Being used to my little...

Review of Peugeot 207 1.4 m:play Hatchback

Peugeot 205

Advantages: Good handling and nippy.
Disadvantages: Realiability

...I owned a 205 GT H reg 1991 85bhp which had a 1.4 TU3S engine and a twin choke carb for 3 years. This was my second car after owning a 1.0 fiesta i remember going for my first drive in it, it seemed so fast because i was not used to a 1.4. It handled like a go-kart and was quite a nippy little car because it was so light, good fun to drive especially down the lanes. The engine was totally reliable but the same could not be said for the rest of the car although it was a very easy to maintain and all the parts were cheap for it from GSF. I always managed to get home though so it never really failed on me. Fuel econemy was quite good getting 40mpg when fully maintained and driving sensibly one good thing was you could put your foot down and it would never really drop below 30mpg anyway. The Gear box was good and clutch was nice...

Review of Peugeot 205

Peugeot 206 Sport 1.4 55Reg

Advantages: Stylish looks, stylish interior, nice alloys
Disadvantages: Instrument panel a bit too plastic

...I was forced into a purchase of another car as I had wrote off my previous one (Peugeot 106). As I had liked my old car I decided to get another Peugeot. Originally, I had wanted a second hand 307 but was lured by the free insurance and looks of the new 206 Sport. I really like the look of the 206 Sport. The interior is very nice also, with the red and black trim. The one damper though, is the istrument panel with the stereo and air conditioning controls. It just looks out of place against the rest of the interior. It's as if they did a great job with the rest of the car and then suddenly they only had half an hour left to design the instrument panel! It's also pretty cramped inside (I have the three door model) and I'm a short person. It is especially the case for the rear passengers where leg room is minimal. But as I am fairly...

Review of Peugeot 206 1.4

peugeot 306 xsi

Advantages: great looks, performance, reliability and value for money
Disadvantages: cheap, looking interior

...i have been a peugeot owner for over 5 years now and have to say how happy i am with the car itself. I own a peugeot 306 xsi, it has a 2 litre 16 valve engine, which is pretty much exactly the same engine as in the renault megane 2.0 16 valve sport cars. (which incidentally is not as fast on a track from personnal experience). When searching for the ideal car for me, i narrowed it down to two in the same catagory of small sporty hachbacks, the volkswagen golf gti and the peugeot 306 xsi, (roughly the same insurance, price etc etc...). Obviously in the end i decided upon the peugeot, admittedly it was based on looks alone! this is a fantastic looking car as im sure anyone would agree, well after the 1997 facelift anyway, but when you start to drive the car itself you will be glad you bought one. great ride comfort in seats that hold you...
