The best imported car in 2006 in Spain, 2007 in Ukraine, 2008 in Japan and 2009 in France - the "track record" model "Peugeot 207". Feedback satisfied owners confirm all the merits of this machine. In the summer of 2009, the car was subjected to both external and internal changes.

Since the debut, there has been a high level of sales of the car, which is associated with high-quality assembly, a rich bundle and adaptation to Russian climatic conditions.

Appearance

Designers have worked to glory over the appearance of the car, and confirmation of this is statistics: 90% of coupe-cabriolets are sold to representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, most of which are under 35 years old.

The exterior of the novelty has become more representative and attractive: slanting headlamps diverge on the hood, a pretty grille and a huge nameplate on the center did their thing. But non-standard details of the exterior to taste are not available to all Peugeot 207 buyers.

Reviews of car owners indicate that not all external changes have benefited the novelty. For example, non-standard side mirrors moved back, which adversely affects the visibility.

This minicar will not be left without attention of the buyer, especially the weaker sex. Speaking about the exterior, it is necessary to note the lighting equipment of the car: almond-shaped front lights, divergent little to the front racks, chrome fog lights and rear light equipment with a honeycombed grille - all this adds extravagance to the appearance of "Peugeot 207". Photo mini-car - a confirmation.

Salon

The interior of the car is made in the best traditions of "Peugeot": everything is perfectly adjusted, no creaks or vibrations. Peugeot 207 boasts comfortable seats, upholstered upholstery materials and an information dashboard. The manufacturer can offer the buyer a leather salon, side curtain airbags and power windows for an additional $ 3,000, if the future owner decides to purchase a top-end kit, you will have to add 19 000 dollars. That is, the owner of the car can independently "equip" the interior, ordering many additional options offered by the company.

Packages

Standard equipment Peugeot 207, which costs 16,500 dollars, is equipped with a 1.4 liter engine, and the cost of the 206th model with the same power unit is 17,000 dollars. It's amazing that a new car is cheaper than its predecessor. But this is nothing strange, if you look closely: almost all the options that distinguish the novelty from its "big brother" are available only for an additional fee or in the top. The greatest interest among buyers is a car with a 1.6-liter power unit, With which an automatic transmission is operating. This engine is the result of the joint work of the engineers "Peugeot" and "BMW." In other words, under the hood of "Peugeot 207" there is an engine, installed on more representative cars of class "B". The engine reacts quickly to the accelerator pedal, and the automatic transmission almost imperceptibly switches gears, which can not be said about the operation of the automatic box in the standard "Peugeot 207" mode.

Specifications

The power unit of the car is represented by 1.4-liter engine capacity of 75 "horses". He is able to accelerate the minicar to 100 km / h in 15.6 seconds. The maximum speed of the car is 167 km / h. The fuel consumption with this engine is 6.3 l / 100 km in the mixed cycle.

Comparison of "Peugeot 206" and "Peugeot 207"

Reviews of the owners of the 206 models said that one of the problems of the cabin was an uncomfortable driver's seat. In the new situation the situation has changed for the better. But still the driver can have some difficulties with finding a comfortable position. It should be noted that the upholstery materials, like assembling the interior elements of the Peugeot 207, are a level higher than those of its predecessor.

Looking into the salon, it's safe to say that the dashboard is borrowed from the older brothers 607 and 407. The location of the instruments is maximally "adjusted" for the driver: from his seat, you can reach any part of the control without problems, without being distracted from the road. Even such a trifle as the adjustment of the change of radio stations, through which it is possible to identify only the channels of interest, will be to the liking of many motorists. The onboard computer is simple and easy to use. Among the minuses of the cabin - uncomfortable control of the windows "Peugeot 207".

Reviews of motorists positively describe a fairly wide range of adjustment of the driver's seat, on which even the "non-standard" person can accommodate comfortably. It should be noted that only the newer Peugeot 207 has steering wheel adjustment. The possibility of an arbitrary seat arrangement in height is already present in the basic version.

Throwing the front seats back, you can view the sky through the hatch (installed as an option for $ 1000). The front seats of the car have excellent lateral support, although they are tilted slightly back and forth. But this does not cause any inconvenience, since the front console is also made at an inclination. In the salon there are armrests, which sometimes it is better to keep folded. For example, when driving to the "Peugeot 207-automaton" no problems arise, but when working with "mechanics" the hand is constantly hurt by the armrest.

Among the "B" class cars, the mini-car has one of the largest salons. In the back row for adults there is not so much space, and if you push the front seats back, then very little. But already in the basic configuration of "Peugeot 207" there is a mount for the child seat. Young parents will be delighted and lock the rear doors, which can be ordered as an option.

The three-spoke steering wheel looks sporty, but very large for women's pens. However, it is very easy to manage.

French developers have made a lot of efforts to ensure that the beautiful half of the population was as comfortable as possible in the Peugeot 207. The car has a built-in shock absorber, and the functional petal of the audio system under the steering wheel, as if created for female fingers. The most important thing is the simplicity of controlling the devices. One minus is the small door handles, which are problematic to open to girls with long nails.

Overview

The review of the car is rather limited: when leaving the parking lot, the rear pillar seriously obstructs the view. However, during parallel parking there are no such problems. A large rear window gives a good overview.

Trunk

Baggage compartment "Peugeot 207", like any car class "B", does not differ large capacity. Its volume is 270 liters in its normal state, and when the rear seats are folded up, it increases to 925 liters. It should be noted that with all this, the trunk is very convenient, since it has a wide opening and even walls. In the "Peugeot 207" provides the function of opening the tailgate stack, which makes it easier to load a small load.

It should be noted one feature of the "Peugeot 207", which is a clear disadvantage of the car: the gas tank opens only with a key, and therefore during refueling, you must constantly run with the lid of the tank.

On the road

Fans of active driving should think about buying a "Peugeot 207", the technical specifications of which are few in any way superior to the two-sixth model. The mini-car does not have the sporty steering and suspension settings, like its predecessor, but a rather frisky engine hides under the hood. Those who prefer a comfortable ride, "Peugeot 207" will have to taste. The car has a soft suspension, hiding from the driver and passengers the defects of the road. Mini-car practically silently overcomes "lying policemen".

The 150-horsepower 1.6-liter engine is not only lively on the road, but also quite quiet. In the cabin, you can hardly hear his work, which speaks for an excellent noise isolation. On the road, the car behaves steadily, sometimes "catches" small rolls at bends. Although the characteristics of "Peugeot 207" and allow quite frisky to behave on the track, but gaining high speeds is undesirable, as the car begins to swing heavily due to the short base. On roads of poor quality at high speed, the car shakes noticeably, and the steering wheel, though poured "heaviness", but becomes less informative.

With the car brake system, everything is in order. Moreover, it requires a certain time for getting used, since it is very sensitive, the pedal should be pressed without much enthusiasm. But with a sharp braking at the "Peugeot 207" everything is fine. Having drowned the pedal, you can be sure that the car will stop in a matter of seconds. But it should be remembered that such maneuvers are unlikely to be appreciated by other road users.

Results

Among the merits of the Peugeot 207, it should be noted the possibility of self-selection options, good ergonomics, convenient loading into the trunk, a good engine, excellent chassis and steering settings. The spare parts of the Peugeot 207 are not scarce, so there will not be any problems with their search in the event of a breakdown.

The disadvantages of this model include relatively "poor" cheap equipment, uncomfortable control of the windows, poor visibility back, poor informative steering, rocking and shaking at high speeds.
