Good-looking, looks better-built than 206 CC, a decently sporting drive
No super-quick version on offer, rear seats still useless
The 207 CC's less toy-like than the 206 CC: it feels and drives like a proper car. Less cutesy and girlie, too.
Peugeot's 206 CC, launched in 2001, was the first accessibly-priced convertible to feature an electrically-folding metal hard-top roof, technology previously confined to the considerably more expensive Mercedes-Benz SLK.
Since then, it has faced a number of similarly-equipped new rivals: the Nissan Micra C+C, the Mitsubishi Colt CZC, the oddball Daihatsu Copen and Vauxhall Tigra, plus the bigger and more expensive Renault Megane CC, Ford Focus C-C, VW Eos, the ever-popular Mazda MX-5. However, has remained the best-selling model of its type with 46,600-odd sold in the UK alone in the last five years.
The 207 CC carries on the same basic principles, keeping the 2+2-seater layout (though the rear seats are still, frankly, pretty useless), a relatively affordable starting price (£14,795) and near-supermini running costs.
It's a slightly different proposition, though: more aggressive-looking, for a start, and more sports-focused in its handling, it feels a bit more grown-up - a proper car, not just a toy or a fashion accessory.
Three engines are on offer this time around. There's an entry-level 1.6 with variable-valve timing (120bhp); the turbo-charged 1.6 THP (150bhp, as in the warm 207 THP); and PSA's 110bhp 1.6 HDI diesel. All come with a five-speed manual gearbox as standard, with an optional four-speed auto for the 1.6 16v (120bhp) engine.
