Stylish design, excellent handling characteristics, strong diesels, EuroNCAP results.
Non-turbo petrols not as sprightly as they could be, could be issues over electrics.
The 207 brings Peugeot back to the forefront of the supermini sector with a healthy dash of Gallic flair.
The 207 uses tried-and-tested engines and mechanicals from other cars in the Peugeot line-up and so should prove long-lasting. One area of concern could be the multiplex electrical wiring - the 206 and 307 have had some reported electrical gremlins so we'll be keeping an eye on how the 207 performs over the long term.
Interior quality is a marked improvement over the 206 with high-quality materials used throughout. The elephant-hide hard plastic interior of the 206 has thankfully been binned. Exterior fit and finish is good with consistent shut lines and panel gaps on all the cars tested.
