Peugeot 207 GTi (2007 - 2009) 1.6 16V GTi THP (175bhp) 3d (2008/08) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Likes a car to be fast, fun and not in your face.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

They all think it's fantastic.

Would you buy this car again and why?

yes

What are you likely to buy next?

Nothing for the next few years as this car just keeps me so ammused. However I do like the idea of owning an Alfa!

Type of dealer you bought from?

Franchise

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£8,500

When did you buy the car?

May 2011

Did you get a good deal and why?

Cleared my exsisting finance gave me a grand towards this car and cost me the same on monthly payments.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something with a bit of go!

What was the dealer like?

Very good.

What's it like to drive?

Very good, great torque and loves the revs! Handles like a dream! don't listen to the reviews, go drive for yourself. I have owned lots of performance cars (inc a 205 GTI)and this is right up there with them. Power when you need it calm when just making progress. The only thing I would say is that it really does need a 6th gear, however for £130 you can have a longer 5th gear ratio fitted. Takes about 1 hour and makes a huge difference.

What's it like to park?

No problems.

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Plenty of room for a couple who like to get away at the weekend.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

recaro style seats!
