Summary
What does this car say about you?
Nothing - one of the reasons I like this car is it doesn't stand out. It isn't flashy but is very cool. I like to think of it as a modern Facel Vega!
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They love the looks, it's rarity and the quiet and comfort inside.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. The quality is far above what PSA usually produce (I also run a Citroen C5 as my tow and tip run car).
What are you likely to buy next?
Probably another 407 or I may replace my 1972 MG Midget with something. I have a Corvette itch that has yet to be scratched.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Builds speed nicely but no sports car, which is exactly what I like. Rides and handles superbly, better than the Alfa 156s I had before and better than any of the 60 cars I've owned since 1979.
What's it like to park?
Easy - very wide but has reverse sensors. The only problem is getting out in a small space as the doors are huge.

No
What's most practical about your car?
Full four seater, lots of safety kit, folding rear seats and good big boot.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
