Anyone has any idea on Peugeot 207? Nice or not? Any brochure?

tested it weeks ago. really good at acceleration and torque. but the built quality is.... hmm how to put it in words... just imagine besides the engine, everythin else is wira alike. end of story

Hi,

Hav a chance to sit in one even before d launch. To me seats are good, dashboard is conti. But d rest plastic panels are very localized feel. Fitting may not b perfect.

Maybe need a bit of refining later.

interior more or less like vios

check at paultan.org

Sat inside of it @ 1 Utama last weekend

Interior built quality, IMO, quite good, better than Persona (my colleague's)

Exterior, looks better than pics.

The rear seats,,a bit cramp tho..not seatable for 3 huge adults

doubt so. i juz feel right comfortable with another person behind

the looks turned me off

i saw it in 1U last week. i just can't get used to the layout of the power windows which all 4 buttons are placed in the middle. oh the rear of the car also doesn't suit my taste. well, it's just my preference... i may be wrong.

I felt that it would have looked much much better if it was a hatch instead of a sedan...

Generally if u usually carry 4 ppl d most for urban runaround, its not bad for tis asking price. Looks is subjective.

the maintenance is high in the long run

If you don't care about the points above, get a 308 or a more up to date conti.

Volkwagon price starts from RM 110k.

Ford Fiesta full spec is RM 85k.

to me, there are better options than the 207 (although not in the same segment). People will always say it is outdated.

here's the link to the brochure:

http://www.peugeot.com.my/207-brochure/

by the way, it is a compact sedan so, those above 6ft will not fit comfortably at the back but then, this car is meant for those who do not really carry passengers at the back regularly. just occasionally. but if it is bought to handle kids to school then it is a pretty safe buy.

well, the first few services are quite cheap as i found out. service intervals are 10,000km so this means less visits to the car doctor.

10,000km at rm170
20,000km at rm225
30,000km at rm225
40,000km at about rm580 (can’t remember this exactly)

if 1 year = 20,000km, then it works out to being a pretty affordable first 2 years. this is easily lower than their higher end models and no where close to them.

dare not ask more or the service guy may think i am competitor checking out the service prices!"

you can decide if the service cost is expensive or not. best to check with the service guys. they have said that it is by far the easiest and most affordable peugeot to maintain due to the proven engine and also shared engine parts with its 1.4l sibling.

test drived it on the launching day itself at NAZA TTDI

agreed that the seats are a bit cramped.
but the acceleration & stability are quite good, for that kind of a price. the reason i didn't take it are purely based on the looks, still not ready to buy a conti designed car lah


but the boot size is great..
plus it's near "square".. i mean, if u guys noticed, there's no wheel arch space thingy occupying the boot space. dunno how to explain

yup, the acceleration is pretty good. and yup, i noticed that the boot is pretty big too. so, maybe no need to fold down the back seats for the 'balik kampung trips'

About the service, i asked one of the Naza Engineers and i did counter check on one of the websites before it was launched. Currently i cannot find the website so i dare not quote anything.

Like Kia Specctra, the services started as cheap and slowly went up with the mileage. Because of this, i dare not buy Forte until the 4the year (warranty is 3 years. So we will know from current buyers how the cars are during the 4th year).

just checked with the naza guys about the servicing costs for the new 207 and found that the cost quoted earlier is for the 206 but the 207 is expected to be very close to the 206 because of similar items used and affordable in the long run for the owner.

I just took my wife (Peugeot 207) for service 2 weeks ago. As the 1st service at 2,500km, its free. Indeed, they washed my car after service. Then they ask me service my car at 10,000km. By the way, my wife has new skirts (Originals from Nasim), its perfectly match to her size costing at RM2500. Which i found out its quite worthy. Actually can anyone acknowledge me, how to save my fuel for this car? I realize it's quite fuel inefficient. Thanks.

how much per kilometer?? its 1.6 cc engine right??
