i see... thanks.. i was really looking forward to getting that hatchback.. since i prefer that than the bulky cars... oh well..

Hmmm .... Thinking of getting 207 as now with 5 years free maintenance and 5 years warranty, but still thinking as a lot of comment from others (from other forum) said the car not good and expensive to maintain. Even saw some comment saying the car is crap and therefore Peugeot/Naza giving this huge promotion to clear up the stock ....

No car is perfect ....

Car not perfect ... nevermind...

Service ... SUCK ...

May collect car, June keep going to service centre, service centre until today still havent reslove, maybe this the meaning of 5 years free maintenance and 5 years warranty.

Is this car really sucks or it just one case only? Right now they are doing big promotion and im so tempted to get one due to the price only. Any further advise about the quality if this car? Thanks.

Got my 207 almost a month ago and my friend about 2 weeks. Both of us very very happy with the car.

im still having this issue of smell coming in too easily..aircond on windows all closed up still can get exhaust etc smell coming in


another thing i notice maybe the cause of all this... the backseat doors, u guys get watermarks there ?? its like as though during rain when drive water can get splash into inside like maybe they didnt seal it tight enough

smell coming in, my 207 also same prob...but i don't think its a big thing...most cars can't filter out all the outside pollution 100%

but this is too easy coming in wei..my old satria also no such problem.. anyone found any DIY way to fix it ?

Hi Battousai...... asking the obvious here, but did you activate the "recycle cabin air" button?
My gf just got a 207SV 2 weeks ago, loves it...... and she doesn't seem to have this smell issue.

208 will enter the market at France soon.

Does anybody hate their car after just 2 weeks?

Most ppl love their car for the first 2 yrs. U wanna know the real deal? Ask them after say 3 years. Anyway, i think the 207 is a really ugly car the same as the Mazda2 Sedan. The shape is crap and the inside so plasticy. The rear seats are too crammed and a tall guy would have serious problems sitting there.

I would rather go for the Inspira for that price range. Pay about 10K more and enjoy a 1.8L car with better specs, looks, quality and resale value.

Personally i think the 207 was a wrong choice especially at that price range. Thats why Nasim is offering big discounts. The car is doing quite badly i hear and its understandable.

Your gf would have been better off with other makes for the price she paid for the 207.

Does anybody hate their car after just 2 weeks? 

let me ask you this, does anyone who can afford a 170k car will come to forum and ask around? such an indecisive ppl can afford an 170k car? ( in response to your ironic question above)

----------------------------------------------------------------------

if you compare 207 with vios J ?

pls dont drag proton into here, we all know proton is the bang for buck, hence the sales.

good job for telling ppl they bought an ugly car. that shows your character.

Don't worry about it, turbocharged...... offhand comments like that couldn't get to me.
Cheers mate.

Added on November 13, 2011, 1:29 amActually, the point of my comment to Battousai was about the smell issue...... but oh well.
Beauty and ugliness are very subjective and personal matters, so you're probably right in saying that the 207 is an ugly car, because to you, it is.
Personally (and honestly) I also think that the Porsche Cayenne is an ugly car too, but apparently many of my friends do not agree with me...... so really, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and in our case, both my gf and I really like the design of the 207.
Incidentally, we did actually go to have a look at the Inspira as well...... but we just didn't like it.
Sometimes when buying big ticket items, besides obvious logic, we have to consider the utility factor as well.

recycle cabin air is supposed to be press and then quickly press again to off.. no ?

I am going to use this car to go up genting. The thing is in Auto mode there is no Gear 2 or L....only D...must I use the manual shift to go up genting?

no need. you can use auto all the way. if u wanna hv more fun, then use the sport mode. but going down, manual will make more sense with full control for your engine braking. sport mode downhill also works well as it automatically goes to low gear to save you from using too much brakes which can lead to brake fade.

thanks man!

my wife is collecting a company sponsored 207SV white this Saturday, can't wait. Can feel the car's torque during a short test drive with some uphill route. The car looks great in front but the rear so so only but still acceptable. She "upgraded" from 2005 VIOS and quite like the handling of the new 207SV.
