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.

agree.

Added on November 25, 2010, 11:16 amconti's market value will drop tremendously

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 People will always say it is outdated.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??

This car is too cramp, if driver is 173cm and above, the rear can only for children to sit. If ask for opinion, I don't think this car worth money since we got Fiesta and Mazda 2.

peugeot 207 use timing belt right???

the fiesta sedan and mazda2 sedan have even more cramp interior. i drive a 207 and i can honestly say it. i have already checked out the other two. plus, the front seats of the 207 are quite high and rear passengers can slip their legs under the seat to stretch more.

afaik, the body kit is still undergoing endurance test. should be available soon. price wise, i dunno yet.

once you try driving the 207 up to genting or any hill resort, you will be convinced about the handling and why for the price, few cars can match it. it has both the torque and the handling to match.

This post has been edited by lowpro: May 12 2011, 06:11 PM

Haha... all 3 are equally cramp la. But in terms of overall, handling, engine, n gearbox, fiesta wins hands down. Among 3, mazda only got the looks but overall useless..

yes..they still use timing belt...

i seriously dont think the fiesta wins hands down. it's nothing more than hype. the engine is noisy as well and the gear is not as smooth as everybody thinks. it can be jerky as well. sometimes, having the latest tech does not necessarily mean it is the best. so, maybe it wins... but definitely not hands down. probably by the slimmest of margins... bit it also depends if TS can tahan the weird jelly mould look. only the m2 looks decent to me. but if they made it a bit wider, it would have had a better chance. the squishy handling though will not win it for me.

This post has been edited by lowpro: May 13 2011, 08:51 AM

just paid my booking fee for 207 yesterday..cant wait to get it..ordered the bronze colour one..

at nazim shah alam i saw one of the 207 already fitted with a bodykit..not sure its gonna be the one being sold... would love that bodykit

I have tested these Mazda 2, Fiesta and 207, honestly, 207 rear leg room is the smallest, I'm not saying Mazda 2 and Fiesta have roomy rear legroom, but 207 is really smaller than the duo. And one more thing I found unacceptable for the 207 is the door closing sound, this kind of sound is something like the old Datsun/Toyota.

tested drive Mazda2, Fiesta, Vios and 207 in April.

bought 207 at the end it is a happy car and loving it. at the price of 70k.
CP value is high enough.

dun mention of the crappy door built. it is a good car ~
pick up and handling the best among the same range car.

just my 2 cents.
from a happy peugeot user~ if i am rich i will get 308CC or RCZ~

that's why i keep saying, look past the 207's looks and most will find a hidden gem in the car. seriously enjoyable car to drive. by the way, nice profile picture.

don let the door closing sound pull u back from getting this 207, it's a good car. in fact the door closing sound can be improve with some kind of 3M sound proofing stuff u can ask KL Auto to do it - should not be expensive.

bare in mind, the 1.6 cc engine, auto headlamp, auto wiper, is about 10k cheaper than mazda and fiesta

if i'm looking for a B segment sedan with <80k, 207 is the one

Mazda - forget about it
Fiesta - stupid with only 1 air-bag, else this will be my choice

if i don mind the hatch and have more budget - Fiesta Sport is my choice mainly due to the ESP and TC

infact i'm once consider getting this 207 for my wife....as i own 308 THP, and looking for a sedan. but one day i say the Forte 1.6 SX, 86k, fall in love with it....ESC aka ESP, TC, ++++ so value for money, end up Forte 2.0 mainly due to 6 airbag (i love my wife and son more than my $) and this will substitute my 308 for outstation drive due to bigger boot space to put my son's stuff...

we can start a 207 club now haha... one thing is that there's no place to put my pre amp into it..

can i just install my amplifier without the pre amp ???

have u guys done any mod to your 207 ?

wondering if there is any 207 club in lowyat . i am sure 308 club does existed~

am pretty sure there's none.. 207 club's never been started

well, there's me too. guess that makes 2 of us!! hahahahaha.

dun have official one.. 308 oso dont have..

Autoworld already have still need lowyat?

dont bother with it
my point of view pre amp is relevent in old days due to hu limit
but nowday modern hu got x-over , pre amp
unless u in to audio comp where they test the frequence then go ahead

have u guys done any modifications to your cars ???

the one i really dislike bout the car is the fuel cap looks damn cacat when holding it

some have used the aluminium type cover. looks a bit more sporty. tonight got tt for 207 and 206 owners at kota damansara, restauran dangau rumbia at 9pm. jalan teknologi 3/9, bistari de kota, kota damansara. comelah if u hv the time.

This post has been edited by lowpro: Jun 4 2011, 10:54 AM

what aluminium type cover ?? 207 has to use the key to open ma..thats the sad part -__-

im having dinner with some friends tonight..if i can make it i'll join u guys there !!

here's how it looks:

http://www.gpastyling.co.uk/search/details...ge=1§ion=33

http://my206xr.blogspot.com/2009/11/aluminium-fuel-cap.html

the reason that you need to use your key to open the filler cap is to force the driver to turn off the engine - its kinda like a safety thing to make sure you turn off your engine when refueling. even the 3 and 4 series need to use a key. just that they have an additional flap to close the fuel filler cap.

its oklah, you get used to it. i biasa oredi from the 206 to the 207 now.

too bad. i am from melaka~ next time then
kinda sick cos of fever n flu~

enjoy the meet up ~

official malacca peugeot dealer opening next week on thursday. it is in malim jaya. i'll be there too.

hows your fuel consumption so far guys ?

i drive my 207 hard. best i get is something like 420km for a full tank while i get about 390km if i drive like how i normally drive... fast. so, it depends on your right foot.

so true

so far i pumped 5 full tanks since i got my car.
left half tank and reach 2000km mileage .

average is about 430-450km per full tank ( RM70~72 Ron95)
max was 530km per full tank (250km in highway)

it is slightly expensive than vios but with the pick up power and performance. i am happy for it.

another user from other forum did mention his 207 sedan can only goes 300km per full tank.
i think it is depends on user? or ?

see u on thursday~ i will be there too. melaka 3S

i use ron95 also. not much difference with ron97 but i do find that it reached top speed much easier than when using ron95 where it struggles a bit. you can easily recognise my 207 when you are at the launch. by the way, my car is due for the 10,000km service in a few weeks. 9,300km already. so, it is nicely run in.

rear butt of this car totally fail to the max!

hotter looking 207!

Ironic............Peugeot 207 came out just after 3 months I bought my Wira............anyway I prefer it as a sedan or proper car and I think its targeted towards younger generation..............price is also right for younger buyers although think it could be cheaper...........

This post has been edited by hypercore: Jun 29 2011, 12:01 AM

the 207 looks nice.... price wise is attractive too... but I got turn off when I sat inside... quality is under par... try knocking on the ceiling....

actually, it is oklah. sounds just like any other new car when you knock on the ceiling. but it looks much better with the new b'kit. should be available very soon.




Attached thumbnail(s)

sounds like any new kancil ceiling?? come on lah..... it's like knocking on bare metal......

i doubt it. i have one and it sounds just like other peugeot models. definitely not as you put it. anyway, you may have your standards as high as jags or bentleys so, its ok. everyone's entitled to opinions. but i stand by the car in that it is as well made or better in some areas as the other models of similar class... and you would stand by your statement that it is no better than a kancil. i would agree to disagree on this. cheers!

any one try the 207 top speed?

push 190 on the way to lcct.. aircond on as well

i did 190kph with 16" peugeot sport lightweight rims (4 pax in car with holiday luggage) and 195kph on standard alloy wheels (driving alone). but to really be impressed, you need to drive it up and down genting. fantastic response and torque.

One question here for the 207 owner. How is the sound proof for the 207?

Easy to hear the wing sound?

How about the ceiling sound proof while raining?

Wind sound is good. Roof is oklah. Not bad but definitely not at 308 level lah. Very quiet car. I hv a proton too and the 207's engine sounds quiet and smooth compared to my gen2 cos.

Woo, this is good to hear that the sound proof was good.

If compare with ford fiesta sound proof which one is better?
And the rear seat comfort for long distance travel?

Still finding a chance to go test drive 207, I need to curi curi go test drive, as my wife dun really like the 207.

Below is the reason why she dun like
1. The look, main reason
2. Door closing sound, like plastics.
3. Power window control at center.
4. Fuel Cap need key to open.

My wife is prefer fiesta , I know fiesta is good but too expensive for me. The extra RM100 installment will kill me.

Now the 207 and fiesta is in our list, but my pocket money is more important so 207 is my first choice.

This post has been edited by fatm4a1: Jul 28 2011, 11:08 PM

Same on 308. Although it's a hassle, but it is a good way to teach the driver to turn the engine off when refueling

for item 1, maybe she will like the 207sv? the body kit and leather makes a big difference to the way it looks!

for item 2, the doors have improved due to better sound deadening material over the earlier versions.

item 3, cannot help lah... design mah

item 4, what pogostik said is 100% correct.

to add, u can test drive the 207sv at 1utama from tomorrow till sunday... say wanna go jalan jalan to 1U, let her shop then go for your test drive and get a free gift! other goodies; can win a 308 turbo if u buy a 207, low interest rate now, and free smart tag and solar gard tint if buy at the 1U event.

Thanks for the information but I stay at Penang, can't go there la.

207sv really look nice but too expensive la, extra RM4k, my wife sure ask me to add on some budget to get fiesta sedan

Is nice to hear that the doors have improved, it apply at 207sv or normal 207?
Anyone know that the rear seat comfort for long distance travel?

If the rear is comfort, at least I got reason to fight back my wife

the improvement is for all models.

as for the rear seat, comfort is guaranteed... especially for long distance. i drove to terengganu with 2 people at the back and one in the front passenger seat and all were quite happy with the comfort. but it is not like a 407 lah. rear seats not too upright as well but the space is a bit tight if you are tall. there's space under the front seats you can tuck your feet though.

hope other 207 owners can comment on this too.

This post has been edited by lowpro: Jul 29 2011, 09:06 AM

U can go visit d showrooms at Jln Anson-Jln Mecallister junction or d 1 at AutoCity mah.

Dun own 207 or Fiesta, but I find d 207 rear accomodation looks n feels slightly better than Fiesta's due to d bigger glass area n foot space below d front seats.

Thanks Deja Vu and lowpro for the information.

Great to hear that the rear seat is comfort


The reason why I still no yet go test drive, is because I need to take care my 2 year old baby.

Weekday back from work I need to go pick my baby, Saturday full day as nanny, as my wife working on Saturday .

The only free day is on Sunday, but I still need to take care my baby as my wife need to cook and do housework.

Walau, I just knew that I really no life at all

Just now my wife ask me, what is the crash rating for 207, and i can't find any information about it (Malaysia version).

Anyone know about the crash rating for 207?

This post has been edited by fatm4a1: Jul 29 2011, 11:24 PM

No one know about the crash rating for 207?

One of my friend said that is 5 star crash rating for 207.

Is it true? As I can't find any information about it/

hows the FC for this car ?

the sound proofing is good? the one i test drive is very very noisy. and it would be acceptable if the engine sounds good, unfortunately it doesn't. trust me, u'd be beter off with a fiesta.

well, as an owner i find the engine note of the 207 sedan really quiet and acceptable but the irony was, when i tested the fiesta sedan, i found the engine noisy especially on kick down. strange that you found the opposite! didn't like the squashed mondeo looks too. a bit to 'jelly mould' look for me. and, since i take clothes to the laundrette for ironing, the lack of grab handles for rear passengers was a big turn off for me. as someone who drives the 207 daily, i'd highly recommend it over its competitors.

about the crash rating, well, it is based on the 206 and the 206 had a 4-star euroncap crash rating.

Thanks for the information you really help me a lot.

Yesterday I pass by the Peugeot show room and go down to have a look for 207 sv model. Is red color 207 sv in the show room, very impress me, it really look nice with the body kit, big different if compare with the photo I saw on internet.

The doors closing sound was better then earlier versions, improve a lot.

Love it

Hope my wife will approve my request.

This post has been edited by fatm4a1: Jul 31 2011, 10:38 AM

saw the SV version, thought the leather texture on dashboard looked funny but love the huge boot space. specs looks very good for RM 77k, 1.6 car.

either this, or Fiesta 1.4 or Inspira 1.8. each about 5k apart. all seems nice. that also haven't bring in Forte 1.6EX into the picture.

the 207SV certainly looks to be better value than any Vios or City.

white 207sv with oz rims!

actually, got this website you can use to put oz rims on the car you choose have fun!

http://www.ozracing.com/facecar/default.aspx


Attached thumbnail(s)

207sv vs inspira 1.8, which one saves more petrol?

grrr smell from outside comes in too easily..anyone facing this ?

make sure you press the button to recycle inside air. i don't get it much in my 207 but it is almost impossible to hold out outside smells. we'd suffocate to death if the cabin was air tight. no matter which car, there will still be a bit of outside air (together with the smells) coming in.

Hi, everybody. Im a Peugeot 207 owner. I wonder why my car has weird sound from the back seat sofa. Its like the screw attached loosen when making a turn it will sound yii ohhh yiii ohhhh. I hv never got this prob with any other cars. I need ur help guys. Tq

any review or comment for 207 SW? I planned to buy this.

hi, i thought of buying a 207.. But the ones that I saw wasn't a sedan type. There was no boot. Do they still sell those? Or I'm looking at something else here?

malaysia don't have the hatchback... too expensive to sell here. only got sedan here. if u google for images, look for 207 sedan. by the way, still got the 3 years free service and the first 8 winners of the 207 gimme more contest just announced.

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 ?

Kindly update your problems / issues here:

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2100407/+0#entry46609741

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.

http://paultan.org/2011/11/09/peugeot-208-...in-spring-2012/

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.

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.
