We say The Peugeot 207 is a good all-round supermini that compares favourably to most in its class.Performance The 207 comes with a veritable swathe of engines, with the 90bhp 1.4-litre and 110bhp diesel good choices. A 172bhp 1.6-litre GTi sits at the top of the range as a ‘warm hatch’.Emissions The wide range of engines reflects in efficiency figures as well. Choose a smaller diesel and fuel economy is impressive. A road tax free model is available.Driving The Peugeot 207 offers a great drive with plenty of grip and steering feel, and the ride is good too.Feel Quiet unless you're flogging one of the less powerful engines. The petrol engines in particular make a bit of a racket at higher speeds. The diesels are smooth and quiet.Space It’s a supermini so space is at a premium but the 207 uses it well. There is plenty of space for four passengers and decent boot that extend with the rear seats folded.Equipment A CD player is standard but if you want air con you'll have to flash the cash with a higher trim level. Basic but not lacking in any major area.Price Cheap to run and starting prices compare favourably with rivals. Value should hold up well too. Choose engines wisely and it offers excellent value-for-money.Quality The base-level interiors start off looking smart and look more impressive as you move up the trim levels.Safety Six airbags and ABS with EBD. A maximum five-star EuroNCAP rating tells you everything you need to know about its safety credentials.Pros Good quality, good drive, good space. The Peugeot 207 is a good car and it won’t break the bank to buy or run.Cons There are some dodgy engines that are best avoided and some very good rivals cannot be ignored.Alternatives Renault Clio, Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa, Volkswagen Polo
