We say Decent all-round MPV with huge amounts of space but looks and feels very dated. Good choice if you can get round high running costs.Performance The Peugeot 807 comes with 2.0-litre and 2.2-litre petrol and diesel engines. The diesels offer torque, but need to be worked hard to get it out of them. Petrol 2.2 is good enough.Emissions The Peugeot 807 is a big car and as such emissions are high, as are running costs. You'll have to take the hit to get the impressive practicality.Driving The Peugeot 807 is composed and comfortable in the main and particularly excels on motorways. There is a surprisingly little body roll and this helps the car feel a lot smaller than its vast dimensions suggest.Feel The 807 is hushed and smooth even at faster speeds. The cabin is well-insulated and wind noise isn’t really an issue.Space Three rows of seats, seven seats, and sliding doors are designed to be practical. The vast 807 comes with nearly 3000 litres of load space. Huge and practical.Equipment Power steering, CD player, electric windows, electric sliding doors, cruise control, climate control are all standard. Glass sunroof is an option and auto box with the 2-litre models.Price Running costs are fairly high, but list prices and residuals aren't bad and if it’s a vast seven-seater you’re after, it represents fairly good value.Quality Solidly built and good engines, but there are some question marks over reliability and associated high repair costs.Safety ABS and six bags that deploy according to impact. The 807 has five stars in the EuroNCAP tests.Pros Large and practical with box-like dimensions comfortably seating seven and luggage.Cons Expensive running costs, and competitors undercut list price.Alternatives Citroen C8, Ford Galaxy
