Peugeot 207 CC road test report
The Peugeot 207 CC is a very good looking car and that alone will be enough for it to hold its value well in sun-lovin’ Britain. The added attraction of a folding metal roof guarantees the 207 CC has healthy used prices, so this is a drop-top to own, enjoy and not worry about the pennies in.

There’s a choice of two petrol 1.6-litre engines and a single 1.6-litre turbodiesel in the 207 CC. The less powerful petrol engine has 120bhp to play with and it’s sufficient for most needs, if not particularly full of beans. The turbocharged 1.6 has 150bhp at its disposal and is much perkier, dashing off 0-62mph in 8.6 seconds to the less powerful version’s 10.7 seconds. It’s also the more able when it comes to overtaking thanks to a sizeable extra portion of mid-range grunt. This is the same 180lb ft of shove that the 1.6 turbodiesel offers, so both make short work of passing slower traffic. The diesel is the slowest of the 207 CC bunch off the mark, taking 10.9 seconds from a standstill to 62mph, but it feels quicker and more flexible through its five-speed manual gearbox than the less powerful petrol model.

The Peugeot 207 CC is a very good looking car and that alone will be enough for it to hold its value well in sun-lovin’ Britain. The added attraction of a folding metal roof guarantees the 207 CC has healthy used prices, so this is a drop-top to own, enjoy and not worry about the pennies in. Most models are very reasonable to insure and even the 150bhp GT sits in an affordable group 12. Fuel economy is best in the diesel – no surprises there – and it manages 56.4mpg, so you can drive all day in the sunshine without worrying about filling up. The petrols manage 43.5 and 39.2mpg for the 120- and 150bhp engines respectively. Carbon dioxide emissions of 130g/km for the diesel, 150g/km for the 120bhp petrol engine and 171g/km for the more potent petrol all compare well with rival convertibles. All 207 CCs come with alloy wheels, air conditioning for when the sun is just too hot, electric windows, an electrically operated roof and a CD stereo. The GT also gains cruise control, rear parking sensors and ESP traction control.
