The 107 was ok, 206 was woeful, 207 was better. 407 wasn't a patch on the 406, 607 was pointless and the 807 was a barge that couldn't compete with the Galaxy on ability or price. None of them were reliable. And I was a Peugeot salesman between 2006 and 2009

I like Peugeot a lot, have done since my mum had an early 90's 106 and my dad had a 405. The 90s stuff was great but fragile but what replaced it was tosh. Thankfully, they seem to have come full circle as the stuff they're putting out today is lovely, especially the interiors.

Hard on ball joints, tappets would be noisy when cold, expensive re tyres but overall it was a thing of beauty. A real grand tourer..I did 70k miles each way daily for 2 years in that weapon. Loved it. Animal in 3rd. Now, the Coupé was built separately to the 407s. But yes, Pugs are great. Don't be talking about Toyota's in the same breath as Pugs folks. Unless you're talking Celicas. Bangernomics, ok, Toyota. But the joy of a Peugeot M16 or an XRAd or a 205 GTi or even a HDi 90/110 or 2.2 should not be underestimated. F*kin great cars. My mechanic loved mine Confession: Ive owned 3 Xantias. 1.9td (210k miles when sold, 2.0 16v (170k miles when sold), HDi 90 (260k miles when sold). Some annoyances but wonderful machines.
