For This is as lavish as the 207 SW's kit gets, with standard alloy wheels, a glass roof, tinted rear windows, a sports interior pack and curtain airbags. And, this is the cheapest model with this trim level.
Against The similarly priced 1.6 HDi 92 model returns much better economy and has much more low-down pulling power.
This engine is available only with this trim level, which makes it too expensive an option to recommennd.
Like the Peugeot 207 hatchback range, the SW five-door estate is slightly pricey. That's not such a big problem because you should be able to negotiate a hefty discount on any of the four trim levels and four engine combinations. Discounts of at least £1200 are perfectly feasible, so always check What Car's Target Price for your chosen version before opening negotiation.
The real issue with the car is its weak residual values. For example, after three years and 60,000 miles the 1.6 HDi 110 will be worth only around 37% of its list price. Compare that with a Mini Clubman, which - while not as practical as the Peugeot - still retains 61% of its value. Skoda's diesel Fabia estate also has the Peugeot beaten in the long term, retaining at least 45%. Running costs are reasonable for all engine variants, but securing a good deal really is crucial.
