3 out of 5 stars

For Plenty of style and kit for your money. Good diesels

Against Luggage space is mediocre, and the car feels too slow-witted on twisty roads

Verdict The 407 SW is a distinctive family estate that's practical, if not hugely spacious

Go for… 136bhp 2.0 HDi

Avoid… 1.8 and 3.0 V6 petrol

1. The load bay isn’t as big as many rivals’, but it’s a useful shape and accessed by a split-opening tailgate
2. There’s stacks of kit, but all the buttons on the dash can be confusing
3. There have been isolated reports of problems with the HDi diesels. Watch for any that run roughly at idle
4. Injector problems, sticky throttles and trouble with the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve are known trouble-spots on diesels
5. Those in the front have plenty of space, and the estate’s higher roofline creates more rear headroom than in the saloon
