The Peugeot’s 2.0-litre diesel produces 100Kw and 320Nm and does a great job of moving this large car that weighs in at around 1732kg. The Peugeot’s steering is light, precise and offers a nice level of feedback that lets you feel adequately involved in the drive experience. Parking sensors are a great help in handling the Peugeot’s large dimensions. Style is the main reason for buying a 407, but there are compromises to be made – rear visibility and headroom are compromised by its slinky shape and, unlike many rivals, there’s no hatchback option.
