2003 Peugeot 607 SE from UK and Ireland - Comments

Nothing.

This car is one of the best cars available at the price in this class.

The seating is extremely comfortable and the driving position can be adjusted to suit anybody.

The cabin and the boot space are vast.

The standard equipment is amazing, including dipping wing mirrors when reverse is selected, auto wipers, auto lights, seat memory, air bags galore. In fact you name it.

I've been driving a 607 2.2HDI SE Auto for the last 6mths and it's fab! The trade and British press seem to hate them, but it's tons better than my previous cars including a Saab 9.3 and Merc C Class. It oozes style and costs half the price to service. Nothing's gone wrong, I'm cosseted in luxury and I'm getting 40 to the gallon. One of the motoring industries most slated, misrepresented models. Depreciation might be a negative factor, but this is one I'm going to keep. Well done Peugeot! Why are those teutonic ten-a-pennies so popular? Badge snobbery, I reckon.

I bought mine second-hand seven months ago (03 Reg), and having had an excellent experience with the 2 litre HDI for the previous 5 years (Citroen) I had no concerns regarding the engine. I have never owned a Peugeot before, but knew enough to know that the depreciation would be scary. I find that as a motorway cruiser, it is really excellent, but also find that I use the Tiptronic around town. Only real problems have been with sensors-quite a few, but these were sorted promptly by the dealer, under warranty. So far seems to be an excellent second-hand buy.

I bought me 607 in 2005. Initially I had no problems with the car. I was enjoying driving the car until I was attending a meeting one day when the car just stopped on the motor way. I could not understand what had gone wrong. I called AA and they could not find what the problem was, so I ended up being towed into a local Peugeot dealer. After two days I received a call saying I need a new engine as something has seriously gone wrong with my engine. The warranty on the car had expired. I received a note from Peugeot a week later telling me they had just discovered a fault in the engine of my Peugeot, and that it will be repaired without any cost from us. I went to my local peugeot dealer and showed them the letter and was told the fault Peugeot had discovered has nothing to do with my car engine. You expect a car like that to have some sort of a warning device to alert you on issues like that. I will advise any one to be careful when buying a car like a 607. Peugeot actually refused to say that car has a problem. I feel they should withdraw the 607 from the market because it has so many faults.

I'm driving a Peugeot 607 V6, and I have lots of problems with the electronics on this car, mirrors, battery issues, and I will not say how much gas it takes for 100 km... so stay away from this car..

We have been driving our Peugeot 607 for 2 years without any problems, until one month ago! It just stopped, it showed the ESP warning triangle and would not re-start until the engine had cooled. It started after 10 minutes and drove for about half a mile and stopped again. A Peugeot main dealer has had the car for a month without discovering the fault, it doesn't give me much confidence in them if they can't work out their own cars!

Enjoyed a 605 for 6 years, and figured a 607 would be the next step. How wrong was I!! It is a V6 - the only model available in Australia. I have owned it for 5 weeks, and it's been at the dealer for all 5 of those weeks, excluding a few days here and there between visits.

Amazing drive, and ride, comfortable interior and monstrous boot, but what a heap of crap.

We just sold our other Peugeot and bought a new FIAT 500 Lounge - a much better car than the small Peugeots available. I will never be purchase another French car again. I can understand why people buy German - they don't have the French flair and individuality, but they're built right. Finished nice and last.

All my friends are selling off their Pugs for Volvos, Passats and even Minis.
