PEUGEOT 207 CC test since 2006 convertible

Open the sun

PEUGEOT 207 CC. Price: from 722 000 rub. On sale: since 2007
 



It's time to move the winter to the trunk! Peugeot issued 207 cc. Young lion cub with a pedigree: his ancestor was the eldest in the tribe of compact folders.
 
10 km/h is very slow. I am going very slowly and I will give the top of the new PEUGEOT coupe to lower the top key. It’s good that it is not long to wait: after 25 seconds, the roof already takes its rightful place. That is, in the trunk. The ability to convert a compartment to a convertible on this move is not important for us. It is impossible to stop in the middle of the road in pedantic Europe in order to put an umbrella in the bag: they can’t pass the people. We will not have such problems for a long time: it’s easier to stop than weaving. Everything else that flaunts 207 CC is good for our objective reality. For example, the car has a spare wheel.
 
In this very reality, the sky regularly waters us and sprinkles. There are no problems: unlike the many of its colleagues, the small folding Peugeot looks quite decent even when the compartment pretends. In winter, everything will be beautiful and almost everything is pleasant, with the exception of the impossibility of opening the door of any plague Peugeot with a seven after zero, retaining the purity of hands.
 
As soon as the snowdrops climb from the cracks of asphalt, and the sun will smile from above, you can safely open. The stove supports the summer microclimate, even when it is cool on the outside, and the raised side glasses along with the elaborated aerodynamics provide sovereignty of the internal airspace at speeds from 19 to 190.
 
be healthy
 
Peugeot 207 CC actively protects the walking even when its role is passive. The body is integrated outwardly an inconspicuous, but powerful energy -absorbing cell. Its action is supplemented by active safety arches, triggered simultaneously with the paratroopers.
 
Five airbags protect passengers in front and side. The driver also received the protection of the knees from the steering column.
 
Do not get into a situation where pillows are needed, good handling, a good motor and a dynamic ESP stabilization system will help.
 
The hundred -fit 1.6 engine with a high -pressure turbine is good. A five -speed mechanics is enough. And you should not wait for the author of the plaques in the spirit of some lighters, a turbocer-coat and pocket pistols from the author. The miracle of the Franco-German Motor-Building Thought honestly gives the gearbox to its 240 nm from one and a half thousand RPM, but it is time for us to review the scale of ideas about what is good and what is a lot. The 207th weighs 1400 kg today. It's like a Volga! 150 honest horsepower pulls such a wagon confidently, but not fun.
 
Management and control bodies are an interesting topic for conversation. The image of the car is whole, and nothing is knocked out of it. It begins, traditionally for Peugeot, with a viscous lever of the CP and continues through the brake-gas until the nature of the suspension is on irregularities. The impression is that the whole car is made of one piece of rubber. It is one thing: it accelerates this way, so slows down, and so screws into turns. The last 207 SS makes it more willing to be more willing to the front -wheel drive majority. But there are delays: you have to patiently wait until the car burns itself on the outer side before resting with tires on the asphalt. When this happens, it can be noted that the lion cub is great, and the speed on the arc is solid. The delays are striking more than it should be due to the fact that old ideas are sitting in my head about how small cars are traveling. And 207 SS is not at all as easy as compact. Imagine that you are driving a medium-sized sedan of a comparable mass, and you will understand that the suspension engineers did not in vain ate their asparagus.
 
All these kilograms are not only a folding roof. This is the rigidity of the open body and many weighty pieces of iron that make all kinds of vehicles of the car with the environment safer. With all, including the mother itself, the land: in PEUGEOT they seriously insured the riders in case of the coup of the car with powerful front racks and active safety arcs, which jump out 20 cm with the danger of overturning.
 
So, you can be calm for the windy friends. They are safe, in beauty, in the air and in the steering wheel. And there is no threat that they will be often asked from there. Peugeot made an excellent walking coupe-capricate, which shares the pleasure of the trip exactly equally between the driver and the passenger. Thoughts about discrimination will arise only if life makes us recall that Peugeot 207 CC has a second row of seats. However, this compartment today is already suitable for sitting: in order to fit the third there, it is not necessary to be a knitting of clubs for golf.
 
We do not love
 
Beautiful: you can choose not only the color scheme of a large display. You can choose even one of seven aromas, if you like.
 
Nice: love accessories? PEUGEOT offers the wind curtain. There is no great need for it: aerodynamics 207 CC is so good.
 
Driving
 
Confident behavior of a normally tuned European car. Separately praise or scold the car for nothing.
 
Salon
 
Expensive decoration with leather compartment compartment to the face. Good seats and convenient steering wheel. There is a little space even for passengers of the second row of seats.
 
Comfort
 
Good study of aerodynamics with an open top. A dense, but not stiff suspension.
 
Safety
 
Serious equipment.
 
Price
 
Naturally high.

Our opinion
 
Comfort and safety. PEUGEOT 207 CC is only trying to seem like a toy: this is a solid and generously equipped serious compact for frivolous use. The small Capriolet compartment from Peugeot matured with those who were Yun when the Peugeot 206 CC came out.
