PEUGEOT 207 CC test since 2006 convertible

Antipol

I felt a stranger at this holiday of women's life. The only pleasure is a folded roof.

 
What overshadowed the joy of communication with the new French SS? Lack of dynamics. The car weighs pretty much, the equipped mass is 1352 kg. At the same time, at the factory under the hood they put an engine with a capacity of only 120 hp. In addition, the 1.6-liter engine was complemented, as it were, in a mockery of the driver like me, like a four-speed automatic. As a result, a beautiful machine, which, by all external signs, should bring pleasure to the owner every second, does it only when the weather is quite warm and sunny when the roof is hidden in the trunk.
 
You go and admire the sky, people admire you. There is no need to rush anywhere. We must stretch the pleasure. However, it will stretch by itself, since the car does not go over up to a hundred occupies nearly 13 seconds. 207 SS accelerates with the strain, the transmission in the machine is long. Of course, she can fly forward if it is for some time to get out. But in the city you need to slow down. And then again to hardly gain speed. Being torture!
 
Meanwhile, the car has a well -knocked suspension, a rather strong body that preserves silence even with a folded hard roof. After all, there is in the arsenal 207 SS quite lively turbocharged engine, created in alliance with BMW motorriers. There is a pair in a couple! What is there a turbo engine, even under an atmospheric 1.6-liter, a manual gearbox is asked. But marketing wants to see a machine gun in a ladies car. Marketing sees in Russia the best version of 207 SS is the weakest. So drivers with gasoline in the blood receive a ligament of 1.6 liters of engine alien to them for a test. However, the driving style of ladies rarely implies aggression. And as a non -aggressive vehicle Peugeot 207 CC fully consistent model. Even ESP is disabled here only to a speed of 60 km/h, you can’t play.
 
But you feel to get into a turn quickly, drop the gas cut, and the car will be exposed! However, ESP sends hello, recalling that its less stringent settings remain the prerogative of the most powerful version. And the lion's design does not catch me in general. Exclusion view of the side with a spectacular translausion in the lower part and some angles with the lowered roof. In all other cases, I am only ready to admit that this machine, most likely, will like the ladies about this and their views said about this and then. They all would definitely like this to themselves. To go shopping with a girlfriend, then fold the roof and move to some popular Moscow beach, further to the fashion cafe, then effectively interest the gentleman at the wheel of an open SL.
 
But these simple female joys are alien to me! And to find at least some excuse that I am driving this machine, I have to lower the roof. Frankly, I would like to sit all the time of the test in the passenger seat. And it is extremely desirable that there was a girl at the same time (we somehow went with a male colleague and catch ambiguous views on ourselves). Then, perhaps, I could find harmony in relations with this Peugeot. And so the parting with the Cabiolet compartment was not sad for me.
