407th still among those cars that give the driver the pleasure of managing
Outside is unique, recognizable, characteristic. Its long ... The long nose has long become embarrassed, but it still looks spectacular. Peugeot bearer of original ideas about the middle class. Life turned into such a thing that this means its maximum compactness by the standards of today. When you find yourself
Inside, the difference between 407 and competitors in size becomes the most obvious. Low side line, magnificent visibility, a great feeling of familiar dimensions. PEUGEOT simply put on yourself as comfortable clothes: free, but in size, and go out into the street. You feel stylish.
Soft chairs are simple, but traditionally for Peugeot, this does not prevent them from being comfortable. Often more comfortable than expensive structures with many adjustments. Simple trim plastic, fabric upholstery, classic instrument shield: everything is familiar here. Everything is human. On the second row of seats in Peugeot is not as spacious as in the salons of large new classmates. A recognizable silhouette and graceful lines require the gaze of those who watch
From the inside, it was sophisticated and generous: beauty requires.
A two-liter motor and a four-speed honored machine do not cause attacks of desire to prove something or switch the programs manually. They will organically take the one who are alien to technogenic perfection and engineering view of the car.
The car has reliable and precisely controlled brakes. Excellent steering, strict unlotted stabilization system. At the wheel is to be creepy, reliably, serene. Time goes on, and the work of the chassis from Peugeot is still perfectly perceived. The 407th was the first Peugeot, which was not tuned to twenty-two-year-olds, but at the Balzac age. In fact, the drive remained, and still a slight wandering of accents adds a living sensation to the movement, just switched to swing from the Bugi in Peugeot. Today, the best of the best went much further, creating the chassis showing unprecedented accuracy in management, but the 407th is still among those cars that give pleasure to their pure and exact reactions combined with running comfort. Alas, for the time being. Or to the caliber: until the irregularity of the larger one will force the suspension to mumble with limiters ...
Against the background of the rest, Peugeot is a style. Grace and aesthetics. A little nostalgia and classics. An alternative to the dictatorship of pragmatism or the desire to make a decision that everyone around them will understand. PEUGEOT is bought for you like. They ride them calmly and beautifully. In accordance with yourself.
 

Style and charm weapons of a French machine in a dispute with classmates surpassing it in size
Excellent handling of cars with a lion on the hood of a good tradition since 1983
DESIGN
The first show of 2004, the design under the leadership of Gerard Welter.
OUTSIDE
Triobobid sedan with a single -raised manner? This is especially noticeable on the silhouette, which is formed by the maximum possible radii of the conjugation of racks with a hood and trunk. It seems that so stylists tried to combine the plastic and style of the front and back parts of the body and they are very different. Hypertrophied front overhang and mysterious-pest expression is not balanced in any way with ordinary budget style, in which the back of the body is solved, starting from the middle rack. A miscalculation or manifestation of a French charm? In my opinion, a professional mistake. Take a look at how harmonious the PEUGEOT 407SW station wagon! But in general, the sedan is good, because the fact that his style is of interest, the desired property of the personal vehicle.
INSIDE
There is moral aging of the style chosen four years ago. Although everything is done and right. Perhaps it is too true and there is no charm declared from the face, what was distinguished by the interior of the bestseller Peugeot 206. Passing the steering pillow and in general, why is there so much plastic for aluminum?

100%-but recognizable profile. A long nose, a handed feed. 407th will be remembered for a long time
