Peugeot 207 GTi (2007) CAR review

Verdict

Forget about the 205GTi and 306 Rallye; sadly for lovers of hardcore hot-hatchery, those days are gone. So rather than judge the 207 GTi against its predecessors, the more relevant question is whether it’s a good example of a modern hot hatch and better than its current rivals. And it is fast, it is capable and it is refined, requiring no compromises to use day to day. But surely there’s more to a hot hatch than that. Good car, but not the car we’d hoped for.
