Launched at the end of 2006, the Peugeot 207 GT is for those who want a little speed and excitement from their supermini, but either don’t need, or would rather not pay for, a fire-breathing GTi. But is the GT a decent compromise, or neither one thing nor the other?

A combined mpg figure of 40.3 isn’t too bad for a 150bhp warm hatch, but the GT isn’t outstanding in this respect. As already mentioned, this model is well-equipped and so also comes with auto lights and wipers, folding electric mirrors, climate control, a half leather interior and a ‘panoramic’ glass roof. So, despite a slightly higher purchase price than some of its rivals, the GT represents good value. In my opinion the 207’s Achilles heel is its oversized and ugly black plastic front air intake, but you can’t see that when you’re driving it, and driving it can be wonderful fun.
