write a Review about the Peugeot 407
Since it went on sale
in June 2004, Peugeot’s desirable 407 is seeing a ‘champion’ within the
range. The Euro IV compliant HDi 110 engine has been hailed a major
success by fleet customers with orders received from some 50 major
fleets in just the past six months.
The 110 bhp HDi turbo
charged diesel engine produces a maximum torque of 180 lb ft at 1,750
rpm which, thanks to the engine’s "over boost" function – activated with
the engine at full load between 1,500 rpm and 3,750 rpm – can provide a
temporary torque increase of 8.3%. With combined fuel consumption figure
of 51.3 mpg this model is both environmentally friendly and economical
to operate. Eco-friendly CO2 readings of 145 g/km and 149 g/km for the
saloon and SW respectively put the HDi 110 diesel in the lowest 15 per
cent bracket for company car drivers.

The Prius is supposed to be the
economic car revolution. My
friends, it is far from it. A
Prius is "supposed" to average
60mpg, in reality a Prius will
on average earn a 40mpg; when
driven carefully. A Peugeot 406
2.0 litre diesel can easily earn
an average of 45+mpg. The worst
part about the Prius is trying
to recycle the "car". The
battery is next to unrecylable
due to the chemicals used; and
because of the complexity of the
car it requires 3x the carbon
emissions to separate the
different materials, this also
applies to the manufacture.
However these cars are the
quietest cars you will ever
drive, and with it's central
computer it is reassuring
knowing what the car is doing at
all times.
