207 Cabriolet
It's easy to make yourself comfortable thanks to supportive seats, and the steering adjusts for reach as well as height. The controls are small but well laid-out, which is just as well, because they're labelled with tiny writing which is difficult to read. The gearshift is firm but precise, and the steering is light at low speeds, but firms up well on the motorway.

Running Costs
The CC is affordable, and dealers aren't shy when it comes to discounts. Resale values aren't too bad, either, because cheap drop-tops are always in demand. Fuel economy is good and emissions are low, which is good news for company car drivers.
207
The driver's seat can be cranked up and down and the steering wheel adjusts in two directions, so people of all shapes and sizes can make themselves comfortable. There's decent space all-round, too, while the uncluttered dash features well-labelled controls, including simple rotary dials for the air-con. The panoramic sunroof means the cabin in light and airy.
Running Costs
The 207 is one of the pricier superminis and this SW version carries a premium of around £850 over the equivalent five-door hatch. Still, you should be able to secure a good discount and running costs are competitive. Each model averages more than 44mpg and the 207 is comparatively cheap to service.
207 Hatchback
The 207 caters for drivers of all shapes and sizes, thanks to a steering wheel that adjusts for both reach and rake and a height-adjustable driver's seat on all models. The lever to adjust the angle of the driver's seat is fiddly to use, however, and the odd position and shape of the door mirrors takes some getting used to.
Running Costs
The 207 isn't cheap and residual values aren't strong, but it's not hard to find big discounts on the list price. Running costs for most models are affordable and the 1.4 diesels are particularly frugal.
