Two pugs at our house, and I'm talking of the feline variety, not canine.
2008 Peugeot 207SW 5 door estate in metallic blue, 99k miles, 1.6 manual diesel, Sport trim, also has a panoramic glass roof. Dashcam: JooVuu X
2007 Peugeot 207 3 door hatchback in metallic orange, 82k miles, same engine and trim as above. Dashcam: Shadow GT550WS
Both average about the same 60+ UK MPG, are pretty comfortable, tolerate all but the very worst of speed bumps and potholes nicely, they handle pretty well too in my opinion (especially the little hatchback). Only had a couple of minor issues and cheap to fix, cheap to insure, cheap to service, £30 for 12 months road tax. Love the boot on the estate, wish more cars had a split opening like that, really useful. They are of course missing many of the toys and gizmos found on newer cars, however, that just means less to go wrong which is fine by me. Saying that, the hatchback actually has a full size spare wheel, how often do you get those on new cars nowadays?
If I found out anything over the years about cars it is it doesn't matter what the car is so long as owner is happy with it...
Also agree with that one. There's a lot of dislike towards both the 207 and Peugeot in general (thanks Top Gear, although, I did enjoy that episode A LOT and also *that guy* on YouTube probably hasn't helped matters), but, out of the few cars I've owned in my short-ish driving career, the 207 has been my favourite.
