“Here’s a test that will define your age. If Peugeot means Gallic luxury and sophistication, you’re probably over forty. If the brand instead conjures up images of manic hot hatches, you’re likely thirtysomething. If, on the other hand, it means sensible, well built but largely unspectacular cars, you’re in a younger age group again. With the 407 medium range car, Peugeot are aiming to fuse the best of all these generations, offering a sophisticated, well built car that’s as good to drive as it is to look at. It’s a tall order and one that many rivals have fallen short of achieving”.
