Peugeot 207 GTi's handling praised

The handling of the new Peugeot 207 GTi has received praise from an independent motoring journalist.

Set to appear in Peugeot car dealerships later this year, the model boasts a plethora of sporty external features, including a roof spoiler, chrome tailpipes, side skirts and alloys.

And the manufacturer does not neglect matters below the bonnet - the GTi can accelerate to 62 mph in 7.1 seconds before maxing out at 137 mph.

However, Sam Hardy, car reviewer at Auto Express, singled out the level of control on offer to drivers as a particular plus point.

"With stiffer springs and dampers, plus uprated suspension mountings, the GTi adds more grip and agility to the fluid handling," he explained.

"The upgraded electric steering is impressive as well."

The Peugeot 207 is the successor to the long-running 206 supermini, which was originally launched in 1998.
