Used Car Peugeot 207

PEUGEOT 207 5 Door Hatchback

The Peugeot 207 is a supermini produced by the French automaker Peugeot and unveiled in January 2006. According to JATO Dynamics, an automative market researcher, the model was the bestselling car in Europe in 2007.


The 207 was launched in France, Spain and Italy during April 2006 and later on in other European markets.


The UK launch was on 8 June 2006. Amicus and the TGWU, both unions representing workers at PSA's UK manufacturing plant in Ryton, Coventry, chose the same day to launch a campaign calling for the boycott of PSA's Peugeot and Citroën vehicles in the UK. The campaign was in protest against the company's plans to close the Ryton plant.


The 207 is designed to be the successor to the 206. However, Peugeot has decided to keep the 206 in production until 2010, though since December 2006 production has taken place in Poissy, near Paris rather than at the Ryton plant in England. The 207 is based on a modified version of the platform used for the Citroën C3, and is built in Poissy and a new plant near Trnava, Slovakia.


It is available with six petrol engines as well as three HDi diesel engines. From petrol-powered engines there are two 1.4-litre 8v with 75 or 16v 90 hp (67 kW) and now a 1.4 vti 95 bhp (71 kW/96 PS) as well as four 1.6-litre: a 110 bhp (82 kW/112 PS) base version, a 120 bhp (89 kW/122 PS) Valvetronic engine, and two turbocharged versions, one with 150 bhp (112 kW/152 PS) , and the other with 175 hp (130 kW/177 PS).


The latter three engines result from the cooperation agreement between PSA and the BMW group. The diesel-powered engines available are a 1.4 litre 70 hp (52 kW) or a 1.6-litre HDi with maximum output of 90 or 110 hp (82 kW), the latter with the addition of an intercooler.


The 207 is available as a three- or five-door hatchback, and a 207 CC coupé convertible version was launched in March 2007, details of the 207CC were first released by Peugeot in December 2006. Station wagon and mini MPV versions are expected to join the line-up later this year. A GTI version is available with the 175 hp (130 kW) turbocharged 1.6 litre engine.


It has sold well in Britain, being the sixth best selling car overall (and third in the supermini sector) in 2007 with more than 67,000 examples being sold.via

Used Car Hummer H3 SUV

Used Car Hummer H3 SUV

The Hummer H3 SUV is a vehicle from General Motors' Hummer division, introduced in 2006. The H3 is the smallest of the three Hummer models, and though the H3 concept car was a pickup truck, and currently introduced as a conventional SUV, with a future model close to the concept being planned to be launched in the third quarter of 2008. Its platform is based on the GMT355 which underpins the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks.

The Hummer H3 is a midsize SUV that comes standard with a 220-horsepower, 3.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive. This inline-5 is the same engine found in General Motors' midsize pickups. While it's adequate for the pickups and general use around town, it is often overwhelmed by this SUV's nearly 2.5 tons of curb weight. In our Hummer H3 road test, we recorded a 0-60-mph time of 11 seconds. Fuel economy isn't all that great either. For 2008, the Alpha version of the H3 debuted, sporting a 300-hp 5.3-liter V8 that provided more respectable performance. With the Alpha, the 0-60 dash was reduced to 8.8 seconds.

More impressive than the powertrain is the vehicle's ability to handle off-road terrain. Allowed to play in the dirt, the smallest Hummer is basically unstoppable. With 9.1 inches of ground clearance, loads of wheel travel, oversized all-terrain tires and standard skid plates, the H3 can pretty much go wherever you want without taking damage. For optimum performance, add the optional Off-Road Suspension Package to get a shorter-geared transfer case for better hill climbing and descending, a locking rear differential, 33-inch off-road tires and firmer suspension tuning.

Selecting a Hummer H3 is pretty straightforward, as there are only two styles: base and Alpha. Standard equipment highlights on the base H3 include dual-zone air-conditioning, a six-speaker CD stereo, cruise control and power windows, mirrors and locks. The aforementioned off-road package, leather upholstery, power-adjustable and heated front seats, side curtain airbags and an MP3-compatible stereo are optional. The Alpha adds the V8 engine as well as leather seating, upgraded audio, heated seats and more chrome trim, including the wheels.
