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 Ford Focus
Ford Focus is the name of a series of compact/small family cars made by the Ford Motor Company and sold in most Ford markets worldwide. As with other Ford models, today different versions of the car are sold in North America and in other markets.
The Ford Focus has been created to empower the driver. Each precision built component, each advanced technology, chosen to work in harmony and deliver a smooth, exciting driving experience – one that allows you to enjoy every twist and turn in the road and leave stress behind. The Ford Focus is packed full of technology that delivers at every turn from the Anti-lock braking system (ABS) to the optional Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), with Traction Assist for extra stability.
The refined interior cocoons around the driver and passengers, creating a feeling of snugness and security. You’ll love spending time inside the Ford Focus. Minimal gaps between body panels, thicker front door side glass and new double door seals virtually eliminate wind noise, so all you’ll hear is the reassuringly solid clunk of the door closing. Ergonomically designed, everything intuitively in the right place, you may be forgiven for thinking that Ford Focus has been created just for you.
You can feel the excitement of driving the Ford Focus just by looking at it. Refined design and functional elegance provide a look that’s solid and well crafted. The Ford Focus comes in a range of bodystyles to suit your lifestyle perfectly, whichever you choose. There’s a 3-door hatchback, the refined 5-door hatchback, the elegant 4-door saloon and the stylish and practical estate.
Driving is always more enjoyable when you are protected. So the Ford Focus’s tough body structure is complemented by an Intelligent Protection System (IPS). Ford Focus has a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and has also been awarded a 4-star child restraints rating and a 2-star pedestrian protection rating. via
