What new hatch should I replace my Peugeot 407 with?

I have a Peugeot 407 1.8 petrol with 133,000 on the clock and I'm looking at Mazda3, Volkswagen Golf, SEAT Leon, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or sticking with Peugeot 308 new. Any recommendations on trade-in of 407 and choice?

Thank you

Hi Donagh,

All of the cars you've listed there will be both a lot more reliable and much more economical than your 407, but potentially your best bet is to stay within the Peugeot dealer network where you'll most likely get the best deal on your trade-in. The new 308 is looking pretty impressive, comes with a five-year warranty and Peugeot's build quality has come on a long way since the 407...

Let us know which way you go
