No 5's post does little to convince anyone a 207 GTI is as or more reliable than an Integra Type R (which the 207 should be, of course). Not sure when I said it was more reliable than any other car. I simply stated my experience with it and like most cars, some of the common problems they can have. Asked on 30 June 2014 by Pug 206. Answered by Honest John. That's a 4-speed torque converter auto. All transmissions suffer their greatest torque reactions changing from 1st to 2nd gears so these are the first to go. It's a toss-up whether to take it to a Peugeot dealer or to a member of www.fedauto.co.uk I'd favour the latter. The legendary GTi is back - but it's not as raw as its forebears.
