Iv had my 407 petrol for a couple of months now, i use it for all the short hops and shopping runs.
The care is faultless, get a petrol not a diesel and i think they are a great car for the money.
Mine is a 2.2 2004, 65k full history car 1 company owned, i paid 3k exactly for it.

There's a reason for that though and that is they are awful.
Very plastic interior, not that reliable, feel like if you are going to hit something then it will absolutely destroy the car. That was a 2006 model and was a company car for a while (no choice company car I might add). I also had a 307 for a while and I would say the same about them. The only thing with the 407 is it did have a few toys on it.
I wouldn't touch them with a stick.

You sound like a Mini Me version of Fox.
What's a plastic interior got do with anything, given that the segment in which they're sold consists of Mondeos, Vectras, Lagunas and such like. You're buying a used £4k mid price average saloon for the masses, not a Bentley GT. They're really good value on the used market for the amount of car that you get.
As for, "if you are going to hit something then it will absolutely destroy the car", you don't half talk a load of drivel.

To be fair he did only say it felt like it would destroy the car, not that it would.
Anyway, no it dosent feel like a german interior, but its still quite a nice place to be, very airy and light. Certainly no worse than its competitors.

Can't access that PH link due to work filters, but if its a Mk1, its a bit of a grim looking car. Also the so called sporty version of these VAG boxes have a knobbly ride quality which you don't get with PSA saloons which are more comfortable in terms of ride compliance, have softer seats etc.
