Peugeot 107 Car Review
The Peugeot 107 is the epitomy of no-frills motoring for the masses and it works. The Peugeot 107 has a big-car feel in a city car package and it's also still very reasonably priced, if not cheap.
There's just a 68bhp three-cylinder one-litre petrol or a 1.4-litre diesel with 55bhp available. Still, performance is actually quite good with both engines allowing it to weave effortlessly through busy city traffic. It performs well on the motorway too, although the three-cylinder can start to sound loud and buzzy after a while, and you have to be rough with the five-speed gearbox to get the best out of it. The 1.4 diesel is a much more grown-up engine and so turns the cars into a relaxed performer.
Despite its miniscule dimensions the Peugeot 107 can still fit four adults inside comfortably, although anyone over six-foot may find it a touch tight around the knees in the rear. The luggage space is almost nonexistent at just 139 litres, although without rear passengers, the 50/50 split rear seats fold to increase the space to 751 litres. Access is really quite poor through the small, narrow rear door.
The 107 has three specifications, the Urban-Lite (electric power steering, radio/single CD player with MP3 socket) the Urban (remote central door locking, electric windows, 50/50 split folding rear seats) and the Sport XS (alloy wheels, a rev counter, front bumper spoilers, twin racing stripes, a leather trimmed steering wheel and a red finish to the centre console. The Aygo has standard, Plus and Sport. The base model offers just a CD player while the Plus adds electric front windows and the Sport gives you alloys. Air con isn't standard on any model.
Starting below £7k, the 107 from Peugeot is great value for money since that's the area normally ruled by badly built cars from the east. They offer a fresh, fun interior and quirky exterior that's more practical than its size would have you believe.
