Peugeot 107 (05 on) - Review

The 107 is the sister car to the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo - a simple to drive and cheap to run small car, that's ideal if you spend most of your time driving in busy built-up areas. Unlike the C1 (which was available with a diesel) the 107 has only ever been available with one engine - the same three-cylinder 1.0-litre unit that's shared by all three cars. It's an eager unit that's happy to be revved hard which, combined with the sharp handling and impressive body control, makes the Peugeot good fun to drive. It's available as either a three-door or five-door - and although the interior is a little basic - it's comfortable with a surprising amount of rear room for such a small car. In 2009 it was facelifted with a new front end and upgraded interior while the engine was tweaked for even better efficiency.
