Peugeot 107 (05 on) - Review

Review by David Ross on
Last Updated: 20 September 2011
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.

Buying new

It's certainly worth shopping around between your local Peugeot dealer and the equivalent Citroen (for the C1) and Toyota (for the Aygo) showrooms to get a good deal. Playing one off against another should see the price drop, however you're most likely to get the best discount on a Citroen. The 107 is the only one of the three that's available with a slightly sporty look - the Sport XS model getting alloy wheels and body stripes.

Buying used

The 107 can be a real bargain as a second hand buy and as there's only one engine choice the line-up is simple. Be aware that the Urban Lite is the base level and misses out on the more generous kit that the Urban comes with.

Selling

Like its two sister cars, the 107 will be easy to sell because it is affordable and cheap to run. It's an ideal car for those that have just passed their driving test.
