Performance PEUGEOT 107 HATCHBACK REVIEW

Review-OnRoad The 107 is available only with a 68bhp three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol powerplant, but in such a light car, 68bhp is enough. The 107 is nippy in town and can hold its own on faster roads if you use the gears. A semi-auto gearbox with a full auto programme is an option on Urban models.


Ride & Handling

Review-OnRoad The 107’s small size and sharp turning circle make it nimble, but it isn’t as agile as it might be out of town because of its sluggish initial steering response. At higher speeds, it turns more eagerly. The ride is hard and noisy over sharp surface changes.



Refinement

Review-OnRoad The thrummy note of the three-cylinder petrol engine is ever-present and part of the car’s charm. Less welcome, however, is the amount of road and wind noise at out-of-town speeds. Everything works smoothly, though – even the full auto programme in the semi-automatic gearbox.

The Peugeot 107 is a city car produced by the French automaker Peugeot since summer 2005.The peugeot 107 was developed by the B-Zero project of PSA Peugeot Citroën in a joint-venture with Toyota; the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo are badge engineered versions of the same car, although the Aygo has more detail differences than the C1. All three are built at the new facilities of the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech joint-venture in the city of Kolin, Czech Republic. It is a four-seater available as a three or five-door hatchback. The peugeot 107 replaces the peugeot 106, which ceased production at the end of 2003 after 12 years.

The rear view of the Peugeot 107 shows the tail light clusters it shares with the Citroën C1, but not with the Toyota Aygo.

In January 2010, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced that it is recalling "under 100,000 units" of the 107 and the Citroën C1, following the worldwide recall by Toyota for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal - in which the Aygo is affected. Under certain circumstances, the pedal can stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position.[1]
