Peugeot 107 for sale

Why buy a 107?Back to top

Peugeot 107s are affordable to run and fun to drive.

With good efficiency, low running costs and consistent reliability, the Peugeot 107 is one of the most economical city cars on the market. Produced in partnership with Citroen and Toyota, it is the product of some of the world's finest car designers' collective efforts.

Being designed for inner city use, the performance options are slight (there is just one three cylinder 1.0 petrol), but this in turn keeps the run costs down. While this doesn't deliver any sort of power on the open road, in urban situations it runs well. So, a tight turning circle, easy parking and nimble manoeuvring are all where the 107 shows its true strengths.

On roads with a bit more life, the 107 doesn't fare quite as well, particularly the suspension which is geared more towards urban roads than country ones. But keep it in its natural urban environment and it will run and handle comfortably and efficiently.

There is no abundance of space in the 107, but what is on offer is sufficient to transport four people on a short journey. It is no market leader but it doesn't fall too far behind them, although boot space has been compromised to fit in more passenger room.

Similarly, the 107 isn't the best equipped car, but if you want to spend a bit more money you can add on optional extras such as ESP and electric windows. As a simple and affordable runaround, however, it has just enough to satisfy most drivers.

Being economical and durable, and being very reasonable to insure, the 107 is a popular choice among young drivers. This does mean that their price on the used car market is relatively high, but it also means that they tend not to depreciate very much. Coupled with a very impressive 62.8mpg economy and CO2 emissions of 99g/km - putting it crucially into the lowest tax bracket - it is one of the most economical cars available today.
