Peugeot 107 Urban

Good points
This car is so economical its hard to believe its actually using petrol. I am nearly six foot tall and I find the seats extremely comfortable no backache after a long journey, plenty of leg and head room. For a small car the cabin has been really well thought out, gear shift is smooth, the steering feels precise, plenty of spaces in the cabin to store maps, loose change, cd’s, the cd player has a quality sound, the whole car has a quality solid feel to it. The heater instrument panel will make you want to drive this car at night the red glow is so infectious. I find the road performance above average for a small engine car on the motorway, whilst you have to use the gears to get up to speed it does the business. Parking is a doddle. Excellent value for money.

Bad points
I have to ask the wife’s permission to drive it… the boot is tiny but the rear seats fold down quite smoothly to create extra room, the rear window gives good visibility but the rear passenger side windows are almost filled in which I understand is a safety feature to bolster the car if it should happen to turn over, the oval wing mirrors however do compensate so there are no blind spots.

Other comments
Personally I like the design of the car and it has a genuine feel good factor. With a full boot and three passengers it didn’t feel under powered. I think Peugeot have created a great little car.
