Peugeot 107 hatchback review - CarBuyer 

To be fair, I have this car and have taken it on motorways and I can honestly say I didn't have any of these problems. Yes, my foot was flat to the floor to get it up to 70, but it didn't take too long at all and once I hit 70 it wanted to keep going and I had to reduce my speed considerably to get back to the speed limit. I love my 107 and couldn't fault it, it's done 200.6 miles since the last time I put a full tank of fuel in it and it's only dropped one bar so no complaints from me! My friends with other cars are actually jealous of how cheap this car is to run and its perfect for me being a student and only working part time, it gets me where I need to be at a low cost and long journeys don't bother me at all. So I'd say anyone thinking to buy this car who isn't too bothered about the lack of space; just do it, you won't regret it!

Had a 107, sold it for a mini, 5 yrs later I've gone back to 107 as I love them. Totally reliable workhorses and so cheap to run. I drive on motorways, the noise isn't an issue. I just turn the radio on!

I've owned one of these for about 1 year now and the car is great!! I'm not looking for a flashy expensive car to show off to my friends but just something that gets me back and forth to work everyday and this does this perfectly! I have to drive 20 mins to work and 20 mins back and on motorways!! I've never had any problem with the engine being noisy or having to throttle it to get it up to high speed!! Honestly this is a great car for me and I won't be changing any time soon 😊😊😊

All these ‘problems’ she mentions aren’t problems at all. I have this exact car and it is honestly so comfortable. Also, although the engine is louder, it’s a 3 cylinder, so what do you expect? Plus you can’t even notice it after a while. I’ve done motor way driving and it’s perfectly fine. I love my little car and wouldn’t trade her for anything..

I don't take any notice f these car buyer reviews. All the normal cars seem to get bad reviews. It's as if they compare everything to 50k cars or something.

I've owned a Peugeot 107 since 2010, a Millesim which was top spec for the time. It's a fantastic little car. It is noisey on the motorway (more wind noise than engine), but it's definitely not an unpleasant car to drive. The girl in this must have expensive tastes regarding using the 107 for long journeys. I drove me and the girlfriend to Budapest last year in the 107, a 3,500 mile round trip. It was absolutely fine, and fun to drive!

I drive a Peugeot 107 and it's really economical. I drive 15 miles to work along a dual carriageway and whilst it does take a while to accelerate to 70 mph, once you're up there it's fine, if a bit noisy. If you want a cheap, reliable car, get a 107.

Great on motorways. Fun to drive and reliable. . Mine has done 178,000 Miles and still going strong! Love it...

I've just got a 2011 basic model and can assure you you don't have to 'thrash' the engine to get it up to speed!!!!! It's perfectly adequate even when getting on the motorway!

My mum has this car and we live in London and have had to drive up to manchester and back in the car and we found it very comfy and quite when on the motorway

All i want frpm a car is good mpg and cheap to insure and reliable to take to work and back with the long range journey now and again

Completely disagree with the 'problems' you have suggested. I love my 107, and it is certainly not uncomfortable or loud on fast roads. I live in the middle of nowhere and spend my entire life driving on country roads. Never uncomfortable or too loud and rarely struggles to get up to speed. Boooo this review.

The only problem I found with mine was the hideously high clutch (which was the garage's fault having clutch the cable at the top). This has now been fixed. If you gear it properly it is a nippy car and looks are subjective to the eyes of the beholder. It's a great city car and will give chavs in 1.2 corsas a run for their money with it's 3 cylinder bottom end pickup.

My brother has this car and it's a good little car! This makes it sound bad when it's not...

I disagree with the reviewer's suggestion that the suspension is firm. I've been driving one for a few weeks on a temporary basis and I think the suspension is pretty soft. Also, considering the car is built to be cheap, build quality is actually pretty damn good.

Keeps getting better and better.

Nice point. I think we all get snobby about internal detailing, and I saw this car and was puzzled by the exposed metal. But that was the way every 70´s car was made, I remember my dad´s Corollas and Coronas from the seventies, in which the door upholstery was only a vinyl-pressed wood square posted on the inside of the door. It was nice, because you could see your dad´s car color from the inside, lol...

Videos bit naff. A own 1 and road noise is quiet. Doesnt return 62mpg like. Says bit small boot but it is a small car. Obviously going to be. Dont know what she expects from it. A had big passengers in bk and no1 complained bout back windows tbh. Shes been fussy. End of rant. Excellent little car for price and size and runin cost

What's up with cheap plastic and exposed metal in the back? It's not the only car that has that plus it's a cheap car to start with and nobody's really gonna care much, kids in particular, I kinda like the rough and kit car look in the back, pure old-school LOL.

They reviewed Vw up and nobody complains about rear windows that don't go down. Such a strange disparity

does she come with the car?

Having so much fun with the Peugeot 107. Hope the Peugeot 108 does better.

well youre absolutly right... also, also in most cheap cars these plastic covers do not cover all of the space, so in most cars there is still a metal rim on the doors... in this cars (peugeot (the one i have) aygo and c1) the matal is included into the intertior design (im very sorry about my language, but i´m fom germany)

I’ve got one of these cars! London to st Agnes in Cornwall for £20 . Can’t go wrong apart from a sore pum pum

I live in the USA and I wish it was for sale here. I like it much more than a Fiat 500 or base Mini Cooper

I live in cannada and watching CarBuyer is pretty interesting because almost all of these small cars cannot be seen anywhere in north america

Overall it's very good city car.

I keep on seeing Matt and Rebecca without buying any cars.Love the way when you say and demonstrate "i can barely reach the pedals now" : )

your reviews are getting better and better! cheers to that girl :)

Love mine , I have the 5 door Allure , as for traveling like most small cars not much room in the boot so put roof racks on top with roofbox plenty of room then for your things ,

Just sold the BMW 520i to get one of these, I have gone from 21mpg to 60mpg the Pug is cheap so I expect to find cheap build, so what. Oh the BMW don't do snow, the Pug does!!

Rebecca holds the world records for making me watch car reviews of cars I literally don't care about or could be able to buy even if I did care about them.

I have a 2012 Peugeot 107 and I think the exposed metal looks nice I have it in red. One other thing I do not agree with in this review is when she state you need to rev it around to keep up to speed that's a total lie I feel the car is very nippy and is suited to all roads.

Had one of these and we took it on long M-way journeys a fair bit. It was fine. If you grab one with air con the windows really don't matter - the a/c could make the cabin like Siberia even in hot sunny conditions. My only gripe was the poorly thought out roof line. It curves down at the back slightly, which makes the rear seats feel a bit closed in. If it had a squarer rear profile it'd feel a lot more spacious without needing to be either longer or wider.

your review is just getting better & better. I like it!

Perfect for a under 25 living with mum

Great little cars. The beauty of them is you have fun at slower speeds. Drive a big performance car at 40mph and it feels boring. Drive the 107 and it's an absolute hoot. I love the 'back to basics' feel and the engine note is intoxicating. It's a proper driver's car. It's not fast but it feels fast and that's all that matters. Yeah on long wide roads people in their 3 litre diesel Audis and Volvos thunder past me like I'm going backwards but that's ok because I have the road to myself and I'm having fun. People tend to leave me alone when I'm in my 107. I've had performance cars and there's always someone wanting to prove themselves against you. I don't get that with the 107 because they just think you're not a car guy. That's fine with me.

I love the Peugeot 107. I have often considered trading in my Vauxhall Vectra from 2000 to down size to one of these.

Just brought this car and it's brilliant and makes me chuckle a little diddy car not noisey at all and room wise what would ya expect somewhere to fit a pool table come on love sort it out it gets me to work, friends and gym what more ya want oh yeah it's bloody cheap to run and there's no catching busses while waiting in the rain Jobs a gooden

i know, but their reviews are really confusing as they dont show the same things in one or the other. for example, the ''non-responsive'' wheel in the toyota aygo review which isnt mentioned in the citroen or the peugeot. i placed the ''...'' because im driving an aygo and im very happy as it is my first car and its ideal.

Ok so it's really not that bad, this car. But a Kia Picanto gets you more car for your money, with proper windows, door cards, a bigger boot, and a 7 year warranty. So if I was going to buy a car in this price bracket, that is the one I would go for.

LOve the way she did the storage bin thing .Good on you Becs.

i love her reviewing cute cars ~ in fact, i started to enjoy her reviews

Great review, rebecca!

I Love PEUGEOT Forever

just right you mean, someone to bring home to the family

I've been driving Peugs in the last years and I am glad that is a Toyota. I love how the 106 drives, but not how it falls apart. Anyway, on most accounts, the 107 is a step backwards...

Citroen and Peugeot work together because they are both french. The Citroen Berlingo Multispace is the same as the Peugeot Bipper Tepee.

Her reviews have got better, like anyting the more you do the better you get. Didn't she used to race cars, should get here in a sporty car to give here perspective as a race driver

Looking to buy this!

i'm shocked that central locking isnt standard, my basic rover 25 from 10 years ago has remote central locking

This car is adorable, shame it's hard to find a black one for sale.

This car is cheaper and better looking than an UP! FACT

drove this car in Paris and south to the Loire valley area... I was quite surprised it was considered a " compact " but I was in Europe a compact in North America would be a Foprd escort or equivalent. I laugh at complaint about boot size, its so small what can you expect?

Her criticisms of the car are ridiculous. She says the exposed plastic and interior metal are 'no good.' Why are they no good? How does this affect the dynamics, driving or usage of the car? I actually like the exposed painted metal and the plastics are tough and perfectly fit for purpose. She says it's uncomfortable and noisy at speed. She forgets to mention that the sound of the engine is music to those of us who like engines and I don't feel any discomfort while driving mine at all. The rear windows don't wind down? If you have kids that's a positive thing. You can rest assured they're not hanging out of the car and for us older drivers it matters not a jot. I sit in the driver's seat so I couldn't give a monkeys about how the rear windows open. As for carrying capacity, if you buy a city car and the lack of space comes as a shock, well there's really no helping you. I wouldn't take any notice of her criticisms. It's what journalists do. they have to invent problems to justify their job. My advice is buy one with confidence because they are superb little cars.

I like the rear door edge going into the tail light. Nice.

I haven't had it long enough to tell you about the rearview mirror problem. And the vents CAN blow into you face if you want them to.

I've just watched Mii review and this 107. I much more like 107.

Basically, a very bad review. I've driven loads of cars, big and small. I've also run the Toyota Aygo version of this car, as a loan from an insurance company for a week. I liked the 3 cylinder growl, and how it is set out inside. It was sufficiently quick on the open road. Yes,, it was a bit noiser when really pressing on on a motorway. But how often would I be doing that ? The only thing that actually disconcerted me was the pitching when , on a fast dual carageway, I went over an unnoticed but substantial bump. I think that would be a function of the short wheelbase... Overall, this car is much more than just a town car. The review on this video seems blinkered.

Brilliant car for the money

Jesus! Wouldn't want to be a passenger in the back if it got rear ended by a lorry!!

Now that would be worth waiting for

I tried to find a car sold with a periscope (even if optional), but invain. Sooner or later some solicitor will get injured because of poor visibility and will take makes to the courts and get them busted, then they will start caring about visibility again. The original 106 was not much longer than the 107 and rides 100 times better. Luggage is not just small, but hard to access and poorly usable. the 107 already needs a proper second generation and a diesel engine.

I do still love the trio of these cars, I agree the last Peugout looked horrible with its chrome brace on its face. this new factlift along with the new C1 is very good. Rear end is still meh, and on that reason i would still go for a Aygo. Can't see why people think this car is shit, I don't know of any other small cars that return that many MPG, £20 in tax, and group 1 - 2 to insure (apart from the crappy Kia's etc) Very smart this car is, ofc you won't buy it for its space & long distance

"I can barealy reach the pedas" - thats because you put your seat back, Rebeca;-

Yeh its exactly the same as the citroen c1 except the face and badges are different

Can you fit two Carseats in the back? We are going to Italy in April and this is the car we will be renting for the two weeks!

yep, it's because soon, it's gonna be law for every new car to have daytime running lights :o(

2010: "And then there’s the boot which is very, very small" PBS: Yeah, whatever. 2012: "It holds its value come resale time" Yooka and Laylee: You don’t fucking say? #Nostalgia #Peugeot #ToBeContinued #YookaLaylee

Mountain bike's wheels are quite big actually, they have 24-26" diameter, but they are really thin, so I know what you meant. So if you use to ride a bike, you'll be riding over a 26" rims, you don't get that even driving an Escalade :D

I thought she did quite a good review, and she is gorgeous

they must be reading comments .. there were people moaning about it on here :)

yes, plastic covers do nothing to the qualify, but it does matter to the safety. Just image in the case of collision, when the body especially the head touches the car body...

you make the negative points sound so positive by smiling and raising you tone. its confusing. But nonetheless good review, keep it up

Definitely! It can even get COLD in the car. Don't worry!

I done a 7 and a half hour journey in the 2005 107

I should think it wouldn't be nearly as necessary in much of the UK as it is in continental areas that consistently get high heat and humidity in summers.

This woman is obviously used to the good life. I think its the best small ever

Good review Rebecca Congrats

best car ever..

The front looks much better than before but I hate the rear end of this car!

I didn't expect a Focus interior but this thing looked pretty sad for an entry-level supermini. Volkwagen Up looks much nicer

Actually did get 62mpg out of mine. There again I also got piston slap after only 20k miles...

This is just like a Toyota Aygo

I don't really get some of the comments made in this video. The 107 is made as "cheap" car. I bought one a few days ago and I love it. Why? Because my previous car was way worse compared to the 107 bought new. In fact I dare drive it all the way to Spain if wanted to. It is comfortable enough. And these down points are obvious if one takes a look at it in the showroom. It's not like: hey this car sucks, damn I already bought it. Cheap review, I'm sorry!

What about, Matt and Rebecca testing ideal car for young pairs. The leg room...cabriolets pretty excel...

There´s an European rule now that makes cars have daylight running lights. And I think all brands will opt for LED lights since they are more efficient.

plastic covers have been proven to improve the survival rates during collision in last ten years

I think in previous video she said that she is 5 foot 4 and a half. So that would be around 164 cm.

0:20 That steering wheel is the same of the Toyota Corolla we got over here

I hate that all car brands are now placing LED's !! the original ones are Audi and Mercedes Benz! All car brands want to be like they are not even close!!

She focuses on the wrong things. The car is together with the sister cars Toyota Aygo and Citroën C1 the most reliable and least expensive car you can own these days

such an old car. 7 years in production and wont die until 2015. Jeez.

Very good review :)

Why do a review on the Aygo, C1 and the 107, when they're all one and the same car?? I don't understand, plus it gets a review as if it's no good at all, while it's perfectly fine for longer runs. i did several longer journeys with mine and no complaints. Taken I've upgraded the stereo before I drove longer stretches, so volume went up when I hit the Highway ;). If you do like the car just because of it's looks and or are just out for a cheap car, don't hesitate to get one, because they're worth it.... Any problems (yes they do have some,) are all fixable and can be found on RU-vid as well, so no worries, buy it, fix it (if it's not done yet) and enjoy !! Cheers!

Dude, women around the world aren't supermodels. Besides, Rebecca is a perfect case of 7.5/10 ...perfectly fine.

The problem with this class of car is that even though it is supposed to be a "city" car, most folks want to be able to once in a while take a road trip that could take 4 or 6 hrs and that is just too much for this to handle, that is why they won't sell in the US

Hola , desde Argentina!! Pregunto , porque carajo Peugeot no lo fabricó en la Argentina, Brasil y toda Sudamérica???

The 107/C1/Aygo still only score three stars in EuroNCAP.

Great car
