Peugeot 107 (2005-2014) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Simple to drive and easy to park	Lots of wind and road noise at speed
Very cheap to buy and run	Jerky 2-Tronic automatic
Perky looks	Entry-level cars are very basic

Quick Summary

The Peugeot 107 (2005-2014) is an entry-level city car that prioritises low running costs and reliability over luxury and practicality. Sharing its robust engine and transmission with the Toyota Aygo and Citroën C1, the 107 is a dependable small car that rarely lets you down. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for urban driving, with light steering and nippy handling that make parking and manoeuvring effortless. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine produces just 68bhp, but the car's lightweight construction means it feels surprisingly responsive around town.

Running costs are exceptionally low, with official fuel economy of 61.4mpg (later models achieving 65mpg) and real-world returns easily exceeding 50mpg. Vehicle excise duty is minimal at no more than £30, whilst insurance groupings range from 3 to 5 (of 50), making it particularly appealing to younger drivers. Servicing is affordable, with interim services costing less than £100 at a Peugeot main dealer, and most parts are easily accessible and inexpensive. However, practicality is limited: there's no glove box, rear seat space is tight, and the 139-litre boot is tiny. Wind and road noise at motorway speeds can be intrusive, and the 2-Tronic automatic transmission is jerky. Entry-level models are very basic, so later trims with air-conditioning and Bluetooth are preferable.

Best for: Budget-conscious city drivers, first-time car buyers, and those seeking minimal running costs and insurance premiums.

Not ideal for: Families needing practicality, motorway commuters, or buyers seeking a quiet, refined driving experience.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the 107 if: You're a budget-conscious city driver, a first-time car buyer, or seeking minimal running costs and insurance premiums.

Consider alternatives if: You need practicality for families, plan frequent motorway journeys, or require a quiet, refined driving experience.

Competitive Position: The Peugeot 107 (2005-2014) is an excellent budget city car, offering exceptional value and minimal running costs. However, it faces stiff competition from the Skoda Citigo, which scores higher across all ratings and offers better value deals. The Seat Mii provides similar practicality with improved refinement, whilst the Ford Fiesta Mk6 delivers superior handling and a more engaging drive. The 107 remains the cheapest option to buy and run, making it ideal for cost-conscious buyers willing to compromise on refinement and practicality for affordability.
