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.
