The result of the B-Zero (TPCA) project jointly led by PSA and Toyota, the Peugeot 107 is the twin sister of the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo. Produced in Kolín (Czech Republic), this city car benefited from a first facelift (Phase 2) in 2009, bringing a new front bumper and improved soundproofing, followed by a second (Phase 3) in 2012, integrating LED daytime running lights. It is a purely urban, minimalist car, whose great strength lies in its original Toyota 3-cylinder gasoline engine, renowned for its robustness. It is aimed at buyers looking for an economical, easy-to-park, and low-maintenance vehicle.
The Peugeot 107 (Phase 2 and 3) is an ultra-rational choice for the city. Thanks to its Toyota DNA, it avoids the reliability pitfalls of many European city cars of its era. The verdict is clear: buy a 1.0i manual version with your eyes closed, simply checking the boot's watertightness and the clutch's condition. However, avoid the 2-Tronic automated manual gearbox (expensive to maintain and unpleasant) as well as the rare and unnecessary 1.4 HDi diesel engine.
