MY PEUGEOT 107 5 DOOR IS GREAT!!


Changed my trusty old Nissan Almera GX because I had had it from new for 8 years and it had never let me down until 2 weeks ago when the battery gave up (now that's not bad after 8 years!) BUT I am 65 and thought it was time that I had a smaller more economical vehicle.



Did a lot of Internet research and asked around and saw exactly what I wanted at a local garage - one year old with only 2000 miles on the clock. I opted for FIVE doors as I do not like the very large doors on the 3 door model of any car. It is a very good car for its size, very nippy and accelerates a lot faster that I thought it would. It is very roomy, in fact surprisingly so and the boot is adequate for my needs - able to carry about 6 large bags of shopping; there is also PLENTY of LEG ROOM for the rear passengers. It is rather noisy after the larger Nissan but not unbearably so.

There is central locking which also locks and unlocks the boot which is manually opened from the rear.



Upholstery and carpeting is pretty good, kind of a plush grey velvety type with grey PVC trimming. The radio and CD player is good, better than I expected in the size of the car.

All around visibility IS rather compromised by the UN-adjustable headrest of the front passenger seat so you have to lean a little when reversing but otherwise it's OK.



The one real annoyance for me is that there is no REAL glove compartment - it is open so there is nowhere that you can put things out of sight. Things can be put under the front seats BUT only from the rear. However this is really a minor point and is outweighed by the fact that it does 65 mpg and the Road Tax is only £35 per annum instead of the £120 I paid for the Nissan. It also fits into much smaller spaces than the Nissan and is much easier to manoeuvre.

The Insurance is also very low because of the size
