Rental Car Review : Peugeot 107 Allure
The Peugeot 107 is a city car produced by French automaker Peugeot and launched in June 2005.
The 107 was developed by the B-Zero project of PSA Peugeot Citroën in a joint-venture with Toyota; the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo are badge engineered versions of the same car, although the Aygo has more detail differences than the C1. All three are built at the new facilities of the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech joint-venture in the city of Kolin, Czech Republic. It is a four-seater available as a three- or five-door hatchback. The 107 replaces the 106, which ceased production at the end of 2003 after 12 years.
After a string of larger and much more sophisticated cars, this little car was refreshing. It was small and it was basic but still features such as electric windows (but if you want to open the passengers window you have to lean over and press the button on the passengers door!) and Air Conditioning (needs to be turned off if more power is required, for example on a motorway climb).
Mileage driven: 281.5
Average MPG: Unknown (no onboard calculation, and I haven't got round to comparing miles versus how much fuel it used - i.e. the old school way).
Likes: Basic, easy to drive, 1 step from the drivers door and you are at the rear hatch, short, easy to park, very willing 1.0 litre 3 cylinder Petrol engine, £0 Vehicle Excise Duty (AKA tax disc) due to CO₂ Emissions being 99 g/km, ability to cruise in excess of the national speed limit.
Dislikes: Flimsy in certain areas of trim and bodywork. No character unlike the FIAT 500 for example, I found the ride tiring on this occasion (I have rented one before and found it OK).
The general gearing on the 107 is quite high, I was constantly surprised at how high the road speed could be in each gear. And how far down you could change down - this was required to keep the little engine working hard.

And yes, the regularly parked across two spaces Kia Picanto has gone! The owner has replaced it with a FIAT Panda. They work at Burtonwood Services.
