Peugeot 107 - reviews are positive and persuade skeptics

The company Peugeot is engaged in the production of coffee grinders and other small items useful in the economy since 1840. At the end of the 19th century, they produced very interesting bicycles, including a three-wheeled steam car. At the beginning of the 21st century the company started developing and producing another useful detail: an economical and high-quality city mini-car with the least amount of harmful emissions into the atmosphere. Truthfully, it should be noted that they engaged in this together with their long-time partner, another French company, Citroen, as well as Toyota, the world's largest Japanese car manufacturer. The initiative was named B0 and is an example of the largest cross-platform project of several automakers. The result of it was the development and production of three models of cars: Peugeot 107, Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, which use a unified chassis, a common engine line, front doors and other body parts. The main difference of Peugeot 107 from other cars in this trio is that such a car is officially sold in Russia and CIS countries.

According to the concept of the city car according to Peugeot 107, the technical characteristics of it are subject to three main tasks: minimum emissions of harmful substances, maximum parking capacity, better maneuverability and controllability in urban traffic. The engine of this car is three-cylinder, one-liter, with a chain in the timing mechanism. It has a capacity of 68 hp, consumes 4.3 liters per 100 km according to the passport. When working with a five-speed manual transmission, it emits into the atmosphere no more than 100 g / km of CO2.

As for the real Peugeot 107 emissions and consumption figures, the feedback from owners from Russia and the CIS countries does not contain data on the verification of CO2 emissions. But at the expense of gasoline is monitored by everyone. Data on the real fuel consumption along the highway from owners almost coincide with the passport ones - it is 4.5 liters per 100 km, and in the city - 6.2-7.3 liters, depending on the car, the owner, the time of the year and the style of driving. With regard to the dynamics and the severity of the motor in the Peugeot 107, the reviews unequivocally indicate an unexpected quickness and good high-speed qualities, even with a fully loaded car. By the way, the car is unproblematically started and in the most severe frost to -32 degrees.

If the Peugeot 107 car is bought by men, then the manual transmission is preferred. Ladies also love automation and are especially easy to manage robotic boxes. However, prolonged use of the latter, especially in severe road conditions, according to responses, often leads to failure of the clutch.

With regard to the maneuverability and handling of the Peugeot 107, the reviews contain almost continuous enthusiasm. And, this concerns not only the ability of the car suspension to work out small irregularities in the city, but also "tenacity" to the road of the car when overtaking on the track. Some owners distinguish Peugeot 107 ability to be moderately managed off-road due to the optimized wheelbase, high wheel arches and good front and rear overhangs. However, the front bumper and the low-fixing front number are provoked, which is easy to lose. Users are also dissatisfied with the lack of protection for wheel arches turning a trip over sand and gravel into a kind of drumbeat.

With regard to the ergonomics of the Peugeot 107 interior, the reviews are full of admiration. The external impression of the small size of the car contrasts with the spaciousness and convenience of the cabin. The interior design of the car is also like almost all the owners, especially the girls. Complaints cause: poor visibility of the internal mirror, distracting glare of the torpedo in the windshield, short back janitor.

In general, reviews about Peugeot 107 are very positive. They refute the legend that has moved to us from America that a good car is a big car. Drivers-women often complain that their men are constantly, under any pretext, they "take" Peugeot 107 from them for various trips.
