How Does The Peugeot 107 Compare?

When Peugeot launched the 107 back in 2005 it, along with the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo, became a top seller.

At the time there wasn't much serious competition. Many of the super-minis were super-sizing from about 3.75m to near 4m. The only contender was the Chevrolet Matiz which is now due for replacement.

However today there's more choice in the city size market. The value Kia Picanto and Hyundai i10 have risen in popularity. Plus the Fiat 500 and Ford Ka have been launched.

This is all good news for car buyers in this sector. Chevrolet have been deeply discounting the ageing Matiz while Kia and Hyundai provide you with your next best negotiable alternative.

If you are considering this type of car don't mention any interest - if you have any - in a Fiat 500 because competing dealers know there's a waiting list and buyers are paying full money, so the 500 isn't a negotiating tool.

You can make comparisons for yourself at Peugeot 107 Car Comparison Charts. The 107 is a great city car with more street cred' than the value brands but I have to say the buzz is about the 500 which is 5-star Euro NCAP rated.
