Second-Hand Peugeot 1007
Used Peugeot 1007
The Peugeot 1007 was first released in the UK in May 2005 and production ended in 2009. The original range consisted of four engines and two choices of trim. The engines offered were a 1.4-litre HDi diesel unit and three petrol engines: 1.6, 1.4 16V and 1.4 8V. The trims offered were known as Dolce and the top-of-the-range Sport. In 2007 a 110 bhp 1.6-litre diesel engine was also added to the range.
What You Get
The used Peugeot 1007 came with innovative sliding doors, which could be opened either by using the remote control on the key fob or by using the handles. The sliding doors really help with narrow parking spaces as the opening doors protrude less than the width of a wing mirror. Another innovative feature of second-hand Peugeot 1007s is the Cameleo system, which is made up of no less than 12 differing trim kits comprising 18 matching parts. This means that the door cards, seat cushions, fascia, rear side panels and air vents can all be easily removed and swapped for another pattern or colour. The Peugeot 1007 range is packed with safety features including air bags from all directions, dynamic stability control and a warning buzzer to indicate when the rear passengers aren't buckled in correctly.
How it Drives
The used Peugeot 1007 offers decent handling, and its drive suits its urban orientation. It’s not the quickest or most exciting car in the world, but there’s still an element of fun to it. It’s a fairly heavy car, and this can be felt while you’re driving it as the overall ride will feel quite sluggish. However, it does have a small turning circle so manoeuvring tight spaces is a doddle. It’s a great option for families who want something reliable and reasonably priced.
