Peugeot 107


The Peugeot 107 is a city car produced by French automaker Peugeot, launched in June 2005, and produced through 2014.
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, the Aygo having more detail differences from the C1 and 107. All three were manufactured at the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech assembly joint venture in Kolín, Czech Republic.
The 107 is a four-seater available as a three or five door hatchback, replacing the 106, which ended production in July 2003. It shares its rear tail lights with the Citroën C1, but not the Toyota Aygo.

Facelifts

In February 2009, the Peugeot 107 received a facelift aligned with revisions to the Citroën C1 and the Toyota Aygo. Aesthetic changes included revised front bumper, interior and wheel trims. The front fascia received a wider grill.
The placement of the numberplate has been moved from the black strip in the middle of the grill to underneath the grill itself and two side vents have been added to give the car an updated look. The interior offered more seat fabric choices and revised centre console graphics.
The engine which now produces 106 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre opposed to 109 before and the Standard Combined Urban Cycle fuel economy has been improved from to.
In the beginning of 2012, the 107 received another facelift with revised bonnet and front bumper/grill with integrated daytime running lights. The interior received leather steering wheel, and a new gearknob on higher level trims. The official premiere of the facelift was in the Brussels Motor Show.

Reliability

Breakdown statistics reported by the German Automobile Club in May 2010 placed the Peugeot 107 at the top of the sub small car class, in respect of the low breakdown rates achieved for cars aged between 1 and 4 years. Class laggards were the Chevrolet Matiz and the two seater Smart.
In January 2010, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced that it was recalling "under 100,000 units" of the 107 and the Citroën C1, following the worldwide recall by Toyota for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal – which the Aygo is affected by. Under certain circumstances, the pedal can stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position.
