Hey everyone...

I thought I'd put this up here because although I'm fairly sure none of you own one of these you may have family/friends that do.

I'm looking to get any feedback about them? I know they are cheap and cheerful but that's not an issue.

Cheers,

Tim

We have a Pug 107 at work, practically the same car, and I don't rate them at all. The interior is bland, boring, minimal and the drive is just the same. If you want a cheap and cheerful car though, this ticks every box.

My sister drives a 107 and it's never let her down. Basic as fuck, but does the trick around town.

We use ours as a hire car, no one hired it when it had the gay red striped down the middle so I took them off and it goes out regular now, some french guy got caught doing 82 on the motorway in it last week so it's capable of decent speeds

Thanks for that, having a read about it now. There seems to be a few people reporting it, most from 35k miles upwards. The car would be gone before that point.

Thanks everyone else who has replied so far. Keep the feedback coming.

To be honest, I wouldn't even worry about that anyway. Its not really a huge job anyway. I've seen a couple at work and they seem ok for cheap and cheerful, nothing amazing but not bad.

I was driving one at work, pulled the bar to put my seat back and shot backwards, there was a horrible tiny noise and I actually feared I would shoot out the boot

On the plus they dont rev limit for ages

but if you consider that the pug 107, citroen c1 and toyota aygo are all the same car except cosmetic differences, it can't be that bad surely?
I've been passenger in an aygo and I was amazed at how nippy it was.

Had 2 107's as courtesy cars at peugeot when i worked there.

Surprised at how nippy they were, but they must be the most basic of cars inside lol

Get what you pay for. Don't go wheel spinning it everywhere or the clutch will go. Perfect if you want it for nipping about in the town and the odd short motorway journey.

Had a couple as courtesy cars and although they don't feel as solid as others, they are a great little car.
