The 1007 is not a cheap runabout, but the list of standard equipment is generous so it looks better value when you consider what you are getting. The fact that it is a little on the heavy side means it won’t be as economical as the some small cars but it’s not bad and there is a diesel option. Insurance groups vary between 3 and 5.

The 1007 is a fairly environmentally friendly model with average emissions of 146g/km CO2 across the line-up. Eco-conscious buyers should consider the 1.4-litre diesel, which is one of the greenest models in the range, with emissions of just 124g/km of CO2. The range is impressively frugal, averaging 47 mpg.

Despite being packed with technology (not to mention the complicated doors), no serious problems have yet arisen.
