Summary
What does this car say about you?
Looking for cheaper everyday motoring not.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Bugger to get into 3 door rear seats especially for elderly. I added a sunroof and thought the rev counter was stupid looking so went without.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No due silence about clutch problems by Peugeot and Toyota. So I am also querying Toyotas reliability too.
What are you likely to buy next?
Recently bought SEAT EcoMotive. Seems v good so far. Would have looked at a Toyota except for their name being all over the 107 clutch and silence on the matter i.e. it cost me £410 to replace after only 37K miles.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Clutch just cost me £410 to replace. Have looked at various websites and IT IS A PROBLEM. It may have been a Toyota clutch but its still crap having packed up after just 37000 miles when mechanic says they should last over 100K. V keen to look for new car and VERY unlikely to risk Peugeot again until Peugeot acknowledge there is a problem and they have resolved it. VERY annoyed at the silence on this issue!!
What's most practical about your car?
Very low road tax and fairly good mpg at 50.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Seats can go down easily to add space which is useful with a small car.
