1007

Jul 05, 2005 2 Replies

Just has a little sit and play in a 1007 (left hand drive). Very very nice. Feels as solid as a rock with loads of headroom and kneeroom for 4 adults. Cute design with interchangeable trim finish. My one had paddle shift gears! Boot very small though and I guess that the solid feel results in the car feeling heavy. Also a tad expensive at 10800GBP starting price tag.



But the star of the show had to be the sliding doors - I predict that in 15 years time most cars will have them they really transform how easy it is to get in and out. Well done Peugeot.


It's a car that will either be a great success or a complete flop, I reckon. You forgot to mention that it also recorded the best ever crash test score in the Euro NCAP crash tests.

If those doors start to develop faults, it'll get such a bad press, so I hope they've tested them properly and made them easy to fix. But I think most people will love the doors, even if they start to get impatient about how long it takes for them to open and close. Perhaps they'll introduce a cheaper one with manual doors, though there might be finger-trapping implications.

The Top Gear presenters' mothers didn't reckon much to it, but I wish it well. It's different and interesting.

Hi,

No miracle for the boot, a tiny car can't have a lot of "cargo" space ;-)

Pffffffffffffffffff ! Price starting around 13k EUR here.

Yeah, that *is* brilliant. Driving with 3-doors for a while, I assume it's a damn good thing, esp. in underground car parks. The electric driving of these doors seems to be a bit of a gizmo to me, a manual drive would have been nice, too and would have lowered the price (perhaps in a future, economic version - why not calling it a 1007 Junior ? :-) ).
