Verdict:
If you are looking for a cheap, economical and very compact hatchback then the Peugeot 107 can be a good choice, it's fun to drive, very easy to park and has electrical power steering which is very impressive for such a small car created almost 2 decades ago. It is a good choice if you are young and looking for a first car. The vehicle being very light, the 1.0 vti engine offers very decent power especially in 1st and 2nd gear, however the engine is easy to stall so I recommend you the diesel HDI version if you are a beginner driver because it will be much harder to stall with that one.
The 3 pot also produces a distinctive roar, reminds me of the porsche 997 carrera sound and sounds better than a 4 cylinder in my opinion. The Peugeot 107, Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo share the same platform so they are almost identical vehicles.
