No Budget Reviews: 2013 Peugeot 107 1.0 Active - Lloyd Vehicle Consulting (Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo)

[@richardhowlett9424]

Great review, Sir . Excellent little cars, I really like the shear honesty of them , doesn’t pretend to be anything it isn’t.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, they designed them to appeal to a certain type of customer, and they certainly succeeded.

[@petersimpson5859]

I've owned a 58 Aygo Platinum for a couple of years and it still makes me smile. Added some sound deadening and it really improved things. They drive like a half scale hot hatch and can be parked in hilariously small gaps.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I suppose these cars are closest in spirit to the really basic things that were around in the late 1980s and 1990s. I am a big fan of Austin and MG Metros, for example.

[@JoJanDiezel]

Bought few days ago the same car, what did you do to improve sound inside the cabin?

[@petersimpson5859]

@@JoJanDiezel dynamat or similar inside the doors, on floor panels and in the boot. Foam sheets inside the door trims too. Front subframe brace improves steering and ride a lot too. Switched from 155/65 to 165/60 tyres for a little more footprint.

I own the Citreon C1 as a second car little runaround .Absolutely love it.Basic cheap and surprising fun to drive.I will pass it on to my daughter when she passes her driving test.It's an ideal first car.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I personally prefer the MG3 we used to have (it was in the second video ever on the channel), but given these cost so little to run, and are so easy to park, I can see why people like them.

[@alaricbragg7843]

Thank you for this video. I had absolutely no idea of this car existing, or of any shared model between Toyota, Peugeot and Citroen. It almost goes back to an age when all three makes thrived on producing simple little cars like this!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, they have collaborated on a number of cars and vans since the mid-2000s.

[@droge192]

Where have you been?? These models have been all over the roads since 2005.

[@alaricbragg7843]

@@droge192 In New Zealand, where we have different models. Also I lost track of car make news around then.

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Brilliant little review Sir, my mate with the Micra 160SR and Impul March had three of the Aygo Version, never let him down and he quite liked them for just commuting to work and back. I actually considered the C1 many years ago to replace my unrealible K12 Micra but plumped for a Focus Instead.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, people probably swear by these, they are stupidly cheap to run. Not quite my sort of thing, but I can understand the appeal of them. For a daily trip of only a few miles, I am sure that one of these would fine.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

Mechanically these cars are bulletproof with basic maintenance, my 2007 aygo has done 130k miles and is totally solid, the main thing that can go is bodywork rust under sillls / back wheel arches 🙏

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Yes, a common problem on those. Other things are very cheap to fix on the whole. My mechanic once did a clutch on a C1 in 14 minutes.

[@teamJJontour]

Good Evening Sir, I always liked the five door. A masterpiece of design how they managed to blend the rear doors into the rear frame of the car. Excellent video Sir!!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Been after one of these for years, sir, and finally got one for review! They worked hard on this car, and they still seem to be quite popular.

[@alaricbragg7843]

Back hatch reminds me of those of the late 70s - early 80s Talbot hatches. Retro cool, perhaps?

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I think that it may have just been a cost saving measure as opposed to a reference to the Chrysler/Talbot Sunbeam.

[@alistairrobinson3865]

“Tolerable on the motorway”. Definitely, I drove mine to Italy and back from Netherlands 😂

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

You must have a lot more stamina than me!

[@hojo9115]

Just found your channel and i enjoyed this review its informative and honest and because i might be looking to change my old car shortly this or the c1 might suit my needs

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

There is a lot of choice out there, and so this is not the only alternative by any means, but they have become really popular these days. That keeps prices relatively high, especially for the dreadful robotised manual gearbox versions, which I had the misfortune of trying in December... Welcome to the world of No Budget Reviews!

[@seancooke7332]

Good little car. Light, easy to park and enjoyable to drive. Buying new I would always go for a Kia Picanto or Suzuki Celerio which are both much more accommodating and useful with winding rear windows. Buying used the 107, C1 and Aygo make much more sense. The interior is nice though. The later 2019 or later versions are much better cars.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

They aren't especially nice to drive (there is not much sound deadening, and I don't particular like the gearchange), but these are so cheap to insure, so inexpensive to service and so economical that it would be silly to overlook these as a cost-effective used car, especially as a first or second car.

[@EA-58]

Still love mine .... C1 with 230.000 km's

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Thank you very much indeed for watching and commenting!

[@NathanShaw-ws8ku]

this is by far my favourite car, gonna buy an automatic variant!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Do not buy the automatic variant, it is absolutely terrible.

[@mattw8332]

I like those modular looking electric window pods. Can't believe Peugeot (and Citroen) actually bothered with 'forbidden fuel' versions of these. 🤨 It's already an economical car!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

It was the fashion back in the day, sir. At least we don't actually have to discuss them on the channel these days!

[@jennydonne8946]

There was a forbidden fuel version available on the C1 or Aygo but not in the 107, Personally it was pointless, less horsepower, not much gain in economy, no benefits in road tax, still £20. It was a PSA 1.4 4 cylinder unit, it's probably heavier than the Toyota unit.

[@jennydonne8946]

If I'm correct, the diesel only had 55hp so more reason to avoid it

[@johnmccrae1102]

I have the Peugeot 107 ,its bomb proof,rhe cheapest car to run ,but we love it .I like parking it by range rover gas guzzlers

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

I think that these have one of the easiest clutches to change of any car sold over here from memory....

[@alistairrobinson3865]

You can definitely go camping, I have a series 1 aygo and you can easily put the rear seats down and use like a pickup truck!!😂 Great cars, good review!! 🙏

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Glad you enjoyed the video! You must be better at packing light than me.

[@grahambonnet3601]

Great little car. I've got a 62 plate with 41k on the clock. Only use it to tow behind my motorhome. Don't even know it's there. Ideal little run around as all my journeys are short distance. Very economical too. Only filled it up twice in 2 years, and £0 road tax!

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

They do seem to be popular as tow vehicles behind motor homes, don't they? Thank you ever so much indeed for watching and commenting!

[@droge192]

I have a 2011 Citroen C1 VT. Absolute bottom of the range! Not even electric windows in the front. Windey "keep fit" windows. No RPM gauge. Oddly, it does have Aircon. Must have been bought as an extra. I love the car all the more for it's simplicity. In fact, I would have preferred it without power steering, as the steering gets very light at high speed. Early 2005-2006 base models had no power steering. Cracking little cars. Drives like new. Loud but great handling and 60mpg.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

We have a C1 and a 108 coming up on the channel soon, as I filmed the videos at the same location last month... One is 2016, the other a 2018. These little cars are having something of a renaissance at the moment, as they seem to fit the mood of the moment, it would appear. Thank you very much indeed indeed for watching and commenting!

[@tonyworrall1962]

Hi , great reviews as always but I would like to point out that just because a car is in a low insurance group doesn't mean it will be cheap to insure, all the companies will class the risk on a car going by the number of claims. all reviews make this mistake, I Currently drive a 1250cc fiesta and looked at changing to an aygo but insurance would have been £130 a year more, it was also more expensive for the C1 at around £100 more. People need to do an insurance check before buying a particular car and not go by groupings to avoid any nasty surprises.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The worst one is the Corsa, which can be very expensive to insure because so many of them are owned by first time drives, who tend to get involved in a fair few accidents, sadly.

[@user-cu6eq9rh4l]

Good little cars , always a good seller .

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

It sold within a few days of this video, after it had been properly valeted!

[@RAMANOFFICIAL1]

Aygo c1 107 are wicked cars ❤

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

Got a C1 and a 108 coming up on the channel soon too...

[@christineayres7199]

I was looking at one of these as only £2 grand for one on autotrader with 70K on the clock and from what someone told me the engines are bulletproof in these the C1 and Aygos , just got to be careful of the clutch as they go on them often.

[@lloydvehicleconsulting]

The clutches actually aren't that expensive if they do go, but clearly it is best to get one with a clutch that works. The engines do tend to quite reliable, but they can go wrong if they are neglected and/or have done very high mileage.

[@christineayres7199]

@gumbo7215 Ah but if that's true how come my 2007 Colt which has now done 130, thousand miles is still on original clutch and not slipping? I think Its a combination of quality parts as it has a Sachs clutch kit and also not riding the clutch etc

[@asensibleyoungman2978]

@@christineayres7199 Most clutches are designed to last 60k and then be replaced.

[@christineayres7199]

@@asensibleyoungman2978 As I said mines original on 130 thousand it just proves if you have quality parts they last longer , Diesel clutches can last even longer I used to own a turbo diesel Astra from 2003 it did 254 thousand miles on original clutch

i was really looking for 107, Citroen c1, Toyota Aygo, same 1.0L Engine, same chassis, basicly same car but they all real cheap materials, vibrations etc i'm not fan, for the same price range you can get VW UP 1.0 Mpi wich proved to be bulletproof 3Cylinder and i seen some can reach 400'000km with that original blok, more cumfy, materials, more economic, cumfy, i dont see why waiste time with these cars unless you dont find an VW up, 107,citroen c1, aygo will all rust like metalic shoes..

Under 1k?? I just bought this for 6! :/
