VALUE-PRICED CAR INSURANCE FROM THE COMPANIES YOU CAN TRUST!

The 1007 Revitalises Peugeots Reputation As A Manufacturer Of Innovative And Fun Small Cars. Andy Enright Reports
I must admit there was a pang of sorrow when Peugeot canned the 106. This livewire hatch was the last remaining link to old Peugeot, the company that brought us hedge- seeking missiles like the 205 GTi 1.9 and its ilk. New Peugeot was an altogether more grown up proposition but I couldnt help feel that much of the personality had been drained from the company.
The good news is that the attitude and sense of adventure seems to be back. The 207 is anything but bland and the 1007 citycar doesnt make any attempt whatsoever to follow the herd. The sliding side doors are only the first conversation starter. The 1007 has a lot more up its sleeve.
Lets consider those bizarre doors first. The chunky fridge-style doorhandles are tucked just under the door mirrors but a press on the remote control key fob is enough to send the doors sliding aft. Their progress can best be described as leisurely, so youll need a decent battery in the remote if the doors are to be fully open by the time you arrive at the car. Despite initial impressions, the doors dont extend beyond the length of the vehicle, so you can safely reverse close to a wall or another car without fear of damage.
In tight multi storey car parks these Open Sesame doors are very useful indeed. Side clearance shouldnt be an issue as the doors are designed to jut out less than the width of the fixed door mirrors. These doors are also an important safety feature as any cyclist who has had a car door opened into their path will attest. The doors also feature an anti-pinch system that detects if theyre closing onto something and instantly reverses the action.
Measuring just 1686mm wide, the 1007, priced from 10,850, is the best part of a foot narrower than a MINI, so parking should be a doddle. Lengthwise, it measures just 3731mm, making it about 11cm longer than a Ford Ka. The door pillar is, rather unusually, curved in profile which means that as long as the front seat passenger doesnt have his or her seat slid fully back, slim-hipped passengers will be able to slide into the back without tilting the front seat forwards. Now for the 1007s next trick.
The so-called Cameleo system consists of twelve different trim kits that comprise eighteen colour matched parts. The seat cushions, door cards, rear side panels, air vents and fascia can all be removed and changed for another colour or pattern. This exchange requires no tools, can be completed within fifteen minutes and would make a fun Christmas present for any 1007 owner. If you get bored with Trimix Silver you can easily snap in some Trimix Red detailing instead.
No doubt a booming trade in kit swapping will spring up on the internet!
"If youre bored with the colour scheme of your 1007s interior, its the work of 15 minutes to give it a fresh look"
The good ideas dont stop there. Not content to offer a normal citycar seating system, Peugeot have instead adopted a whole bunch of MPV-style tricks. The key to this is two independent rear seats with seat backs that can be folded against the cushion. Both seats slide back and forth so that either passenger space or luggage room can be optimised, although if youre after both youre in the wrong sector of the market.
Folded forwards, the rear seats feature a sturdy work surface. The front passenger seats can also fold forward to flat, so that its possible to transport the occasional long object of up to 212cm in length. The fascia design itself is, after all of this innovation, surprisingly conventional. Chrome-ringed overlapping dials feature in a binnacle that seems a step on in terms of quality from the small Peugeots we grew up with.
