About the Peugeot 107 CFA (384F),CFB (1KR)
The 107 excels in urban environments, with its light steering, compact dimensions, and good fuel consumption. The engine is a characterful 1.0-litre three-cylinder. While not particularly powerful, it's perfectly adequate for city driving. The biggest thing to consider is that, being a low-cost car, the interior has limited features; and being a three cylinder it can be prone to vibration. Regular servicing is key to prolonging the engine's life. Suspension components have been known to require replacement more frequently.
