PEUGEOT 1007 test drive since 2007 hatchback

The desire to stand out

Peugeot 1007 begins with the platform. From the very one on which Citroen C2 grew up. Only the 1007th is one and a half tens of centimeters higher and wider than four (maximum) passenger landing, they cannot but notice this. Really comfortable.

Only the legs are not so many if a person was ahead of 180 ahead. We got the most democratic car with a 1.4-liter motor for the test. And he really deserves a diminutive suffix, since the 75-horsepower engine is clearly weak, especially if not only the driver is in the cabin. An interesting acceleration did not work: the behavior of the motor to boring is even, up to 3300 revolutions, when the limit of 118 Newton meters are achieved. At the peak of torque, the engine finally began to show signs of life. If we have turned on the radio, we would hardly hear these sounds, and check the engine for the subject. I would have had to be exclusively with the help of devices. But even without music, it was necessary to look at the tachometer otherwise it is very easy to twist the engine. Noise insulation test.

The first Peugeot with two zeros was equipped with a rather stiff suspension. Otherwise, compactwane with an inflated center of gravity would risk falling to one side or could easily lose controllability in steep and quick turns. The thousand seventh is almost not heated and demonstrates an understandable and honed reaction to driver’s actions.

Hard shock absorbers and springs that were coasted with thick stabilizers of the pure stability played a role here. True, there are also disadvantages: it was almost crawling through those lying police officers. It was worth increasing the speed a little, and the passengers received a characteristic blow to the fifth points.

But the smoothness of the course was not affected: there was no complaining about a discomfort riding even on a frozen bumpy country road. Simply, this is in the blood in the blood. Like the desire to stand out. Throughout the test, we were haunted by the interested views of other participants in the movement.

Some amused the appearance of a compact, but rather tall Peugeot, while others, as, for example, a cashier on a sink, were surprised that four adult men were able to fit in this tiny bun on wheels.

Smartphones are multifunctional and more than practical phones are many times cheaper than empty, but bright mobile phones, the so -called image -fibers, which are often bought for a handbag or a new scarf.
There is something toy in this machine, but at the same time the 1007th allows you to solve serious problems. For example, the task of creating a style for its owner

Compactwane with the door from the minibus and the design from Pininfarina is also going to take first of all with an image, and not running qualities. And a person who wants to purchase this car is most likely making his purchases impulsively without thinking about possible options for a long time.

Never say never. Remember such a movie? Why did I talk about him? Yes, because I met Peugeot 1007. When the first secret photos of this baby had just appeared, I thought that I would never buy such a car. A strange copy that is too obviously claiming exclusivity and stunning. The meeting with agent 007 shook my aggressive position. I'll try to explain why.

In front, from behind, from the side from all sides, this is an absolutely stylish car. The recognition of the brand is one hundred percent. First of all, thanks to the huge front, slanting headlights and rear lights, as well as the king of animals on the hood.

It is stupid to wait for a spacious salon of the 607th or even 307th series from this car. However, for four here is quite spacious. True, in this case you get a budget version of the trunk, which is designed for a maximum for a medium -sized suitcase and a sports bag. If you want more, drive the rear passengers on the street and use the vacant places. Then a couple of luggage will fit.

Just let me give one advice: those whose weight rolls over in a hundred, I recommend sitting forward. Still, it is inconvenient to plant a large-sized persons to land and landing, which is facilitated by medium sizes between two rows of seats, and the sliding door opens not as widely as we would like.

By the way, about the doors. They seemed heavy to me. That is, of course, they are automatically opened from the key fob, but what to do to the girl if her lover suddenly left, and she urgently needs to get into the seven salon. A good physical form and the presence of solid biceps will not interfere with it.

And yet, by and large, this is nit -picking. It is clear that basically this little joy is designed for girls. And their iron horses, as a rule, are refueling the service personnel of the gas station. Moreover, I am sure that the weaker sex does not particularly concern the running characteristics.
Although in 1007 they, let's say, are not disappointing. No rolls on corners and with sharp restructuring, the absence of any discomfort when hitting small holes. Seven for girls of extraordinary, who love to swim against the current. It is they who choose short skirts, when everyone wear long, dyes their hair red and turn to the young man of the guy.

Conclusion. PEUGEOT 1007 for them a bright compact car, quite convenient. Such a cheerful toy for the rich, for bohemia.
That's who with pleasure will lay out a lot of money for this originality, which, believe me, makes others envy. Now as for never. Perhaps my girlfriend would be delighted with such a gift on March 8th. I would say wow, which means agreeing.

He received the first unofficial information about the 1007th from a friend. He only arrived from France, where the novelty was no longer a curiosity, and said that, by the harsh, by local standards, the miracle trigger was frozen at Peugeot. And it was not possible to open it without mechanical damage.

I really don't know this or not. But I can confidently say that with the main chip of the new Frenchman, at first, anyone will have to suffer. Just out of habit.

Here are a couple of practical examples. You are sitting in the back seat, and the driver went out, closing the door. To open it, you need to throw back the back of the front chair and then, leaning over it, reach the button at the instrument panel, which is not easy. Another case: during the gas station, the driver's door will not open completely, a gun inserted into the neck of the tank interferes.

With sesame, haste is impossible in principle. They open and close elegantly and slowly. In general, the design for those who are not used to slamming the door, in every sense.

In general, the car is glorious. She is one of those that make her heads to wrap the heads after, and prove that to draw a large art. Squatience, oddly enough, at the level, four well -fed men are located in the cabin, not embarrassing each other. True, there is no way to sit here in five.
I did not like the landing in one. A person of medium height may not have enough adjustment in height. The dimensions of the car are lost, although the side windows give just an amazing review because the central stand is shifted far back!

Unable to compare, I will still assume the advantages of a 2-Tonic box over a conventional mechanical one. The car is really very easy to drive. And why complicate it, pulling the checkpoint selector all the more so since acceleration with a 75-horsepower engine with mechanics is still notable.

As a result, I caught myself thinking that I know several dozen people (mainly the fair sex), who would go with great pleasure to Peugeot 1007. But do not look at the price. This Frenchwoman has a lot of glamorous, bright, daring, and this is impossible to express in monetary equivalent. What is worth at least the opportunity to change the color of the cabin in a matter of minutes. The purchase of such a machine is guaranteed to accompany not so much practical considerations as emotions, sensations, feelings. For example, love. But she is priceless!

P.S. The test ends, we park the car, attentiveness is not the same. We attach in the parking lot between two cars, the engine is mocking and, without looking into the mirrors, press the door opening key. I immediately tremble at the thought that it will not do without scratches, the doors of neighboring cars are too close. And how nice it is to realize that nothing threatens you.
Design, you understand ...
