I have had this car for 6 months now and I am still in love with it. It costs close to nothing to run day to day - with only £40 road tax it is a dream to have on any driveway. Soon to be a must-have cult car, and there's a good owners club to help anyone at www.107oc.com. If you are looking at getting one, stop - and just get one! Yes the car has a small boot but you can put the back seats down; I have never had anything that will not fit in it.

My wife and I have driven the 107 for the last four months. The good points: it's extremely economical to run even with today's petrol prices; it seems to runs on fresh air - we have made several long journeys and the fuel cost was just peanuts; also it only costs £40 a year to tax. I'm 6ft and did all the driving from Yorkshire to South Wales on a recent trip; the car is extremely comfortable for such a small car; the handling at 80mph was superb on the motorway. For the money it's a great little car. The downside: the boot is tiny and narrow and supermarket carrier bags full of shopping tend to become wedged against the parcel shelf and rear of boot and get torn to shreds. The front seats although extremely comfortable are a bit stiff to adjust; also the fabric on the passenger and driver's seat is bobbling and wearing after only four months - I have written to our local dealer about this. Although the steering is precise on roundabouts the car has a tendency to understeer but it's not a major problem. For me personally the only real negative point is that I'm used to looking over my shoulder to double-check oncoming traffic when coming onto the motorway off the slip road but visibility through the passenger side rear window is extremely poor although the wing mirrors are excellent. The stereo is pretty good, there is an mp3 socket, and tuning is a synch, but CD storage is a bit limited. The good points by far outweigh the negative and two fun features are the infectious little engine growl and the infra red control panel which glows at night. Overall verdict: a superb and economical little car that's a pleasure to drive.
