It was to do with the fact Daewoo nearly went tits up about 7 or 8 years back. Basically they thought they'd do a Volkswagen and buy an Eastern Bloc company (FSO the one in question this time, makers of the Polish Polonez car). Ended up not doing their best and owing many a Zloty left right and centre.

I would have seen the first car as a bonus, huge discount potential, and probably not too major. but if your shopping sub 1k then that could be different...

get yourself a nice motor lee, you'll never look back. get a nice s6 for 20k nowadays

what happened to the 1007?

s6 are lovely motors or you could man up and get an rs6 shame they only do most of them in estates,treat yaself too a nice audi tdi will run fairly cheap n looks the part

Get a BMW Audi or voltswagon cant go wrong, diesels r great cheap on fuel car tax and insurance my 120 d msport is 177bhp and will blow loads of cars away, raced my mate in his pug 206 gti he lost by a mile. U can get new cars remapped fo extra bhp and better fuel comsumption, mine would go upto 212 bhp I was just a bit worried about the warranty so didn't bother.

ahh , the 1007 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, where do i start ?

i initially thought what a great economical diesel car this would be .

but it soon became apparent that it was guzzleling fuel at double the rate i thought it would .

so reading spec's and reviews online ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,( something admittedly i should have done beforehand )

turns out the reason its so fuel intensive , is because of the admittedly snazzy sliding electric door mechanisms , .............. the weight of the car is astronomical because of them .

one reviewer said , even when driving alone , you are already carrying the weight of two full grown adults extra to yourself .

then their were hundreds of owner reviews , a lot of em stating that the door mechanisms develop a common fault ,,,,,, and that its stupidly expensive to get them fixed.

now i know if you look for the bad on these type of sites your gonna find common faults with every car.

but having had peugeots before i can confirm ,,,,,,,, that official peugeot parts are indeed an expensive joke ,,,,,,,,,,,,, when it came time to sell my 107 (had it from 6month old ) at 3 years old ,,,,,,,,,,, a new ( peugeot branded) clutch cost £575 before fitting. and i shopped around .

so i sold the 1007 before giving it slotters mileage ,,,,,,,,,,,, and tempting fate with over excessive door use.

shame i like peugeot as a brand , but when things go wrong ,,,,,,,,,,, its empty wallet time.
