| PERFORMANCE RATING: |
 |
The three-cylinder 1.0-litre engine may produce just 68bhp, but considering the 107's kerb weight of just 790-835Kg (dependent on configuration) it provides more than enough thrust. Indeed, with a 0-62mph time of 14.2secs and a top speed of around 100mph, the 107 should prove more than adequate for most drivers. 70lb ft may not sound like a great deal of torque for overtaking, but the maximum pulling power can be accessed 3600rpm so you don't have to over-rev the engine to make good progress.
We wouldn't recommend the 2-tronic automated manual gearbox to anybody unless they hold an automatic-only licence. The Toyota-sourced MMT transmission has jerky gearchanges and always feels out of its depth, even in fully automatic mode.
