The Verve is a top of the range special edition of the Peugeot 107 which has air-con, 14in alloy wheels and a rev counter in
addition to the usual kit of the Urban.

It’s a great runabout, cheap to insure, tax and run, and in five-door guise is an ideal second car for families.

The three-cylinder engine is extremely efficient and happy to be worked hard so buyers won’t be restricted to the city streets.

The car gained 4 stars for occupant safety in EuroNCAP tests. A mid-life refresh this year saw 107 gain a new front end, which helps to keep the car looking fresh and funky.
