Peugeot 307 Hatchback 1.6 SE 16V 5d (AC) (2003/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Looks good on the outside, but i've lost count of the bits that have fallen off or broken. Expensive for the actual content of the car.
Costs
I have had better fuel performance from a 1.8, which wouldn't be so bad except the performance of the enginge was better as well.

On the road
Driving
Ok, not the best feedback from the steering. Understeer can be a bit scary in unexpected situations, especially when wet.
Performance
Lively enough engine when pushed, but has a habit of cutting out when pulling off unless you give it some stick. Don't count on any torque below 3000rpm. Gears seem to have good days and bad days.

Living with it
Reliability
Repeated engine management problems, sporadic, cutting out when puling off is dangerous. Leaks on radiator, engine and gearbox. Lots more

Ok
Comfort
Anyone with back problems should avoid this car like the plague, no adjustable lumbar support. If you spend more than 2-3hours a day driving it would be a good idea to change the seat. Not broad enough if your a man (and I'm not a big bloke). Cramped foot

Security and Service
Security
Ok, no problems with it yet. Can't find out how to lock the car when inside though.
Service
Pathetic. Lie about problems, don't call, parts ordering is a joke.
