I'm thinking of buying a 307

One thing we like a lot: spacious interior, lots of luggage room.

Good points: steering, brake feel.

Mediocre points: it behaves more like a 8V than a typical 16V, which may
actually be good for every day use (the 1.4L, no direct experience with
the 1.6L). Build quality is average.

Bad points: the rear suspension is not comfortable enough for a Peugeot.

The bottom line: how lucky you get with its electronics. Ours has been
good to us so far. Others have spit blood over it. It is probably decent
value for money, especially when considering how pricey immediate
competition has got (see Golfs, Civics, Corolas, etc).

Just my 2c.

I have had my 53 plate 307 estate for six months now - it is a 1600cc petrol
model and i am over the moon with it - it never drops below 35 to the gallon
no matter how i drive it - i am a ford technician and drive fords and work
on them all day long - i would not touch any one of them with a barge poll -
so i suppose it`s each to his own - if you really want one don`t be put
off -go for it !

Still dithering, but I think a 307 would do me -
a nice 2.0 DTI GLX I think...

 

I have a 307 HDI FAP 2.0 16V.

3 weeks ago I had a problem with EGR valve and Peugeot hasn't the spare
parts. My car is under warranty and Peugeot Service is not able to tell me
when and if they will replace it.
Think what you want....
