2002 Peugeot 307 XS review from Hungary
"The drive of my life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New starter motor at 700 km.
Major oil leaked after 1100 km.
Since 300 km the centre console rattles.
Carpet was peeling away from the foot-well on both side.
Tail light leak in heavy rain.
Sometimes the instruments and the lights shut down for a little time.
Light sensor switch off too late or never.
Sometimes the rain sensor does not switch on.
Passenger's door and the back doors rattle.
During driving doors lock themselves.
Rattling noises from the suspension at 2200 RPM.
Most of the problems were fixed under warranty.
General comments?
The 307 is a beautiful car, very safe on the road.
The car is very comfortable and has a good handling and a lot of space.
The air condition is really great. It's great to drive.
I can live with these minor problems. For the worst case I have my old car (11 year old) and the Peugeot Assistance is quite quick and very friendly.
I would highly recommend this car - everybody.
