2002 Peugeot 307 XS Permium review from Hong Kong
"There is no better hatchback of this size. the Golf is too old"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox lock failed on the third day I had the car, towed away and fixed on the next day.
Sometimes the engine won't start first time.
General comments?
Performance is better than I have expected.
Handling is good, nicely weighted steering wheel with lots of feedback.
Interior is well designed and has a quality feel. Nothing rattles yet.
Having heard that most of the 307 has lots of problem however, the build quality of mine one is OK despite of the 2 problems I mentioned above (My E36 BMW had even more problems so Peugeot isn't that bad)
The windscreen wipers was designed for left hand drive cars so it leaves a big area on the right-end windscreen un-wiped, together with the big A-pillars, I couldn't see anything on rainy days.
