2002 Peugeot 307 Rapier review from UK and Ireland
"Nice cheap family car that can still be fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Indicator switch failed at 100 miles. Indicators still worked, but they would come on when cornering rather than going off.
Locking wheel nut key lost by dealer when new. Needed the wheels drilling off. Resolved quickly by dealer who offered me a hire car while mine was with them.
Strange problem where the electronics seem to 'reboot'. While driving the gages and instrument lights go off - the engine still works - only to come back about 1 second later. Dealer cannot reproduce. Has occurred about 5 times in 12000 miles.
General comments?
I do like driving this car. It handles well and the engine was plenty of torque.
Build quality over all is average. Dash is well lay-ed out, but door panels do rattle in hot weather.
Seat material is not practical with animals. The hair gets stuck and is a pain to remove.
External finish is good and the car looks the business when clean. No stone chips etc. after 12000 miles.
