2002 Peugeot 307 XSE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Value for money with all the options you could want"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent fault with sunroof. Sunroof will not close whilst driving. Doesn't matter if sunroof is in slide back or pop up position. Upon trying to close the sunroof it will close, then revert to its original opened position. One interesting point was mentioned by service manager that around Australia, approx. nine models the same as mine, had been reported as faulty.
Very frustrating as I have been to two separate dealers and both have been unable to rectify the fault. The drive motor has been replaced, but still to no avail. I've completed a customer service survey and as yet have not had a reply or reason for the fault.
General comments?
The cornering ability is fantastic, It holds onto the road very well and has very little roll.
Fuel economy is impressive. The best that I have been able to achieve so far is 722 kms on a country drive and approx. 600 kms in city driving.
For the number of 307s sold here it would be nice to have the speedometer calibrated in increments of 20 not 30 km/h.
