Faults:

Ignition switch had to be replaced as erratic starting and total failure when going around a bend, with associated failure of power steering assistance and brake assistance. We were not told of any recall at any stage.

Carpet in drivers side front foot well does not fit properly and keeps popping out.

Gear changing seemed to be only at excessively high revs and this was cured after the software was reprogrammed.

General Comments:

The performance is adequate, although the engine is a bit rough at mid to high revs.

Comfort and handling are very good.

Space is good for the overall size of the car.

In Australia, the specifications are excellent, with airbags, climate control, trip meter, ABS, etc etc.

Faults:

Delivered without floor mats which were part of standard spec.

Indicator switch auto-cancels too quickly and dangerously easy to hit main beam in the struggle to keep it on. Replaced, but still faulty to some extent.

Knocking noise - dealer has replaced most parts, but noise still apparent at times.

Failure of wipers on high speed in heavy rain - when taken to dealer no fault found. Again dangerous.

Failure of electronics, speedo, revs, air conditioning, radio for 1-2 seconds. Trip counter cycling through random numbers. No fault found, but software update done.

Recall for ignition switch.

General Comments:

Nice looking car, but very disappointed with the number of faults and the lack of customer service from Peugeot UK.

Difficult to see front corners of car.

Faults:

Indicator switch had to be replaced.

Ignition lock replaced (recall)

Driver footwell carpet coming away.

Rear passenger door bump strip replaced (fell off!)

Boot lock replaced.

Boot carpet remoulded to fit rubber seal.

Near side front wheel arch liner replaced.

Front passenger seat back awaiting replacement.

General Comments:

Although the car drives pretty well, I guess from the list of faults you can come to the conclusion that it has appalling build quality. After only 5000 miles the car is falling apart. The dealer simply could not give a toss, and is quite happy to see me once every few weeks and get paid for carrying out repairs. This is not an isolated occurrence as I have had other 307 owners, complete strangers, approach me in the street when they see me parking up and ask me if I have been having any problems. Almost everyone has the same carpet/indicators/body work faults as I have described above.
