2006 Peugeot 307 SE SW review from UK and Ireland

30000 rear wheel hub and bearing replaced.

So many sets of tyres, approx 8 sets so far.

Climate control makes a strange noise.

Steering problems, shakes at motorway speeds.

My 307 SE SW has covered 131000 in two and a half years. I'm now on my 8th set of tires, and ever since the first change at 24000 miles, the car has felt horrible!

If I take my car to a dealer, they say it's poor tire fitting. If I take it to National Tires (who I can only take it to under the lease.) I get pointed back to the dealer... and so on... I also get vibrations at around 70-80 mph from the wheel and very poor life out of the rear n/s.

It's a shame because the cars design and engine are both great, spec level is also above what I normal expect from a company car, and it has also never totally let me down.

It's a real shame that something like this can damage the experience of owning a car from a manufacturer so much, so that you would not buy or recommend any of their vehicles again... anyway only six months and approx 35000 miles to go until I get shot of it!!

I don't believe I choose this car over the Skoda Octavia and Vauxhall Astra Estates!!!
