2001 Peugeot 307 XSi review from Portugal
"A well balanced car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The little metal cap that covers the hole for the key of driver's door lock broke for no apparent reason, within 4 months. Dealer took 8 months to fix it.
A little buzz can be heard when dash is at approxiomately 2.600 RPM.
Turn indicators do not always function properly.
A message notifying me of Airbag malfunction appears everytime I start the car. Still waiting for the dealer to get it fixed.
General comments?
A very comfortable vehicle.
Amazing seats give good support to your body.
I find the car radio most satisfactory. Only once or twice did it jump a track, and the road was awful.
Handling not as emotional as with 306 but still very effective.
Performance is good, although fuel consumption can be high if you are not careful enough with your right foot.
Balancing pros and cons, I find it a good purchase.
