2002 Peugeot 307 Rapier review from UK and Ireland
"Comfortable family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At idle the engine was a little rough. Fixed with a software upgrade.
Radio tuning itself to other stations. Fixed by dealer by creating a better earth.
Service indicator decreasing in 100's of miles. Still does, but the dealer said they'd fixed it.
Lights failed to come on for about 30seconds after switching.
Rattle from the passenger seat belt when no tension is on the mechanism.
Rattle from the exhaust at 2600rpm.
General comments?
Although there have been a few faults, all of which are minor really, I think the 307 is a great car.
The seats are comfortable, and the driving position suitable from the smallest to the tallest person.
For a 1.6, there is plenty power when needed, although I think a 1.8 would have been a better choice from Peugeot.
The breaking is astounding - often you just rest your foot on the break pedal rather than having to press it.
