2002 Peugeot 307 SW SE review from UK and Ireland
"Wait until they have sorted out the electrics before buying one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 500 miles it reported a fault with the ESP system. This then went away and was replaced a few days later with a reported fault with the Catalytic Converter AND the ESP.
The garage had no idea how to fix this and after a week of replacing various components they returned the car.
2 weeks later the same faults re-appear
Once again the car is in the Garage for a week with little progress. Finally the car is reported to be working, but when I went to collect it it was making a very bad rattling and popping sound.
I rejected the car, and after a week the dealer agreed to refund my money.
General comments?
It would appear that there is some very serious electrical problems that need to be resolved with the 307 (and SW). Having read other reviews and spoken to other owners there are far too many intermittent electrical problems that the garages cannot fix with any degree of certainty.
It is a shame as the 2.0SE model is an excellent drive, the glass roof is wonderful and the seating is incredibly flexible.
Perhaps once the fundamental electrical problems have been resolved this could be an great car.
