"Cheap bits of metal stuck together with super glue"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Indicator switch canceling too quickly.

Door trims fall off.

Drivers door will not unlock with remote control.

Drivers door leaking due to faulty membrane.

Radio loses stations.

CD player jumps tracks.

Recall for ignition.

Rear rattle.

Passenger door straps broke.

Inner door handle fascias fall off.

Badly worn clutch.

Badly fitted carpets.

Electrics fail intermittently.

Boot handle un-clips.

General comments?

Very disappointed with this car.

Most of the problems are unresolved.

Peugeot have bought the car back off us this week with a loss for ourselves.

Anyone needs to seriously think twice about buying a 307.

It might look a nice car, but too many problems that cannot be rectified.

Bought a Saab 9-5 this week Hooray!!!

Badly worn clutch is not actually the car's fault you know!

I think you're resting your foot on it for too long!

I own a 307xsi, and I'm very pleased with it. No such problems!!! A agree, you have been very unlucky with that car, and maybe not very kind with it...

I purchased a 307 1.6LX that was 8 months old from a main Peugeot Dealership. Since I purchased the car it has been returned 20 times due to a variety of issues including:

CD failure.

Gearbox Failure (still being resolved)

Carpet coming away in boot and interior.

Passenger door not opening.

Passenger door handle very stiff.

Noises from the front left suspension (5 times)

Leaking gearbox.

Damage from dealership whilst repairing x 2.

Door trim coming away.

Front wheel arch coming away x 3.

Leaking Head Gasket 3 times.

Oil gauge reading incorrect.

Indicator switch not cancelling.

Indicator replaced then snapped into two.

Indicator replaced and then signalled other way instead of cancelling.

These problems above are only, but a few of the many problems.

My car was very badly put together considering the low mileage on it and the problems that have surfaced.

I'm seeking to get rid of this car and purchase a replacement non-Peugeot.

I realise that out there somewhere there must be good Peugeot, but certainly not in my car there isn't.
