2003 Peugeot 307 110 DTurbo review from UK and Ireland
"Fully loaded car, lacks its predecessors reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers door dropped and did not close properly.
--------------------------
The off side mirror intermittently did not move back out when wet.
--------------------------------
Boot opening mechanism was unreliable which lead to it being unable to open the boot at times.
---------------------------------
Very bad radio reception, CD player jumps, skips, and crackles through tracks.
--------------------------
Leather keeps coming off the rear of the passenger front seat.
--------------------------------
The driver's foot well carpet keeps coming away from the door trim.
----------------------------------
The studs to hold the driver's mat in place come out and on two occasions the mat slid forward and jammed the accelerator pedal down on full revs.
-----------------------------------
Both doors are not aliened properly
-----------------------------------
The Dealer had left hard lumps wax all over the car when delivered.
-----------------------------------
The indicators cancel to quick one way and don't cancel the other, I have not figured out which way.
General comments?
I have had three Peugeot's, two 306's both D Turbo's and this 307 D Turbo, both my 306's were very reliable cars. The 307 is a very nice car which is fully loaded with all the gadgets, some of which you don't even see on top of the range cars like BMW or Audi, it's just such a shame that it lacks its predecessors reliability. The most annoying thing about the faults is the trailing back and forward to the garage. Most of the faults have been attended to, but return.
