2003 Peugeot 307 S review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent and easy going drivers car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On the first day my indicator stalk wouldn't reset to its normal position. I phoned the next day to book it in and then when I went up there on the Wednesday they hadn't even ordered the part so I am still waiting for that.
After five days the alternator had to be replaced, which was done overnight, so luckily was only without the car for a day.
General comments?
This car has adequate performance and is very comfortable to drive.
Being a diesel it has its sluggish moments but then the turbo kicks in at about 1500rpm it has a nice pull off.
Compared to my last car (a 1.2 Corsa) it is quick but not as quick off the mark, this is probably oweing to its much more noticable weight.
But overall when the car is on the move it is comfortable to drive and a pleasure to be in.
It is no real town car admittedly, and driving around in 4th gear becomes the norm, but being a diesel the economy comeback is good.
Having driven a 110 version I will have to say that in the higher revs there is not much between them, but the 110 is noticebly quicker off the mark.
Inside its very spacious and of high quality, to be honest a sheer luxuary.
There is loads of storage space and even a bin.
Overall its a pleasurable car, a dream to drive and enjoyable for all.
