2001 Peugeot 307 GLX review from UK and Ireland
"Feels as if it drives on square wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The ignition barrel had to be replaced under recall.
The manifold had to be replaced due to anti pollution fault.
The indicator switch had to be replaced, due to switching to left after a right hand turn.
The driver's seat creaks and feels slightly loose on its mountings.
There is a cracking noise from the front offside suspension, or steering, which has not been rectified.
There is a cracking noise from the rear nearside corner, which appears to come from either the suspension or somewhere inside the boot.
The car has an annoying fault in that when changing gears, the revs do not drop until after you have selected the next gear, and you can feel the engine spinning up through the clutch pedal.
The car is very unstable at speed, and on cornering. Touching white lines or cats eyes on the road throws the vehicle off course, and can be quite disconcerting.
General comments?
This is my third Peugeot, but I certainly won't buy another.
