2001 Peugeot 307 Rapier review from UK and Ireland
"A good second hand bargain for £7,500"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Door handles stick in hot weather.
Boot doesn't always close properly.
Rattle coming from back. Later found it was the metal bars on the back seat catch release knocking together, wrapping some tape around solved the problem.
Loud clunking sound comes from front when on full lock.
When passengers in the back, mud flaps scrape on the ground when going over bumps in road.
General comments?
Good looking car, masses of room inside.
Lots of legroom front and back. My son is 6'6 and he fits in the back comfortably.
Perhaps I'm lucky after reading some of the other reports, but so far my 307 has been very reliable, with a few minor faults so far, (although it was recalled 3 times before I bought it).
