2001 Peugeot 307 Rapier 110 review from UK and Ireland
"A car you would be proud to own, even with the minor faults it may have"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Diesel filter blocked warning occurred twice.
General comments?
This car is a lot more responsive than the 306 XRDt I owned previously, the turbo boosts very low down in the rev range which makes it very responsive.
The engine is well worn in, since the car has covered 68000 miles.
The standard speakers are not particularly good quality, they distort quite badly with any level of bass.
Occasionally the car handles very nervously on the motorway, you feel like your constantly trying to keep it in the right lane. Then just as suddenly it seems to correct itself and returns to normal?!
The rear door handles do seem very stiff and awkward to open sometimes.
The interior trim does rattle quite a lot, and, even though I bought this car after 68000 miles, it rattles more than my previous 306 ever did, and that had done 170000 miles!!
On the whole though I really like the car. I love the styling.
I haven't owned it for that long, but I have owned a lot os good and bad cars and I know that this car is a good one...
