2005 Peugeot 307 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"Wish I had never bothered with it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New Turbo Charger at 1000 miles.
New engine management system at 2500 miles.
Cruise control fails to cut out when needed to.
Throttle action jerky and unresponsive.
Radio jumps from one station to the next, and apparently if it doesn't like the channel, it switches on the CD changer, which then usually doesn't work after about 5 minutes.
CD changer damages CD's whilst loading them.
New EGR valve fitted.
New CD changer, Sat Nav unit, and display screen fitted.
Fuel consumption has never been better than 32.1 to the gallon, depite the official figures being over 60mpg. I would at least expect 40-45 on a decent run.
Another new engine management system at 8000 miles. Also yet another attempt at fixing all the various electrical problems affecting the CD/Sat Nav/Telematics package, to no avail.
Fuel consumption getting worse, and the performance for a 136HP car is appalling, no power, feels more like a 90hp engine.
Automatic headlight system failed, lights stuck on permanently now.
Rain sensor would not know water if you stuck it in a bucket of the stuff, which means the auto wipers also don't work now.
On occasion, the car simply will not start, like a dead battery, only everything else works, just not the engine/starter. Great for confidence when away from home.
General comments?
This car is seriously flawed in ALL respects.
Thank God for warranties.
Car is comfortable, which is good whilst you are awaiting the arrival of the AA/RAC tow truck.
Boot is a good size.
Interior trim (Leather) cleans up well.
