"Make sure you have your friend driving behind you so he can collect all the bits that fall off"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rattling noise from anti-roll bar since car was about a month old, took peugoet six attempts to find and repair.

Vibration at steering wheel since car was new, still not repaired.

Covers fell of engine, top and bottom, they have quick release pin to secure them, but they fell off, I suspect they were not tightened properly as they both fell of within a couple of weeks of a service.

Carpet coming away and fraying inside drivers foot-well.

Plastic clips fall of rear door handles when you try to open them.

Handbrake required adjustment after just one month, they will not repair this under warranty.

Electric blind covering panoramic roof broke.

Remote control for stereo works sometimes, stereo overheats if played at an audible level for more than one hour.

Indicator stem faulty, this was replaced.

General comments?

Seriously consider buying a skate board and a couple of huskies to get about on.

There is no aspect of driving this car that brings me pleasure, apart from the panoramic roof, till it broke.

It's comfortable, I've done 50000 miles in one year.

Plenty of room for stuff in the back if you take the seats out.

My experience with service department is very bad, never offered a courtesy car, which means I can't work when it's being fixed (most of the time).

I've had Peugeots before and they have been fantastic, 306 was a brilliant car. Shame the 307 is nothing like as good.

Nothing to do with review as such, however I have ordered a new 307 sw and have requested all round full tint windows, i am having second thoughts and would appreciate anybodys views on this, if relevant due to appearance the car will be in silver paint.

A colleague of mine who has the same model a 307 S 2004 registered has just had a recall notice to say that there is a problem with the mileage reading - apparently it seems that it is clocking up too many miles that it is actually doing. I only picked up my car 6 days ago - already it has clocked up 400 odd miles, which does seem rather peculiar as its only used for going back and forth to work. I only work 10 minutes away. Has anyone else had a recall notice?

I had this problem on an older 406. Sitting in a traffic jam one morning, something caught my eye, and I noticed a mile being added on to the odometer about every 5 seconds. I was not moving at the time.

It recorded a trip from Uxbridge Middx to North Wales as 2,500 miles! Tried putting that one through on the expenses, but strangely our company accountant was having none of it.

The dealer fitted a new instrument panel under warranty and all was well again.
