Peugeot 307 2.0 HDi

I had this car from new but did not buy it myself as it was a company car and rented from Peugeot. It was a 52 (October 2002) registration and I had it the full 3 years of the lease and I was the main driver with my partner driving it occasionally. This review is based on the fact that I did 20,000 plus miles a year and quite a bit of motorway driving. The car was: 5 door hatchback 90bhp 1997cc 4 cylinders 8 valves Insurance group 6 Road tax band C Manual transmission I'll start with the good bits about it. ! I loved it's looks and colour - aegean blue. It was roomy and comfortable and the ... more

Having read ALL of the reviews on the 307 HDi listed here, i think it's time to add my own! Where do i start describing what it is to own & drive one of these fantastic motors! I have a 2001 China Blue 307 2.0Hdi GLX (140bhp < more on this below). Purchased @ 72k miles with full peugeot history (no unusual problems & another bonus). all the usual features concerned with the 307, plus cruise control, 5 CD changer, A/C, Full electric pack. I dont believe in extras such as auto lights, wipers as they are just plain lazy and make you a less observant driver, also i believe they weren't available ... more

I bought this car (110bhp) in 2003. There seems to be a clutch problem for 307 diesels manufactured this year and perhaps in previous years. My clutch (dual mass flywheel) disintegrated at around 28 000 miles. Peugeot replaced the whole clutch kit under warrantee. Another Peugeot dealer told me that the clutch is guaranteed for 5 years or 100 000 miles. So, if your clutch needs replacing, do not be shy to take it back to Peugeot if it is still under the warrantee. My driver side wing mirror was replaced under warrantee because the heater did not work. The rear left hand side brake light seems ... more

I have just test driven the 5 door version of this car (the Rapier model). I want to have a diesel car and I have test driven this car as well as the Citroen Xsara (although the Xsara was 90 bhp as opposed to 110 bhp in the Peugeot.) The Citroen Xsara is currently on offer (along with the Saxo and Picasso) suggesting a new model in the near future as the C3, C5 & C8 have arrived or are imminent for delvery to a showroom near you. The diesel Xsara (90 bhp) was a good ride and comfy - but the Peugeot 307 110bhp was a dream in comparison. The exterior is perfectly adequate - no qualms there. The ... more

I bought an 03 Peugeot 307 S in Aegean Blue for £13,600 brand new, it had the 2.0 HDi 90 engine. What went wrong: On the first day my indicator stalk wouldn't reset to its normal position. I phoned the next day to book it in and then when I went up there on the Wednesday they hadn't even ordered the part, it was sorted the next week. Then after only five days the alternator had to be replaced, which was done overnight, so luckily was only without the car for a day. This car has adequate performance and is very comfortable to drive. Being a diesel it has its sluggish moments but then the turbo ... more
