2001 Peugeot 307 Style 1.4
Summary:
French cars older than 2003 are a no go
Faults:
Clutch had to be changed almost at every year, as well as brake pads and discs.
At 50k, had to change catalytic converter kit, which cost me £800 (anti pollution fault).
CV joints and wheel bearings needed changing quite often.
At approx 90k, the gear box went, a bad grinding noise when in gear.
At the same time, the drive shaft went, causing car to shake and wobble when driving above 50mph.
Needed new a exhaust, and new cooling fan motor.
General Comments:
As you can see, within the short space of time I have had the car, I could have bought a new car with all the money I spent on the repairs.
The car does run economically; a full tank can do me approx 400 miles on both motorway and high street.
Was easy to manage, and drove very well.
Comfortable seats.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

I have a 307 hatchback (3 door) and have no difficulty in fitting a Maxi-Cosi rear-facing childseat.
