Faults:

Acceleration lag when pulling away. There is a noticeable delay between pressing the accelerator and the engine responding. Have been caught out by it. This is a severe problem that Peugeot ought to investigate.

Boot lock mechanism unreliable after a few weeks of use. Consequently affected central locking of car putting it at risk from theft.

Indicator stalk unreliable when indicating to turn right. Does not stay fixed in place. Peugeot unable to clarify if this is a design fault.

Trouble activating full beam lights. Have inadvertently dazzled drivers as a result.

Sunglasses compartment lid faulty. Never fixed by dealer despite promises. Can block rear view mirror if the lid should fall down.

General Comments:

Despite two accidents (within the space of one year none of which were my fault I hasten to add!), the 307 has performed admirably.

The amount of space in this car is amazing. You can easily accommodate five adults with bags of shopping with ease.

The ride is a little too firm for my liking. The suspension is stiff which is more suited to sportier cars.

The adaptive power steering is superb. Parking has never been easier.

The interior is pleasant with light gray cloth trim although the black dashboard does spoil the effect.

Visibility through the windscreen is excellent. Would not want to think how much a replacement would cost as it is huge.

The engine is responsive once you get going, but I have misgivings about its ability in pulling away from a complete stop.

Bodywork is excellent, but interior trim is a little tacky - especially the fake wood trim.

Faults:

Delivered without floor mats which were part of standard spec.

Indicator switch auto-cancels too quickly and dangerously easy to hit main beam in the struggle to keep it on. Replaced, but still faulty to some extent.

Knocking noise - dealer has replaced most parts, but noise still apparent at times.

Failure of wipers on high speed in heavy rain - when taken to dealer no fault found. Again dangerous.

Failure of electronics, speedo, revs, air conditioning, radio for 1-2 seconds. Trip counter cycling through random numbers. No fault found, but software update done.

Recall for ignition switch.

General Comments:

Nice looking car, but very disappointed with the number of faults and the lack of customer service from Peugeot UK.

Difficult to see front corners of car.

Faults:

Indicator switch had to be replaced.

Ignition lock replaced (recall)

Driver footwell carpet coming away.

Rear passenger door bump strip replaced (fell off!)

Boot lock replaced.

Boot carpet remoulded to fit rubber seal.

Near side front wheel arch liner replaced.

Front passenger seat back awaiting replacement.

General Comments:

Although the car drives pretty well, I guess from the list of faults you can come to the conclusion that it has appalling build quality. After only 5000 miles the car is falling apart. The dealer simply could not give a toss, and is quite happy to see me once every few weeks and get paid for carrying out repairs. This is not an isolated occurrence as I have had other 307 owners, complete strangers, approach me in the street when they see me parking up and ask me if I have been having any problems. Almost everyone has the same carpet/indicators/body work faults as I have described above.
