2001 Peugeot 307 Rapier 1.6 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
A good second hand bargain for £7,500
Faults:
Door handles stick in hot weather.
Boot doesn't always close properly.
Rattle coming from back. Later found it was the metal bars on the back seat catch release knocking together, wrapping some tape around solved the problem.
Loud clunking sound comes from front when on full lock.
When passengers in the back, mud flaps scrape on the ground when going over bumps in road.
General Comments:
Good looking car, masses of room inside.
Lots of legroom front and back. My son is 6'6 and he fits in the back comfortably.
Perhaps I'm lucky after reading some of the other reports, but so far my 307 has been very reliable, with a few minor faults so far, (although it was recalled 3 times before I bought it).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

I have a 2 year old 307, and since new there is a noise from the front suspension of the car, usually the left hand side. The dealer has made a number of adjustments to the anti roll bar, and still the noise remains. It seems worse in the wet. Can you give me more details of what was done to your car to get rid of the noise, which can be quite noisy at times!
