Russethouse Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Thank goodness for that ! We've had a Citroen Visa, BX (several, and still my favorite). ZX and now Picasso and I have to say they have been pretty trouble free although we do get them serviced etc. The problem cars I have had have been Vauxhalls :-( My daughter had a Ford Fiesta and changed it for a VW Golf which she is very happy with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunday Driver Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Up until recently, I'd never considered buying a Peugeot, my previous cars all being German - Mercedes Benz, Volkswagen and BMW. A year ago, when the pompiers did a cabriolet conversion job on the BMW, I called into our local Peugeot dealer and found a one elderly owner, low mileage, three year old 307 Executive with automatic transmission (useful for Mrs Sunday's dodgy knees) and all the goodies possible.Having signed the order, I decided to do a quick check of some UK car sites and found one detailing all the horror stories concerning the reliability of the 307. Fortunately, most of the complaints related to the earlier model and owners of my newer version seemed to be less troubled.That said, during the past year, the car has run perfectly with no problems at all. It's now due it's annual service and now that the dealer guarantee has expired, my local general garagiste is going to do it for me. He has a laptop with all the service/diagnostic software for all the major marques and he'll charge me less than the Peugeot dealer. He looks after my Mercedes camper and my BMW motorcycle and the quality of his work is first class.I could have paid a lot more money and bought the newly introduced 308, but it didn't offer me any real advantage over this 307 which has been an excellent car.

In which case you may have to order extra deckchairs and carpets as well as some dangly things to decorate the internal scaffolding. Not sure about colours under all those sponsor panels.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
