Cranfield Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 The amount of doors you need, depends on the amount of friends you have. The question shouldn't be, "petrol or diesel ?", it should be "why a Peugot 307 ?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cos the insurance man has got me bent over his desk if I ask for a quote on a 4x4 Plus they look ace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy75 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 I don't want to pee on your parade, but just some friendly advice - an ex workmate bought one brand new from the Pug dealership, and in 18 months its been back 7 times now to fix a varying array of issues that are still not 100% sorted. Obviously these ones are second hand so I hope the more common faults are sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Master Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hi, One of our cars is a Peugeot 307 HDI diesel 5 door hatchback. It is 110 horse power and does 58-60mpg. Can fit all the fishing and shooting stuff in there I could ever need. Had ours brand new from a Peugeot dealership just before Christmas and no problems yet.
