Peugeot 307 Ambience Titan S Hdi 110 SW

We have had this car for 6 months now and covered about 10,500 miles made up of driving in all types of driving situation, including snow.

PROS: Great size for a family car

Engine (when working) is absolutely brilliant, great for overtaking

Good for tall people

Very predictable handling

Good motorway cruiser

CONS: Very unreliable

Very expensive to fix

Not much scope for DIY repair

Interior and wipers designed for left hand drive, very poor.

ABS kicks in far too early under very hard braking, especially over bumps.

Faults: weeks turbo overboosting

drivers seat brok at the fron mounts so seat moved

fuel cap sensor

front windows play up by going down all the way before going up

Turbo now underboosting leading to not being able to keep up with lorries up hills, dangerous for overtaking. Currently and expensively undiagnosed.

Much as I want this car to be good I hate it passionately and for the time being have to put up with it and hope it isn't killed off by any of the other many common faults in these cars. Don't make the same mistake as me, do the research and you'll find these cars are not to be touched with a bargepole.
