sascha 17 Report post Posted March 21, 2012 My mum's considering buying a 2002 peugeot hatchback off her mate, not sure if it's a 206 or 307. Anyone got any good reason to avoid them? Anything in particular to look out for? Any other opinions or advice? Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Palazzo 477 Report post Posted March 22, 2012 Try Greg Kent at Greg Kent Autos or something like that. My Peugeot fan mate says avoid like the plague, but who knows? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allan 295 Report post Posted March 29, 2012 My wife found them to be a bit sardine ish, not much clearance around the pedals, the seats did not have the right feel, not sure what she ment and she found out first hand what they are like in a cross wind. Hence she bought a 02 406hdi and is happy with it. Off track does anyone know if their is a part catologue for the peugeots like realoem.com or bmw fans out their thanks.

The gti is a very torquey engine vs the gti 180. We have a 307 xsp and love it we haven't had a single issue with it other than a dead battery. We put the H&R springs into it as we found it a little floaty in the corners. The automatic 307's are known to have a few issues with the gearbox so it would be very worth while getting a pug specilist to look it over. In Auckland i can highly recommend Greg Kent automotive - he's by far one of the best pug mechanics in NZ. might be helpful - http://www.peugeotlogic.com/workshop/base/workshop.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
