One of the most prominent models in the Golf class. In this car you can feel the French frivolity and unrestrained flight of fancy of designers and engineers. it seems, first they wanted to give customers a feeling of holiday, and only then - to create a decent machine. It is no accident "fawn" like women. And “three hundred and seventh” is one of the main “favorites”. 
О Peugeot 307
by the way, in the case of Peugeot 307 the French managed not only to preserve their style, but also to develop a really good car. Debut model was held in 2001 year. First went on sale 3- and 5-door hatchbacks, a year later, the company added a station wagon 307 SW.
Car feel very confident on the road. Steering setting excellent - driver like. And for convenience and spaciousness of the cabin, quality of materials and assembly, level of safety 307th competes with the VW Golf. The basic version of equipment (with an engine capacity 1.4 l) It includes ABS, six airbags, front electric windows, power steering, central locking.

Body and Suspension
"Three hundred seventh" enough to endure the hardships of life in Ukraine. Rusty machines do not ever come. But now many chips to "fawn" body - a common occurrence. And it is not at all, that the owner goes on the worst roads. Just quality of the coating - at an average level.
We can not say, the suspension Peugeot 307 strong enough. But frankly weak, too unfair to call her. normal, in short. If you drive carefully, its main parts can withstand up 100 thousand. km. If we rush headlong ... Then it is necessary to do the bulkhead much earlier. Most weaknesses: stabilizer's pole, tie rods and brake discs, which is enough for a maximum of 30 thousands ...
Engines and transmissions
In the secondary market are basically "three hundred seventh", which were purchased from dealers. And they offered only machines with petrol engines. leanest, volume 1,4 liter for modest girls. With it the car seems to be forever sleepy. But the 1.6-liter engine is ideally suited for this model. Finally, "Riders" is addressed to a two-liter version. true, such machines on the market very little - because they cost new unreasonably expensive.
so, 1,4liter engine in operation is considered to be sufficiently reliable. The only drawback: over time it wakes up the oil appetite. A most popular 1.6-liter unit is considered to be a capricious - it requires rinsing injectors and valves in almost every THAT. If this is not done, cold start, you run the risk of ruin Motor. And the two-liter engine sometimes crashes the water pump. His neobhodmo changed to something together with the timing belt.
Now a few words on boxes. Mechanics recognized as safe, and if it sometimes bother the owners of the car - only small things. But the "machine" has already become a hero epics, which compose mechanics. He also had to see a lot about the new "three hundred seventh" with the failed unexpectedly automatic boxes. Therefore, even if the purchase of diagnosis revealed no problems with the "automatic", no one can guarantee, that he is "live" for a long time.
