In New Zealand, Lawrie attempted to find the worst car in the Southern Hemisphere. However, back home I was left with this - his mother's spare car. A very, very tired Peugeot 307. And I decided we just had to review it.

The car might have belonged to your mate’s mother but it’s blindingly obvious the car has been driven into the ground. I own a 307 petrol 1.6 it’s my second car. The 307 is one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. I service the car regularly. It starts first time every time all weathers. Peugeot make a great engine and manufacture engines for other car manufacturers including jaguar and Land Rover. Next time you choose to knock a car’s credibility why not find one that’s been looked after and clearly serviced regularly.

To be honest the 307 as "the worst car in the world" is quite honestly unfair. There are far ghastlier than this and the power of perception is a powerful thing. In fact there are Hondas and Toyotas which did not work as reliably as the 307 when neglected but no one bats an eye. As a car the 307 ticked all the right boxes at it's time. If I were to do that stupid "modern Peugeot driver" skit that TopGear did in my region, it would have all been Toyotas, or their budget brand Perodua. Now come and think of it, maybe I would he doing that soon. 😶‍🌫️

I've had all the diesels plus a 1.4 and 1.6 petrol, the 1.6 petrol was my favourite because as this clown said, it does sound quite good when you rev the nuts off it plus its pretty swift with 110bhp. The handling can be iffy if they have the 15 inch alloys seen on that video, big side walls makes them sway a bit. The 16 inch alloys are the best for handling, it makes them very capable on a back road.

Bollocks. In Q3, there were more than 1.4 million Ford Focuses still left on the road, versus 169K 307s. Even as new cars, the electrics in a 307 were a dangerous joke, especially the convertible hardtops. They were heavy, wallowing cheap tat.

BritishCommentWriter BritishCommentWriter The Focus is made from 1998 to date, so I’d like to think there’s 1.4 million Focus’s still on the road.. Narrow your search down to Mk1 Focus and there’ll not even be 50k left on the road. The only good thing about a Focus was how it drove, everything else was lacklustre and crap. Sales figures also don’t dictate how good a car is long term, 307’s last longer because they’re a sturdier built car using more reliable engines and they don’t rust. Try finding a Ford older than 10 year without rust! I’ve owned a 2001 307 HDI with 300k miles and absolutely no rust anywhere! Early cars suffered from electrical issues, big fucking deal, they were the first of the hatches to use a CANBUS electrical system so everything has teething issues at first, all issues were soon ironed out with recalls.

amclueless - I remember British Leyland being the same as most other cars at the time especially Ford and Vauxhall - no better and no worst. As a matter of FACT I have never bought a Ford as the company we worked for used them as company cars and they were always having problems and it was usually major going through engines and gearboxes as if they were wear and tear items and luckily for the company they were under warranty - of course they would not move from Ford because they gave the cheapest prices to keep companies buying their cars. The people that believe all the crap about Leyland are usually Top Gear viewers who believe all the crap that those "journalists" spouted. I owned a 1978 Morris Marina 1.8HL twin carb which was an excellent fast reliable car. I also owned a 1980 Austin Allegro 1750 Equipe and that was also a very reliable car and used to own a 1983 Austin Mini Mayfair also very reliable and that was because I used to service and look after my own cars and rustproof them as well. Most people did not bother looking after their cars and only took it into the garage when inevitably something went wrong or broke down and then they would blame the car or manufacturer. Funny how the surviving Leyland cars today are still plodding away no problem as long as they are looked after and the people owning them today are happy with them and say that they are good cars. Most people are sheep and will parrot any old shite they are told and that is why the Elites have been taking the piss out of humanity for the last couple of thousand years at least and if you want to see how they are taking the piss out of you then Google Paisley Expressions and also Chris Spivey.org. This car in the video would be an okay car if it was looked after properly but as I said it is down to the owner not the car.

I'm now on my second facelift one, having run the first one for 10 years, both in high trim levels and both with the 1.6 hdi lump. I put it to you that it's time you had another go. Want to take mine out for a spin before they disappear from the roads altogether? Regards, James.

This is one of the best car you can get for less than 3000€. It's also really cheap to drive, insure and maintain. It's ployvalent you have room for 4-5 peoples and a large trunk. It's not the most powerful car but with 110hp it's enought for the everyday use. I understand that you can find it boring. It's not a car for car lovers but car users. That's why many of theses are still on the roads.

The bmw leaking coolant, leaky stem valve seals, driver heater core stopped working. The stereo lcd screen can't take the heat and start going blank. That bmw is a piece of shit of a design while the peugeot drives perfect only changes are wear and tear consumables. After changing the peugeot's clutch and fly wheel the car is a very good drive and zippy.

✡ CSGO ALFA Its amazing how a few decent cars (205 GTi, 405 GTi, 106 GTi ect..) by Peugeot can warrant about 20 years of forgiveness from the public. We all like the brand and we want Peugeot to survive. It’s great they’re finally pulling themselves out of the rough patch they’ve been sitting in for a while.

I bought the combi model yesterday, cause i smashed my 2006 Citroen C5 into a roadsign. The C5 is still on the property but some steering arm under is broken. And this Peugeot.. I dunno, feels tiny, and I dont like gearbox and the tiny space for pedals, and the motorlamp is in orange its says "depollution faulty"... I opened the door the C5 to get some stuffs out it, and whispered - i miss you buddy😢

I always wonder how cars get to this point...I mean, some 15 years ago someone spent a rather large portion of their income to buy this car new - and almost instantly neglected it. Even if you do not care for cars at all...I’m not a particular sucker for sinks, bookshelves or pillows either, yet I clean, repair or wash them every now and then?! On a side note I found the 307 when new a rather good car, especially considering all the space, decent engines and available features you could get for your money. Only downfall was that the head- and taillights would constantly blow out...watch for it: Every single one you see has at least one blown out light!

I agree with this shitty petrol engine car , but is different story with the HDI engines , I can assure you HDI will blow any BMW engine for lasting longer miles without any problems. HDI gives you very good MPG and it’s quick but is French car . Cheap low quality materials and they are weak on things like suspension parts , bolt joints and inner ends. Problems with headlights and stop lights , connectors get old and crashes to sand peace’s , some cars giving electric problems but not all . If you carry on and doing service in recommending time HDI engines is bulletproof! Especially 1.6HDI engines

I know because in 2007, an idiot 7 year old Volvo v40 reverseved into my passenger front door of my 4 year old 307xsi at full speed from 100ft away. My car needed £2000 of repairs, his car was a write off.

Excellent. That's it. Excellent. If I still had my Vauxhall Signum, I'd invite you to review it - Almost the polar opposite of the 307... I think it actually looked good, it had all the leather, electric doo-dahs, etc. and was a comfy, clean and pleasant place to be. But barely ran. And when it did, it drank petrol like a staggering drunk and covered ground at about the same speed. Never again.

And thanks for the comprehensive review. It's rare nowadays to find someone who doesn't just bash those cars for the sake of bashing French cars...

What a load of rubbish. That's an unloved low spec model. I bought the 307 xsi shape was great when it came out and it came with more standard tech than any other car at the time, it's a 16 year old design. Auto wipers, auto lights, computer, great on the motorway, great visibility, decent seats. Mine is 15 years old and I bought it new for £12k on 0% golf was 20k, leon 19k. You compared it to a 10 year old fiesta, what an idiot. You have to compare it to cars if the day. Vw golf citroen and Renault megane were dreadful, seat leon and audi a3 had worse interiors. Also it's not a sports car. The xsi is way better than the low spec models. I use mine as a workhorse 2nd car now. Peugeot should've made the xsi 180 bhp from day 1. Also these cars are mega cheap for parts. I also had a fiesta and they are s..t cause they are made by ford even the focus rs has terrible build quality

Well as it's confession time i should say i bought one of these cars as something to deal with winter. Same spec, same age, and similar mileage. I have to say there is a measure of logic in doing just the bare minimum to keep them running- simply because they are still just as grisly with 4 matching tyres and clean bodywork! Making one smart is akin to having an uber-expensive respray on a 1980's Beetle- you are still only left with a Beetle- and an empty wallet, at the end. I can't say i spent too much buying the thing as it was a sensible 350GBP, and the seller was honest. I knew it was a shed, he knew it was a shed; nuff said. The engine sounds nice, i agree with that one. On mine it doesn't do a lot until you get over 3,200rpm, i thought this was camshaft design related (and 16valve sluggishness) but this, i think, is only part of the story- it also appears the logic systems for the ignition timing and the injection pulses make up their own mind of what they should be doing, which is sometimes independent of coolant temp, ambient temp, vacuum, throttle position, engine speed and all the other factors which you would hope they act on! The switch stalks behind the steering wheel sit in a computer assembly called a DAVCOM 2000, which sounds like a cut-price Terminator.. come to think of it, it does seem to have the purpose of killing humans, as when the indicator spigot wears- which it does very quickly- a right hand indication doesn't just cancel, it flicks over to a left hand indication- at staggered junctions this means someone pulls out in front of you, and you crash. I fixed this problem straight away, £5 spigot off ebay, power off, airbag off, davcomm off, change spigot and reassemble. Reverse gear is rather flimsy on these cars; it is easy to loose or chip a tooth and once this has happened it can jump out of gear and chip the next tooth along if you're not careful. You have to hold it in reverse to be sure. Not as easy as it sounds.. The one time that the car simply refused to start, the problem was the crankshaft position sensor having gone high resistance. This meant no ignition, no fuel injection, you are walking home. There is, of course, no double redundancy, if it fails you are stuck. I crushed the old one to see if corrosion had caused it, and it was nice and shiny.....so why has a 500ohm coil of wire round a magnet failed in use..? It could be that it couldn't stand being attached to a Peugeot any more and committed suicide. The castings for the exhaust manifold are routinely of poor quality. Mine was cracked and having fitted a s/h one i expected the new lambda sensor and leak-free manifold to cure the kangaroo take-offs. Did it? Did it bottoms. To reliably pull away sharpish you still need 1,800rpm to avoid lurching like a 12 year old car thief. Did i mention these cars get through an unseemly amount of bulbs? The multi-function display defaults to German at random times, and the after-market radio had to be removed as it got engaged in an insoluble argument with the BSI whereby the radio simply decided to switch on at 0300 a la Christine, and flatten the battery. If you sneeze near the car the Eco Mode activates, but this is 'normal'. Oh god- the car still actually works after 2yrs- i may have to give it the Christine treatment simply in order to kill it. It's a tryer, i'll give it that..

You should see my parents Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDI. That's a real shitbox. It was an ex company car in jersey with Normans so it's painted yellow underneath. They painted it afterwards in black but the paints coming off, the engine is totally fucked as it's leaking oil everywhere and there's no power left, still runs though. The gearbox is leaking oil and it grinds all the time. The clutch works when it wants to and the rear shock has leaked everywhere so no longer works. There are chips on the windscreen. I hit a pheasant in it so the front grill is smashed in. It's out car that we treat like crap because it's worth nothing. The wipers don't work for shit either and it's all super dirty. All the electronics work though somehow. The rear bumper hangs off as well as I reversed it into a fence and then drove forward which pulled it off. Shitty plastic clips. The breaks don't work that well either.

Roertje 85 i have to disagree, even when new, when they was popular, they was dogs. Was given the estate version (SW iirc) of some as a company lease back in about 2003. I drove it from N.Wales to manchester, and had to call work and get it replaced. They have the strangest seating position. In the small cheap car market, the mk1 ka (not mk2) was a way better 'fun' car. Also the 206 is a scary place above about 65mph, the ka will do 80 with you feeling like youre about to die. Also the ka had a better engine (1.3z) and a half decent gear box. The 206 is like stiring pudding. Peugeot seemed to have a nap after the 205gti until the 18 3008. They done next to nothing inbetween. However the 106 (the saxo brother) was a fun little car. Though the peddle box was mad for 12 year olds. I had issue breaking and hitting the load peddle, and my feet are not big at a 7. It was a fun stupid car though. The 206 looks better, but the 106 had a bit more character, both terrible. Back to your 206 claim, its fun yes, but its doesn't handle well, far to soft, which makes fun, mainly because its that cheap, you don't mind if you bin it.

Stephen Butler Dude, i don't know whát they gave you but thát isn't a "real" 206. First of all, you drove the SW(estate) you said. That handles a lot different then the hatchback because of it's form and weight. Second, a 206 supposed to be a nippy and sporty little car. Especellialy the 1.6 16v version and higher are very nice to drive. Also, the gearboxes on those are one of the finest. Yes the 106 has long pulls, but you can get an upgrade for that, which improves it a LOT.

Roertje 85 no we actually own a 206 2 door atm. I was just telling a tale of another 206 another that was terrible. Thr estate one was worse than the 2 door, I'll give you that, and that was brand new at the time. Our current 206, is a 2003 iirc, and its fun, just not good. And not a patch on the 2005 ka we have here. I often grqb the keys to my girls ka before my gtc, if I'm just nipping around town. Why are you so defensive over the 206? Did you help design it? Or was it your first motor? Mine was a 91 escort van. That sure didn't handle, and wasn't fun. But it was bullet proof,and made somewhere great to sleep. We would use it to go clubbing, in the likes of wigan pier and Blackpool. Cramming 5 or 6 of us in it. Good days. But i wouldn't get defensive over the old girl.
