Nah I wont be getting a 307, or any newer peugeot, mate at college had a 307 HDi, I didn't like it at all and he had loads of issues with it being a peugeot, and definitely don't want another 2.0 HDi engine.
Funny thing is you guys can list newer cars that have had problems......but of all the newer cars I know they never bloody break (irritatingly!).
However, how many small faults were there on the Golf? After 8 owners, 136k miles and 10 years of abuse the interior was all in one peice and good condition, as was the engine, and everything else tbh. And when things broke (which were entirely my fault) they were so easy to replace, no rusty seized parts anywhere!! Yes it majorly failed towards the end with the lifters breaking, but that was my fault for buying the wrong one and modding it. I should've just bought a 150 and left it standard, cheaper to run, tax and insure than the slow old HDi. And has some build quality. Same as Dads Mondeo, Ok, so I won't be getting a V6 like Dads, but its done 150k on a Y plate, the leather interior is still perfect, dash looks modern and has useful features like miles to empty and stuff. Then theres the hyundais that my Grandads had from new for 3 years on mobility, nothing ever went wrong with them either.
No car is faultless that I own or ever will own, but with 306s its just one thing after another, broken bits everywhere, seized nuts/bolts all over the place and really not cheap to run or insure, especially given thier complete lack of power.
