The Peugeot 307, produced until 2008 in Europe but lasting until 2014 in some markets, was a small family car that carved a niche for itself. Let’s take a deep dive into what this 2009 model year Peugeot offers.
Design & Style
The 307 offered a variety of body styles: a 3-door and 5-door hatchback, a sleek 2-door coupe-cabriolet, a practical 5-door wagon, and a classic 4-door sedan. All shared a modern, sculpted design language that remains fairly handsome even by today’s standards. The interior, while not necessarily luxurious, is functional and comfortable, with some ergonomic quirks.
Engine & Performance
Peugeot offered a range of petrol and diesel engines for the 307. Petrol options started with a 1.4-liter unit, which might feel a bit sluggish, but progressed to a more sprightly 2.0-liter option. Diesel engines offered better fuel economy, with the 1.6-liter HDi being a popular choice.
While not a performance car by any means, the 307 handles decently, offering a comfortable ride for most everyday driving situations.
Reliability & Maintenance
The Peugeot 307’s reliability record is a bit mixed. Some users report minor electrical issues and problems with the suspension. However, with proper maintenance, the 307 can be a dependable companion. Parts availability can vary depending on your location.
Practicality & Space
Depending on the body style you choose, the 307 offers a good amount of space for passengers and cargo. The hatchback versions provide a decent balance, while the wagon offers the most cargo capacity.
Safety
The 2009 Peugeot 307 achieved a 4-star rating in Euro NCAP safety testing. It came equipped with airbags, anti-lock brakes, and electronic stability control.
Overall
The 2009 Peugeot 307 is a good option for someone looking for a stylish, practical, and relatively affordable family car. It offers a comfortable ride, decent performance, and a variety of body styles to choose from. However, be mindful of the potential for some reliability concerns and slightly higher maintenance costs compared to some Japanese competitors. If you find a well-maintained example, the Peugeot 307 can be a rewarding choice.
