Woo! New 307

By Oli on Wednesday, 06th December 2006. More information. Comments.

Anyone that's known me and my cars for more than 10 seconds knows I get through them at an astonishing rate. No, I don't crash them or sell them on the black market but my mother owns a garage so buys me a car and sells my old one... While usually still being able to get a profit of the sold car.

(From left: Old 307; New 307)

The older one is an 02 on a 01 plate whereas the new one is an 04 on a 03 plate, so there's a good 2 years difference between the models.

The engine is a 2 litre turbodiesel, almost the same as my last. Peugeot make two models in the 2l HDI range. One with 90bhp and one with 110bhp. My older was a 90 and the newer is a 110.

Although you can't see it from that picture, there seems to be a ton more space inside the car too. I think they've done something clever with the seats which means a guy of my stature (around 6'4" on a good day; and built to last a winter) now has very little problem getting in and relaxing. A superb move on Peugeot's behalf.

On the road, it's just like before with a little bit of extra jazz. The slightly lower seat allows you to enjoy it a little more too. It's nice. I'll post an update when I've driven it a little more =)

My Wife and I just traded in our SUV for a new econo box. Pontiac Wave, Suzuki Swift(canada only) known as a Daewoo Kalos, Chevy Aveo, Opel Corsa, Holden Barina in other parts of the world just to name a few. Kinda funny how one car can have so many names and even looks.

I just noticed that I didn't even mention what car we bought just all the names for the car :) we got the pontiac wave. I miss my SUV allready. I guess I now have a reason to fix my truck

If they're all the same car with different names that one is called a Vauxhall Corsa here =) Nasty little car but some people swear by them... But they will do about 2-3 times the miles on the same fuel...
