PEUGEOT’S ALTERNATIVE TO
the Ford Escort, the 306, was
always regarded as a benchmark
model in its heyday. Maybe not for quality
or finish, but in dynamic terms, it was a cut
above the average, especially as a diesel.
Great things are therefore expected of its
replacement and this hatch has hatched
with a distinctly different look, very akin to
the new Honda Civic.
The idea of the build-’em-tall,
cab-forward styling is to find more room
inside, with seat cushions higher off the
floor; this means that no-one has to sit
semi-recumbent.
It works, too, with an unusual-for-
Peugeot loftier driving stance that’s spoilt
only by inadequate lumbar support. Actual
dimensions at the back (for people and
luggage) are little improved on the 306,
but it’s comfortable, none the less.
Lots of oddments room compensates for
a modest load deck with a high rear sill,
but the full-size spare wheel is accessed
from inside now.
It’s well known that Peugeot is good at
suspension design, but we confess to
some disappointment with our test car’s
jittery ride – maybe the LX on 65 series
tyres will be more compliant than our
Rapier. There’s no criticism of its steering
or cornering prowess, however.
We’re impressed by the generous array
of safety features that are standard on
even the cheapest 307, but on test, we
found the brakes’ pedal response too light
when there isn’t an emergency.
