Peugeot 307, Vectra or Mondeo ?

Go for the Vectra, the blindspot over the shoulder is slightly smaller than the Mondeo and in terms of servicing/parts it is significantly cheaper to operate than the 307.
In 2003 the Vectra won the best family car award, beyond very minor specification changes (add or subtract a gadget) that would be the same car as a 2004 so you will be buying an award winner.

Have a one year old Mondeo 2.0 TDCi & I hate it. The engine sounds like a bag of spanners.

Much prefer the VW I had before - next time around I'll be going VW or VAG group again.

It'd be a Mondeo for me and defintely not a 307, reasons same as #5

Opinion seems to be split. You just need to go and test drive all 3 vehicles to see which feels right for you driving.

When I changed my car recently I was set on having another Corsa as I loved my old one. I was so disappointed when I test drove one as it was dreadful. I just test drove random cars I had no intention of buying just to narrow down my search and then sought out my vehicle.

OH did the same with his Mondeo. He had driven a few on work driving courses so he knew what he liked - once we had agreed on what we both liked driving - I didn't like Vectra inside - we sourced the car.

I'd go for the Mondeo if it was my choice.

Thanks for the opinions

He's narrowed it down to the Vectra or Mondeo and like Poppy mentioned he's gonna go and test drive a couple and get the feel of the car.

thanks again

Don't forget to squeeze the dealer right to the bone with haggling and pricing off against competitors, etc., read the article for more. :beer:

I'd say DO NOT go with the 307 (even though I own and love my 306.)

Mondeo probably over the Vectra, but you should easily be able to pick up a Vectra much cheaper ...

Go shopping online too to get a feel for great deals. I've bought two cars sight unseen on line and been very pleased with them both.

Havent driven the Pug, so cant comment on that, Have driven a few Mondeos and Vectras, And if it was my own money I wouldnt touch either, IMO they make no sense as a personal purhase, but are for a company rep cars.
If thats the short list I would go for the Ford, I would rather gnaw my own legs off than drive a vectra, horrible cars.
