Peugeot 307 SW with seven seats

[Detlef Kleiss]

Hello out there,

has anybody make any experiences with the Peugeot 307 SW with seven seats? Especially:
- How are the additional two seats fitted to the car?
- Are the passengers on these seats do sit in driving
direction or are they facing the rear window?
- Are the seats equipped with 3 point safety belts?

Furthermore to those who already drive a 307 SW:
what motor would you recommend for that car (Iam looking for a Diesel)

Thank you

Detlef

I'm driving the 307SW 2.0(110) Hdi diesel.

I have not got the additional 2 seats, but the fixings/fittings are already provided.

- There is a quick-fit mechanism that is used on ALL of the rear seats (i.e you can have any combination of 0 - 5 seats in the rear)
- You can move around the existing midle row seats into the rear row
- The 6th & 7th Seats are forward facing
- Have not tried them but strongly suspect that 6/7th seats are ideal for children, but not for adults
- Car comes already fitted with 7 lots of 3-point Seat Belts

I went for the high powered diesel, because I tow a caravan & it is excellent for that (I believe the 307SW won the "TowCar of the Year" award in Holland! I also do quite a large mileage (12,000 in 1st 6 months).

Generally I'm very happy with the car with no complaints.

Regards,
John

Yes, I have the 2.0 16v petrol.

Especially:

- How are the additional two seats fitted to the car? They clip into

holders in the floor of the boot.

- Are the passengers on these seats do sit in driving They are facing the front. direction or are they facing the rear window?
- Are the seats equipped with 3 point safety belts? Built into the car already.

I would recommend the HDi 110 engine, which I couldn't have due to internal fleet car politics!

The car is excellent, we have had some problems with "Anti Pollution Fault" warnings showing but that apart it does all we ask of it. It replaced a Vauxhall Zafira and whilst the very rear seats are less accommodating it handles more like a car and less like a van.

The kids love the rear seats, I have travelled for about 30 minutes in one and was quite glad to get out!

I would wait a little and get the new 1.6 HDI 110hp which is a much newer and better design than the pretty old 2.0 110hp. The 1.6 should also use a lot less diesel and be cheaper to buy.

I'm hoping they'll finally offer an automatic transmission on a diesel-engine when the 1.6 HDI debuts in the 307 SW...
