307 LX UK cars converted from Europe's stock !

The front screen wipers for the 307 LX is badly designed for UK users. The wiper on the driver side is shorter than the one on the left thus the passenager side can have a better view than the driver. The driver side wiper cannot reach close to the edge of the screen and leaves quite a big area cannot be cleared during driving in a rainy or snowy day. The blocked screen area can be measured up about 5 inches from the side plus the thickness of the screen frame, it blocks the driver's vision for any car comes from the right. Driver of this model has to move to the centre and change position constantly while driving in a bad weather, it is very dangerous and uncomfortable. It is redicious for Peugeot to sell problematic car by ignoring the safety and comfortableness issues.

Having written to complain (email) about the faulty design, the response was that the design was under the safety regulation with 80% visible area, there's nothing they want to do. However, the 80% visible area is on the passenger side. Having raised this issue with the Peugeot dealer, Belmont, staff agreed that this model was converted from European stock. It is impossible to change the front screen wipers. This is the way it is!

Can anyone comment on this? Is it common for car manufacturers to convert European cars for use in UK can without thorough thinking? What is the customers right after purchase?

Alot of car makes do. to be truely right in RHD a car needs to be (re)designed in RHD. In many RHD top end sports cars like porsches and ferraris have driving seats that point to the left instead of forward. the only thing you can do is write to your MP and call for changes in the law (IE specifing where the 80% has to be, or take PSA to court on the grounds that the car is dangerous. your best alternative is to buy a different car.(86.31.188.11 (talk) 22:46, 29 September 2008 (UTC))

DISPUTED: 80 MPG
If the 308 just set a world record for 75 MPG, how did the 307 get 80 already? I think this is an incorrect statement. Prove it or I lose it. WikiDon (talk) 03:01, 3 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The world record was 3.13 l/100 km, the 307 is reported to achieve 83 mpgimp. The WP:MOS states that if using the unit gallons, it should be qualified as U.S. gallons or imperial gallons. -- de Facto (talk). 10:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused, are we discussing the fuel consumption record of a full prodution car because that wouldgo to the citreon AX and I belive was slightly more than 100MGP(Imp) average on a trip from dover to barcelona.(86.31.188.11 (talk) 22:40, 29 September 2008 (UTC))

safety
I know it's not exactly the right place to ask - but why aren't they any safety data about the car - how many airbags does it has, whats the crash test scores, etc. יוסאריאן (talk) 16:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
