Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Peugeot 307 shopping experience:

1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Peugeot 307 offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Peugeot 307 at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.

2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about

3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Peugeot 307? Wrong! If the Peugeot 307 is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.

4. Questions - Got a question about Peugeot 307 then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....

5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Peugeot 307? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Peugeot 307 and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.

6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Peugeot 307 wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.

7. Feedback - happy with your Peugeot 307 then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Peugeot 307 site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site

9. Contact - got a question about Peugeot 307, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.

10. Payment - ready to pay for your Peugeot 307, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

Volkswagen Golf produced by the [France Peugeot manufacturer since 2001. It was awarded the 2002 European Car of the Year.

History The 307 was presented as the 307 Prométhée prototype at the 2000 Mondial de l'Automobile. The production hatchback versions were introduced to the European markets in 2001 as a successor to the Peugeot 306. The 307 was also sold in Australia, New Zealand and Asia as well; but not Canada, although it was sold in Mexico in 1.6 and 2.0 petrol versions.

Design and engineering The 307s makes use of a reworked 306 platform, that can also be found on the Citroën Xsara as well as the 1991 Citroën ZX. However, the car is much larger than the 306 in every direction.

The 307 continued the company's styling first seen on the Peugeot 206 and Peugeot 607. With upswept front lights and a steeply rising bonnet leading to a highly sloped windscreen (and the upright rear doors of the 206), the 307 departed from the Pininfarina-designed themes employed on the previous two generations of Peugeots first seen on the Peugeot 205, and ended with the Peugeot 406.

Its height is , which is in the middle of the spectrum between small family cars (between 1400 and 1450 mm) and compact MPVs (between 1600 and 1650 mm). Some consider the 307 as a low compact MPV rather than a tall small family car, because of its height and profile.

Body styles At launch, the 307 was launched as a 3- and 5-door hatchback, though in 2002 the 307 range was expanded with the introduction of two estate car, called the 307 Break and 307 SW. Externally they are almost identical, with the exception that the SW version has silver roof bars and a 3/4 length panoramic glass roof as standard equipment. Internally though, the 307 Break is a conventional estate, while the SW features an optional third row of removable seats so it is more flexible due to its MPV-like configuration. The SW exists because Peugeot did not develop a compact MPV spin-off as Citroën did with the Citroën Xsara Picasso, instead preferring to offer a more flexible version but maintaining the style and road manners of an estate.

The 307 CC, a cabriolet with a retractable hardtop, was launched in 2003 to compete against the new European coupé cabriolets.

In 2004, a four-door saloon version of the 307 was launched in China. The 307 is produced for the China market by the Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile, a joint venture with the PSA Group. This model is also built in Argentina since early .

Engines also available (from 09/2007 onwards) is a version called 1,6 BioFlex that can as well run on ethanol E85.

2005 model In 2005, the 307 was revised to meet the onslaught of rivals which had been launched since the 307s introduction in 2001. The front of the car was restyled featuring mildy revised lights, a new bonnet and the removal of the trademark Peugeot grille between the headlights. With the latter change, along with a new front bumper, the front of the car was now dominated by a larger air intake, as first established on the Peugeot 407, and which was now effectively the company's new 'grille'.

The 307's replacement, the Peugeot 308, was launched in September 2007.

307 in rallying The Peugeot 307 WRC, a World Rally Car based on the 307 CC, replaced the very successful Peugeot 206 in the World Rally Championship in 2004. The vehicle, nicknamed "The Flying Frog" and "The Whale", was plagued by transmission problems and only began to come into its element in competition towards the end of its factory-supported participation in the WRC. It has three WRC victories to its name, but saw its competition life cut short at the end of 2005 by PSA Peugeot Citroën's self-enforced withdrawal from top-level rallying. It topped the podium in the series on the 2004 and 2005 Neste Rally Finland as well as in the 2005 Rally Japan. All the victories were at the hands of double world champion Marcus Grönholm. A private undertaking for the 2006 World Championship season by seasoned Peugeot preparatory firm Bozian Racing, dubbed OMV Peugeot Norway World Rally Team, has since largely assumed responsibility for the running of WRC-spec 307s. Manfred Stohl and Henning Solberg were named as the driving personnel.

The 307 WRC will be remembered for the accident that befell WRC competitors Markko Märtin and Michael Park (rally co-driver) on September 18, 2005, which resulted in Park's death. On stage 15 of Wales Rally GB, Märtin lost control of his 307 WRC and collided with a tree, killing Park instantly. This was the first fatality in a WRC event since 1993.

307 CC Hybride HDi Peugeot has designed a diesel-electric 2-door-cabriolet hybrid version of the 307 that can achieve 80 miles per gallon. The vehicle is in the concept stages. In addition, a diesel-electric hybrid, unlike gas-electric vehicles, could be totally independent of oil since pure biodiesel can theoretically be used in any diesel engine.
