Peugeot 307 Estate

The estate version of the 307 makes a practical and rational choice for a family car - especially in diesel form. It's roomy, has a large load area and has a good range of engines. And if you need a few extra seats for kids, the SW can provide it. All 307s were improved in 2005 with a new front-end and a more reliable electrical system.

S, LX, TD, HDI

Well equipped for the class (it should be for the money), but options are expensive so look out for one of the many special editions. Some of the interior trims are a bit questionable.
