Peugeot 307 sedan: Speaks volumes after 50 years

If you look at the Peugeot 307 in which 70% of its parts are fabricated here in Nigeria, the question to ask is, does the 307 fail to meet the standards internationally? Well here we are at 50 years after independence. At least, we have Omatek computers built for Nigeria and in fact rugged as well and it will do the work of any computer very well plus cope with the power surge problems. Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN), has done the same for Nigerians- not only as utility vehicle but as premium family cars as well. So, can a company claim local partners are sub-standard? Let’s look at the 307 sedan after 50 years of independence.

The 307 sedan comes with premium quality compared to its Japanese counterparts. For instance, the quality of materials used to build the 307 sedan matches the European specification which is aimed at delivering comfort to the driver first, then passengers.

It has arm rest for the driver good and well designed seats with lumbar support to keep the driver in one position even in hard cornering. With Variable VVT distribution more power can be zip in low gears. This allows the car to have a quick sprint at minimum fuel consumption. There is the automated trip tronic gear box that can be put to sequential mode for manual delivery. Peugeot 307 Sedan is equipped with dual-zone air conditioner. Peugeot 307 has an Audio system with FM/AM radio with CD/mp3 player. Also available in Peugeot 307 Sedan are chrome-plated door sill, refrigerated glove, power windows, power steering, and power rear-view mirror.

When it comes to comfort, there is the park assist, huge boot space, the luxury design interior and the luxury little thing like lighting for various purposes that provides peace of mind. I would choose it over a Toyota ten times over. Still it’s a Nigeria with 70% built quality from Nigeria.  Try to reject when your office give you, for us to see. So why should we expect the Samand as well.
