It’s also known for chic French design, generous equipment and having enough room for adults in the back – not always a given among cabriolets. The purpose of the Peugeot 307 CC is simple: offer open-top fun as well as family-friendly practicality, all at a sensible price. It’s a good pick if you want year-round usability from your cabriolet, as the metal roof keeps out cold and road noise better than most soft-tops. Drivers like its handsome looks and the sense of occasion it brings to daily journeys, as well as its solid kit list. Launched in 2003 and sold until 2008, the 307 CC followed the success of the smaller 206 CC. Compared to rivals like the Renault Megane Cabriolet and Ford Focus CC, the Peugeot remains an affordable convertible option that’s more than just a fair-weather friend. Key features include four full seats, strong safety equipment for its class, and decent boot space for a coupe-convertible.

With its reinforced bodyshell and rollover hoops built into the rear seats, it offers reassuring safety, especially compared to older soft-top convertibles. ISOFIX child seat mounts add extra family safety.
Engine choices include 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre petrols, with the 2.0 coming in both 140bhp standard and 180bhp Feline versions. Diesel engines, a 2.0 HDi in different tunes, are also available later in the model's life. The 1.6 petrol is considered a balanced option for most drivers.
Most 307 CCs are well equipped, offering air conditioning, remote central locking, electric windows and a CD stereo system as standard. Higher trims bring climate control, leather seats, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls, so check individual examples for their features.
The 1.6 and 2.0 petrol engines average between 33 and 37mpg in mixed driving. The 2.0 diesel options are more frugal, delivering up to 47mpg. Real-world consumption will depend on your driving style and roof-up or roof-down motoring, but running costs remain sensible for the class.
Check that the folding roof operates smoothly and that all electric features (like windows and roof) work reliably. Look for signs of leaks, interior wear and listen for suspension noise on the test drive. As with all used cars, consider a full check from The AA Vehicle Inspection for peace of mind.
The 307 CC is built to a reasonable standard, but some models may face electrical niggles and wear in roof mechanisms as they age. Early petrol engines had a few issues, but later cars and diesels tend to be sturdier. Regular service history is a must for reliability.
