My friendly local (non-car-manufaturer) garage says that the newer Peugeots and Citroens have a lot more electrical faults. They get a lot of electrical work on Renaults as well. I've got one of the last 306 estates and I won't be replacing it with a 307. They reckon VW is the way to go at the moment. Skoda have a lot of parts the same, but its the ones that are Skoda's own that break down.
