1999 Peugeot 306 XT 2.0 petrol
Summary:
It has been an excellent reliable car
Faults:
The leather on the steering wheel started to show wear and tear, which is understandable after so many years.
Also in the first 2 years, the aluminium knob of the gear was breaking off, causing scratches to my hand. It was changed twice by the Peugeot dealer while still under warranty. Finally, they admitted that was a faulty batch, and they installed one of the new batch, and I never had any problem since then.
Only once in the first year, I had an instance when the car totally shut down (it was dead). They blamed it on the computerised parts; it was promptly fixed and never happened again.
General Comments:
Excellent car in terms of handling.
I find the pedals are a bit too close to each other.
Lack of storage space in the front, such as no cup holders, no bits and pieces compartment, and it would have been a lot more comfortable if there was an armrest for the driver and front passenger.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
