1996 Peugeot 306 XRDT 1.9 turbo diesel
Summary:
Great drive, great handling, great speed, I'd buy another one anytime!
Faults:
The suspensions on the Peugeot have been replaced. This seems to be a very common problem with all peugeot models, but it wasn't too expensive.
I changed the Glow plugs once last year, but they had never been changed since 1996.
Central locking sometimes plays up a little.
Definitely much stronger than my Honda Civic Type R previously owned.
General Comments:
This is a great car, very comfortable to drive and be driven in.
Speed and torque are great especially mid range.
Acceleration is excellent for a diesel and consumption is OK. (could do better on consumption).
The turbo is very quick and it pushes you nice and tight in the seat with the acceleration.
The engine is one of the best Peugeot ever made.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
