1994 Peugeot 306 XSi 2.0 8v

Summary:

Fast, beautiful and perfect handling!

Faults:

One brake-disc has been replaced.

Clock has been replaced.

Lambda-sensor died, has been fixed.

Stabiliser makes noise at the left-side.

General Comments:

The XSi drives beautifully.

The car is very fast at low RPM.

At 3.000 RPM it just goes and goes and..

My Remus-exhaust sounds incredible with this car!

I have had no real problems with it (yet) and it's handling is so perfect, it sticks to the asphalt like glue!

You've got a real sporty, comfortable looker with this one!

Beautiful and fast, what more do you want!

1996 Peugeot 306 XSi 2.0 8v

Summary:

Buy this instead of a Golf GTI

Faults:

Strange noise when opening and closing the right door. Repaired for 3 Euro (no kidding).

After adjusting the left seat you have make sure that it is locked, otherwise it will suddenly slide into the back position, no repairs needed.

General Comments:

Great handling, makes every other car feel like a top-loaded supermarket trolley on ice.

The brakes are a bit weak.

The car is slightly too heavy. I expected better performance with 123 bhp.

Great styling, inside and outside.

Very reliable, relatively cheap to maintain (for a hothatch)

1993 Peugeot 306 XRD 1.9 diesel

Summary:

Brings you from one place to another in a relatively cheap and comfy way

Faults:

At 230.000 km it needed some new parts: discs, drive-axle right (the expensive one), hydraulic pump for the power steering (yesterday).

Electrically there were some problems: rear windshield heating relay, head light adjustment motor, dash board lighting.

General Comments:

Very comfortable car below 130 km/h, above 130 the engine gets noisy (high revs, relatively short gears).

The car is very boring because of the low performance, but the 1.9 atmo-diesel from PSA is one of the most reliable/durable diesel engines ever made for passenger cars!!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

2000 Peugeot 306 D Turbo

Summary:

Avoid this car!

General Comments:

It is a car with nearly nice performance, but forget its reliability. Besides, the car comfort is appalling! Peugeot could improve the 306's (and others) interior... save your money and buy another car.

I don't agree. The new 306 HDi D Turbo is a cracker! It's the thinking man's GTi.

I have had the new HDI from new and it is a superb car! Refined, smart inside and out, and generally a nice all round car offering luxuries and style. It's the poor mans GTi-6!! 9/10 all round.
