1999 Peugeot 306 Rallye review from UK and Ireland
"A practical performance car and a good one at that!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been an absolute "god-send", nothing mechanical has gone wrong. All in all you would find it hard pressed to complain about the reliability or build quality, which have been excellent.
General comments?
Performance wise, which evidently is what you buy a "Rallye" for, it's crushing at lower speeds, few cars have low down acceleration like this, it is quite phenomenal, however it does kill the fuel, but who cares??
Handling is spot on, very direct and best of all it over-steers which is a very rare quality on front wheel drive cars.
As I have already mentioned, fuel economy is not great when the car is "driven", but if you can refrain from "lead" footing it you can return something respectable.
The interior is rather spartan, nevertheless functional and has so far been hard-wearing.
In conclusion you will not regret buying, in my opinion, a future classic.
