1999 Peugeot 306 HDI review from UK and Ireland
"HDI frugality GTI-6 handling and looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Previous 306 DT was excellent nothing went wrong with it at all over the 3 years I had it, I have no reason to expect anything less from this one.
General comments?
Having had a 306 DT for 3 years and it costing me a total of £500 I decided that it was time for an upgrade.
The Hdi was by far the best specked and best looking car in its class out there.
Good cabin, with comfortable and supportive seats, A/C is very useful, but I have to say a sunroof would have been nice also.Good stereo fited as standard, well worth going for the CD player.
Engine is great, pulls through the rev range, maybe not the quickest of cars, but plenty of poke and just full of tuning potential, 150+ bhp is fairly easy to get out of them.
Handling, the car in standard form is quite possibly one of the best handling hatches I have ever driven, lift off over steer is possible in the wet, although the engine being rather heavy the front end still has a good turn in.
