1995 Peugeot 306 XS review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap insurance, good performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Occasionally the electric windows stop working.
Drivers seat is wearing quite badly on the offside bolster and around the handle.
The car used a lot of oil, but now uses a moderate amount due to the dealer fixing the problem.
Passenger door leaked and flooded both nearside foot-wells.
General comments?
The car has 90 horse power standard, and with the addition of a Rage cat-back system, the car was tested and now has 94 at the wheels.
This car is seriously fast for a 1.6i and even gives BMW's a run for their money, I've even beaten an RS turbo down a local de restricted bypass!
Handling is crisp and clean, the car really sticks to the road around those country lanes.
I was very surprised with the car, and it has reasonable pull in every gear.
