1995 Peugeot 306 D Turbo review from UK and Ireland
"Does the job, in style, cheaply"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dashboard relay packed in, and they would not turn off with engine. Lots of small electrical problems, but all cheap to repair using private garages. Quotes from Peugeot dealers are sky high!
General comments?
Mpg is not as good as claimed and the close ratio gearbox does not help the efficiency on the motorway. Other Peugeots with the same engine do for more mpg. Racing type seats are not as comfortable as they look, and are too narrow, even for me. Other than that, the bodywork is average, with front wheelarches showing huge gaps.
