2000 Peugeot 306 XSi review from Australia and New Zealand
"Good fun, but mildly disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of irritating squeaks and rattles.
General comments?
The car was nice to drive and rode beautifully, but the clutch was incredibly heavy.
Straight line speed was adequate, but the engine was always protesting. The real fun is to be had in the corners.
The cabin was a bit outdated and we had to have extra leather put in to cover the tragic fabric inserts.
