1995 Peugeot 306 S16 review from UK and Ireland
"A rare and often overlooked addition to elite group of genuine Hot Hatches"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator required replacing due to corrosion.
General comments?
Great fun to drive fast. Excellent handling and acceleration.
Superb stereo.
ECU diagnostics light has recently been coming on although after charging me £181 for fitting a new oxygen sensor after consulting them about the light coming on, my local Peugeot dealer now tells me the light coming on is not indicative of anything.
Benefits from a good air-filter and exhaust. Head work expensive and not as effective on the S16 as other Peugeot models.
