2002 Peugeot 306 Meridian review from UK and Ireland
"Difficult to beat for all round performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No major problems.
General comments?
I first had a 306HDi Meridian from new when they first came out in 1998 a T reg - great car with excellent performance and economy.
Changed it early 2002 for an estate Meridian Hdi
Now bigger fatter alloys, electric windows all round and CD player in dash - still same great performance and economy 53 mpg - pity you can't fit the new engine in it.
Apart from a spell of engine management light coming on due contact fault with clutch cable, the a/con needing re-gassing - both dealer jobs and I changed the discs and pads 'cos its sooo easy to DIY, I cannot fault it - been to the Alps and back utilising the performance envelope (!) and still managed 50mpg over 1800 miles. Will be keeping it for quite a while.
