Nothing major really, just normal wear and tear.
Engine goes forever, still feels as its only just getting started!
This car is very comfortable and very enjoyable on long journeys.
It handles very well indeed.
The brakes (disc brakes all round) are the best I have ever had on a car with brilliant stopping power.
It is reasonably good on fuel if not thrashed. I use £15 a week doing 180 miles.
Performance. Very torquey, if you pull away quick you will just spin until you get traction, but I feel it is not that quick. For example in 2nd and 3rd. An example of this is when I had my foot to the floor in 3rd and a Ford Puma was still up my boot. Unless there is something wrong with my car? Pulls up to the speed limit reasonably quickly. I just expected it to be quicker than a Puma in 3rd gear than that.
Insurance is a bit steep (group 10), unsure as to why as it is the same engine used in the 306 DTurbo which is group 5! Although it does leave 306 DTurbo's for dead!
You are right to say it has the same engine as the Peugeot 306 but the Volcane has a completely different diesel pump which changes the power delivery, hence the better mid-range urge.
I doubt there is anything wrong with your car, it may feel quick because of the torque, but a Puma will be a faster car as it has 120 bhp over the 90 of the TD.
