1999 Peugeot 306 Reviews - Page 6 of 10

Fantastic car. Only had it for 7 weeks, but covered 4000 miles already. Car travels Up-wards of 500 miles a week all motorway driving.

Performance was surprising for not being a turbo diesel and regularly sees up-wards of 55 miles per gallon.

Has tow bar fitted an it has already been used to tow my race car twice (once to Ireland) and it pulls really well and puts my friends 1.8 petrol Ford Mondeo to shame when it is towing.

Torque available form the engine is outstanding pulls well from 60 to 90 miles per hour. Chassis is great and as my girlfriend lives at the end of a nice twisty country road I regularly get to put this fantastic tight responsive chassis through its paces.

Cabin is nice and spacious and can swallow five adults with ease. Boot is more than ample and easily handles two to three large cases.

Only fault is I wish it had a sun roof. And don't you just love that radio control on the steering column.

Like many other owners, cam-belt went at 52000 miles! (still getting repaired)

Front light bulbs replaced, 15 pounds.

After owing a 106 GTi for 3 years and being so chuffed with it, I had to get myself the big brother.

Until now I haven't been at all disappointed with the car. The steering is fantastic, the 6 speed novelty nice and it goes pretty quick too!

The only downsides are the turning circle (makes you look incapable!), and to ignore Peugeot by replacing the cam belt way before the recommended 72000 miles.

I have come across 2 other owners who's cam belts have snapped within 55000 miles.

The battery goes flat everyday and it is not a problem with the alternator and the mechanic cannot find the problem as yet.

I had to go to the dealership to get the code for the radio which cost me £17.63 after the battery went flat.

Panels constantly rattle.

Very tidy car when I purchased it, but generally bland and boring. The constant rattling of the door panels "drives" me insane.

Without making all negative points I can say that it does handle well and the seats are very comfortable, but for the trouble it has given me so far I'd swap it tomorrow. I wanted a newer car that would be more reliable and no hassle - WRONG choice!

No faults found so far.

This car is the best handling hot hatch ever.

The close ratio gearbox makes driving a joy with a fantastic 6th gear for relaxed motorway driving.

This 306 is as good being driven for the weekly shopping or for use on track days.
