1996 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"A car built of Lego would be more reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car is total crap, the build quality would be outshone by Datsun. I have had so far:
The door lock knob on the inside fell off.
All the foam in the drivers seat has shifted so you are sitting on a metal bar.
The car drinks more oil than a medium sized oil tanker.
The alloy on all 4 wheels has begun to peel off.
The clock has stopped.
The ABS light keeps coming on.
The windscreen wipers have mental fits now and then.
The automatic choke doesn't always work so on a cold day it won't start.
The dealers did not stamp the service book when I had it serviced, when questioned they said they do not trust their staff to enter a customers glove box without permission!!!!!!!
Please don't make the mistake I did, my car is under a full Peugeot extended warranty and of the above listed faults, only the wipers were fixed under the warranty.
General comments?
It's crap.
