1994 Peugeot 306 S16 review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent performance throughout!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Binding rear break callipers causing discs to warp, new discs and callipers fitted.
CAT collapsed & blocked exhaust causing damage to the cylinder head! Not a cheap repair (won't happen again - De-cat system from Peugeot Sport fitted).
Eats tyres and front break pads.
Intermittently operating rev counter located quickly (for once) to a poor connection by the local dealer.
Fuel tank air locking, causing no more than about £15 of fuel at a time to be added to the tank - yet to be cured!!
General comments?
Excellent handling, acceleration, and braking.
Real head turner, stunning styling.
Superb interior design and a good rate of wear - no real loss in condition apart from a slightly faded carpet. The seats still hold you in tight no matter how hard you throw it about!
Excellent fun to drive.
Poor fuel consumption.
Major engine work not cheap (but then is any?)
Serviceing not cheap & fault finding proves to be a nightmare for anyone.
Eats through tyres a bit too quick for my wallets liking.
