1998 Peugeot 306 Dturbo S review from UK and Ireland
"Don't underestimate it because it's a diesel. A great young person's car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well to start off with it's a really bad starter in the morning. I think its firing on 3 cylinders at first. It also shakes on the motorway at 70; however I think this is the tracking.
Doors are also creaking, but you expect this with a 10 year old car.
General comments?
Firstly the car is pretty quick of the line; 0-60 in 11 seconds.
It is especially good on the motorway.
It's a noisy stater in the morning, and the interior is very dark and full of rattles. However it does include sports seats and is very comfy on long journeys.
The car is brilliant. It will do 45 mpg easily and will give boy racers a run for the money.
It's cheap on insurance (Group 5) and great for your first or second car.
Its getting on a bit now, but it still looks great and handles superb. There's little body roll also in the corners.
It's also easy to tune to get more power and torque.
