1995 Peugeot 306 UK and Ireland review from UK and Ireland
"Good car but it's turned out to be an expensive ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Numerous brake system problems - and very expensive one's at that.
New cooling fan required.
Hates damp and refuses to start completely if it's rained all night.
Even after pointing the problem out pre-service, if it is damp or very cold there's a lot of jolting until the engine warms up.
I had a VW Polo for 12 years and never spent that sort of money on it - plus it was a much stronger vehicle.
General comments?
The car does handle well, is nippy and comfortable.
Never had any major engine problems and the original battery is still going strong.
Pity the other problems overshadow this.
