1995 Peugeot 306 review from Bulgaria
"Loved it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear suspension had to be replaced after I hit a deep hole and the rod twisted.
Axles had to be replaced.
Bearings had to be replaced.
Headlight bulbs.
General comments?
I loved the way my 306 was handling the road - very stable even in rain - a pleasure to drive. I have put a lot of kilometres and although I am a big guy - 190cm and 95kg - I have always felt very comfortable in my seat.
The car was very good in snow with its front wheel drive - have gone to mountains mid-winter - no problem.
Economical - if driven at 90km/hr I was able to get under 6l/100km, which is pretty good for the age of the car.
It is definitely not a racer, so if you looking for this - go buy a BMW or something else.
I have had to replace axles and bearings, but it was already an old car so I do consider this not out of the ordinary.
Quite difficult to replace one of the headlight bulbs - the one in front of the battery. This is common though - not enough space there.
