1995 Peugeot 306 XLD review from UK and Ireland

"Great first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator died, replaced it.

Heater matrix also leaked, but put a seal on it.

Backbox fell off, got a new one.

Other than that, just small faults due to wear and tear - seats are ripped, some interior light issues, but nothing that could really be a fault.

General comments?

I've only had this car a few days, but wanted to write a review anyway. It's my first car - before this I drove my mum's Ford Fiesta, 1996, 1.25 engine.

Compared to that, I prefer this car. It's almost impossible to stall, has power steering and a nice electric sunroof, the handling is excellent, and it's very comfortable despite the worn out seats.

The sound system is also excellent - standard speakers, but with an aftermarket (cheap) CD player.

As you can see I've had some issues, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a car of this age and mileage. The performance is adequate, again with the mileage I wouldn't expect it to be great. The car seems happier around 60 rather than 70, but it feels safe at all speeds. Engine is economical, have done 200 miles on about 1/4 of a tank.

Overall a great car really, especially for a first car.

A fine car if you can find an unabused example that wasn't built on a Monday or Friday!
