1998 Peugeot 306 GTI-6 review from UK and Ireland
"Satisfying drive and looks good too"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1st and 2nd syncromesh replaced.
3rd and 4th syncromesh replaced.
Water pipe leak to the thermostat housing.
Heater matrix leak.
Front tyres needed replacing every 9000 miles.
General comments?
Excellent sports hatch for day to day use. Has great flexibilty throughout the rev range, however, the gearbox needs to be used frequently due to the short ratios. Great handling - probably the best around for this sort of money.
This car can take quite a bit of stick without too much complaint. I know because mine was driven very hard.
Very rewarding to drive but not as fast as it could / should have been.
