1996 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"A "Cold Hatch""
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering fluid leaks when steering is held on full lock.
General comments?
For the size of the car and engine it is very slow, even my old bigger car with a smaller engined was faster. I've even been overtaken by a standard Vaxhaul Nova 1.4 Sri!
Handling is OK for a standard car, but nothing special. There are a lot of better handling cars for much less money.
