1998 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Gearbox had to be replaced (under warranty) after approx. 6,000 miles due to failure of syncromesh on 1st, 2nd and reverse gears. Nothing else major.
General comments?
A practical and sporty car. Great handling, decent performance, very comfortable on long journeys. Reasonable fuel consumption - I usually get 33-35 mpg. Good level of equipment.
Overall performance is very good - engine has plenty of torque, car handles well and has loads of grip. Can be great fun to throw about on a twisty B-road that you know well. But for a real laugh, go to a track day - ruins the front tyres but well worth it.
Only drawbacks - rattly dashboard and a couple of other rattles from inside the car, also windnoise can be irritating.
