1995 Peugeot 306 S16 review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Second gear and synchro replaced after 1000km, ECU replaced, body welded to stop creaking noise, engine fault light illuminating randomly, sunroof replaced, rear wiper intermittently works, sensor for climate control replaced, receiver for infra red remote replaced, minor oil leaks from engine around oil filler.
General comments?
Excellent handling and ride - pity about the brakes.
Australian models seem to be detuned and lacking power.
Once initial problems fixed has been an excellent reliable car for long trips.
Local dealer in Adelaide was next to useless at repairing faults.
