1995 Peugeot 306 XS from UK and Ireland - Comments

Occasionally the electric windows stop working.

Drivers seat is wearing quite badly on the offside bolster and around the handle.

The car used a lot of oil, but now uses a moderate amount due to the dealer fixing the problem.

Passenger door leaked and flooded both nearside foot-wells.

The car has 90 horse power standard, and with the addition of a Rage cat-back system, the car was tested and now has 94 at the wheels.

This car is seriously fast for a 1.6i and even gives BMW's a run for their money, I've even beaten an RS turbo down a local de restricted bypass!

Handling is crisp and clean, the car really sticks to the road around those country lanes.

I was very surprised with the car, and it has reasonable pull in every gear.

I have a 306 XS, and I will agree on some of the stuff you said, it is a good car to drive if a little twitchy in the wet, but I just find it impossible to like, the clutch is so stiff, the gears have the lowest ratios out of anything I have ever driven, the engine pulls well, but it sounds like its about to explode when you push it, the car does 3500 rpm in 5th at 70mph, it uses more petrol than cars offering twice the performance and the only reasons it does go pretty fast is because its so light, put 5 people in it and you will struggle to outrun a fully laden Fiesta 1.3.
