1994 Peugeot 306 S16 review from UK and Ireland
"A flawed diamond"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Dipstick blown out at high revs (suspect pressure build up in sump), indicator relay clicks constantly, replacement exhaust, wheel bearing replaced, two condensers needed replacing, very heavy clutch feel.
General comments?
Despite all its faults I'm still going to keep the car as it has provided more smiles per mile than any other to date. Grip and handling are both excellent and once the engine gets over 4000rpm it flies. It's a pity that it goes through tyres and brake pads so quickly.
