1998 Peugeot 306 GTI-6 review from UK and Ireland
"Great hot hatch let down by patchy build quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet but it is all just about hanging in there. The whole feel of the car is that of one about to self-implode. Servicing is not cheap for a hot hatch with dealers unhelpful.
Large wind noise from the passenger side.
General comments?
Good handling, the best engine with good low down torque and upper end as well. Gearbox is notchy and a bit syrupy. The spare wheel is located under the car and will be stolen if you don't tie it down or put it in the boot.
Overall a great car, if only the build quality was better.
