1999 Peugeot 306 LX review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and nasty"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine mount.
Door handle will not spring back.
Electric windows are getting a bit lazy.
Generally the car is not wearing very well.
General comments?
This car is the most expensive and the newest car I have ever bought and it is also the worst.
This is a tin box on wheels, the worst car I have ever owned.
As for handling, it goes around corners OK that is if there are no bumps in the road and when you hit a bump or pothole the whole car feels as if it has left the road.
Build quality! There is none I sold a 14-year-old BMW for £150 and it was twice the car that the Peugeot is. Everything rattles and feels cheap.
I bough this car because I do allot of miles and needed to economise, but after 3 months of misery I'm getting rid! Back to petrol and a 10-year-old quality car (3 series, Celica, Prelude, Impreza, etc.).
Take my advice if you are thinking of getting one of these cars for economic reasons give up smoking, take a packed lunch to work, give up the booze, grow your own weed, do anything to save money, but do not buy one of these Biscuit tins!
