1995 Peugeot 306 D Turbo review from UK and Ireland

The seats have started to wear a little. Some of the instrument illumination lights in the dashboard have gone out. The speedo needle vibrates a little at anything above 50 mph and both the remote control key fobs have broken. Also, the wiring in the doors has broken due too bad design resulting in failure of the central locking which meant hours of patching it back up again. Apart from that, nothing really apart from general stuff like wishbone bushes, track rod ends, etc.

For its age, this is an outstanding car. It handles like a dream and the insurance is unusually reasonable (group 5). It's quick off the mark and handles motorways fine. Mine has done 113,000 miles and the engine is still like new. The electrics are a bit cheap, but that's a general problem with Peugeot's. Generally, running costs are low. It's still on its first set of brake disks and is mechanically sound apart from a rear axle bush which needs replacing. I do a lot of the servicing work myself and have found the main dealer to be extremely helpful and have found geniune parts to be a lot cheaper than from other car manufacturers.
