1998 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"Highly recommended - though splash out on GTI-6 if you can afford it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioning leaks and is too expensive to fix.
Front fog lights have leaked and the reflectors have rusted, and now consequently don't work.
Air bag warning light flashes intermittently.
Failed MOT on seized rear brake compensator - cost £200 to fix.
Front suspension coil spring broke at 95k costing £200 to replace both.
General comments?
Excellent handling and pretty quick too. Great fun to drive and turns head.
Creaky interior which rattles a lot.
Easy to dent - mine has loads down each side from people opening car doors onto it - my old Golf did not suffer from this.
