1998 Peugeot 306 XS review from UK and Ireland

All the electrics failed in the car at 66k miles had to go to 2 garages ending up in a specialist garage, with their rates.

Wheel bearing gone on rear drivers side.

My head gasket has just gone at 67k miles.

Bush gone on front drivers side.

Exhaust is knocking around.

The engine sounds noisy with a loud metalic sound to it.

Inside the wind noise is terrible.

It has only had two lady owners and so it hasn't been abused.

When I first saw the car I loved it, being 18 at the time and owning a sporty looking car with low insurance and a bigger engine was fantastic.

At first the car was fine it handles fantastic and the bucket seats are the most comfortable I have sat in. it has a good sound system and is a strong solid car that drives very smoothly and will sit comfortably at motorway speeds, the creature comforts are great, it's quite economical, the car is fully loaded with the climate control pack and electrics. But I have to say that the brakes are terrible and have left me in some hairy moments. The performance from stand still is poor, but does eventually get going. But my old 1.2 fiat punto would leave it standing up to 80mph. I have had a lot of things go wrong with this car, but I am still proud of it and I don't want to part with it because it is still a fantastic car to drive, and there is nothing close to it in my price range.
