1996 Peugeot 306 XR review from UK and Ireland
"Very pleased overall, still exciting to drive with excellent reliability"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric Window passenger side needed to be replaced.
Uneven idling fault, this was fixed by fiddling with the control box that connects to the carburetor.
Petrol Tank sender unit failed and had to be replaced.
General comments?
Handling and comfort are excellent.
Seems quite heavy on fuel when driving around town.
Very reliable.
