1996 Peugeot 306 xrdt review from UK and Ireland
"A quickish, economical drive, overall 4/5"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Power steering pump has gone
Flipping bulbs need replacing all the time
Water in Oil Filter light comes on now and again for some unknown reason.
General comments?
I have had this car for 5 years now and I have to say it has been a reliable car all of that time.
It failed to start once or twice, once due to glow plugs and then due to an old battery.
Otherwise comfortable seats with good back support.
Quick around the midrange.
Very good economy, I get 600+ miles to a tank.
Dash is a bit boring.
Service intervals make it a bit costly 6000 miles.
