1996 Peugeot 306 XLDT review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace a drive shaft as the intermediate bearing failed. I did this myself and the drive shaft cost £70. Other than that it has needed normal service items only (Battery/Tires)
General comments?
I am amazed how much I like my 306. It was purchased as a cheap car to run. It has lived up to this as I have had little cost and by trying (hard!) I can approach fuel consumption of 60mpg. With the 60 liter tank that gives a big range.
On top of that it's a bit of a cracker to drive. It likes cornering and is still comfortable on long runs.
The XL only has an electric sunroof, no other extras which means there is less to go wrong.
