1998 Peugeot 306 D Turbo review from Malta
"Great ride and roadholding other than that.."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electronics are the thing I could really complain about.
Heaters changed twice.
Solenoid. Car wouldn't start!
Gauges not working Fuel speedo and rev counter Changed fuse, but don't last long.
Fan is currently not working either.
Passenger side of dashboard always falls.
General comments?
Apart from the electronics and poor turning radius the car is not so bad.
Major plus point is the road holding. Handles great for a front wheel drive car. Definately best in class in this area.
The ride is great!
The engine is 92 bhp. However the car is very heavy and therefore fuel economy is not that great. 35 mpg max in city driving and performance is sluggish especially 0-60 Would expect much better from a 19 turbo diesel engine.
Ah yes I forgot this car has week breaks Be carefull.
Seats are very pleasing to the eye however tend to get uncomfortable on long rides.
