1998 Peugeot 306 DTurbo review from UK and Ireland
"Great buy with performance and economy to match!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
- Classic airbag light problem. Eventually I'll have to get the connectors off and solder the wires together.
- Interior fan stopped briefly then a week later decided to get going again :-s.
- Roof leaked, still unsure where from though. Tried the aerial and the sunroof drainage ports.
General comments?
I used to own a Peugeot 205 GRD and decided that the Dturbo 306 was a good upgrade. So far so good! It gives great performance compared to the 205 and also sticks to the road like glue. The only downside to this is the MPG, I used to get 50+ with the 205 but am yet to get past 42Mpg with the 306.
The interior is also much better; the sports seats are comfy and supportive and the trim hasn't yet started to fall off or squeak as most Peugeot's do!
