1996 Peugeot 306 XLDT review from UK and Ireland
"Nippy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rattles in the drivers door.
Indicator sounder clicks intermittently for no reason.
Rev counter works intermittently.
Doors are generally squeaky.
When setting off normally in 1st gear sometimes the car accelerates away far too quickly (scary).
The starter solenoid has stuck once and the car refused to start, probably a sign of things to come.
General comments?
Fairly reliable, 50mpg at 2500 rpm motorway driving (tedious).
Too small for a six footer, seats are not really comfortable for journeys over 1 hour.
