1994 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland
"Troublesome, but you can't help loving it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wishbone bushes.
Cat back system twice (second time cat inc)
Radiator burst 118000 miles.
Lots of tyres and brakes.
Tailgate c/l motor seized.
Quite bad oil leak (yet to be fixed)
General comments?
All problems have been wear & tear related, although parts seem to be a bit pricey even through discount parts such as GSF.
Could do with a bit more poke, but good for general overtaking - good top end acceleration 70-100mph.
Due to wrap around windscreen water from rain/washers pours into cabin through open front windows.
Petrol light comes on during cornering when tank nearly half full.
Despite being 5 door rear leg room requires front seats to be moved forward in order to carry passengers in back.
Black interior makes cabin temperature higher when hot, no a/c (whimper)!
Other than oil leak engine has been very reliable.
