1994 Peugeot 306 XL review from UK and Ireland
"Don't buy any old 306, this car is only good for short journeys and its still not great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed new clutch, but after so many miles that is expected.
I also had to replace the brakes, other maintenance jobs, but with high mileage its the norm.
Rear torsion bar snapped, but that could be my driving.
Cooling system, car over heats on long journeys.
The "STOP" light comes for no reason, as well as the temperature warning light even though the temperature is low.
General comments?
The seats in this car are very comfortable.
Fairly good handling when the torsion bar was not snapped, now the back end comes out.
I managed to get a 100mph out of it, and it is relatively quick of the mark.
Started every time so far, even when you drive though flooded roads.
