1996 Peugeot 306 XR review from UK and Ireland
"Costly deal, needs improvement"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since acquiring this car:
The plug wires went bad.
Back shock absorbers went dead.
Power steering adjuster broke off.
Hand brake seems almost impossible to adjust to hold the car in position especially on a hill.
Unable to keep to keep the bolt that holds the ball joint in place.
The bottom engine mount is damaged and it is almost impossible to change.
The pedals are too close together, this was not designed with a male driver in mind.
The Peugeot 306 engineers need to make the car easier to repair and more compatibility is required.
This car is often difficult to start and is extremely sluggish when cold.
General comments?
The external shape of the car is good, there is a lot of room on the inside for a small car and the interior looks good.
