1994 Peugeot 306 XSi review from UK and Ireland

Rear brake light bulb blew at 69,000 miles.

Rear brake pads worn out at 65,000 miles all pads replaced with ebc pads and performance disks.

This car is quick and has always been reliable to me it was well maintained by previous owner and came with full Peugeot service history when I bought it with just under 60,000miles on the clock.

Although it's a 2.0 liter it seems to lack abit of power higher in the rev range which is why I made a few modifications of my own.

The cars handerling is good and responsive I'm not to keen on the seat position although its all adjustable and I have tryed many different positions I can't get it right.

I have made a few modifications to my 306 xsi I have a full s/s exhaust straight through with de/cat and panel filter (don't beleave in cone filters they suck in hot air) and have a chipped ECU it has approx 150+ bhp and is a lot faster than in standard form and has no problem keeping up with other hot hatchs ;P its lowered 30mm all round its sitting on 205 1.9 gti alloys and yoko tyres good grip and a front strut brace which made a big difference on the handerling and I had uprated brakes all round as the original seem to lake the meat to stop.

I think the 306 xsi is a good reliable car and quite fast in standard form dispite what I have read about them and they a very good basis for tunning or modding there is a wide range of parts made for them.

I would prefer a gti-6 or the rallye model which might be my next car as I do love the 306 it looks agressive and is a nice car to drive.
