Diesel filter blocked warning occurred twice.
This car is a lot more responsive than the 306 XRDt I owned previously, the turbo boosts very low down in the rev range which makes it very responsive.
The engine is well worn in, since the car has covered 68000 miles.
The standard speakers are not particularly good quality, they distort quite badly with any level of bass.
Occasionally the car handles very nervously on the motorway, you feel like your constantly trying to keep it in the right lane. Then just as suddenly it seems to correct itself and returns to normal?!
The rear door handles do seem very stiff and awkward to open sometimes.
The interior trim does rattle quite a lot, and, even though I bought this car after 68000 miles, it rattles more than my previous 306 ever did, and that had done 170000 miles!!
On the whole though I really like the car. I love the styling.
I haven't owned it for that long, but I have owned a lot os good and bad cars and I know that this car is a good one...
I have wondered if the erratic handling and the loud noises from the front suspension are connected, Clunk and it handles badly, clunk and it is back to normal. I met a chap in France last year and he had been informed by his dealer that this is not a common problem. My dealer told me the same thing so I guess it must be true!!
The clonking from the front suspension is from the anti-roll bushes. mine went after only 10,000 miles!!!
