1999 Peugeot 306 GTI-6 from UK and Ireland - Comments

"Excellent performance for pocket money!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing as yet but the previous 306 GTI-6's second home was at the dealership. Faulty airbag switch, warped rear discs, faulty alarm sensors - pretty much the electrics!

General comments?

The best car I have owned and driven. Other cars on the market may have that little bit of power but you really cannot get the same handling/performance on a car for this price. It really is an awesome experience - if you don't mind a few squeaks from the poor build quality.

I would recommend this car to anyone who needs a car for everyday use and who also loves to blast around country roads!!

2001 306XT 2.0 manual - dubbed Rallye. It's a great car to drive if you don't mind numerous squeaks, external imperfections & pinging under light acceleration. Dealer & Peugeot Australia deny the pinging problem exists even though I have an independent report that verifies this from a qualified mechanic who used to work for Peugeot.

Rating:

Drive & handling...9

General quality & detail...4.

My GTi6 pings when poor quality fuel is used. In Australia it pretty much amounts to anything non PULP, or even PULP from non-brand dealers.

BP and Shell seem to be the only ones that perform the best in the 2L Peugeot.

And I have to add that it's a hot... hot hot hatch. I bought it 10 months ago and still look forward to driving it every day.
