Peugeot 306 Cabriolet (94-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The classy 306 cabriolet was the drop-top of choice for the mid-nineties sophisticate. Its Pininfarina-styled body looks classy and exudes a south-of-France charm. Not that many buyers are trading up to the 307CC or Renault Megane CC, prices are becoming increasingly realistic. Go for a 2.0-litre if you can, it's a more enjoyable drive than the 1.6.

Comfort

Rear legroom is adequate, as is headroom, but tall passengers are never quite at ease on a long trip. Seats are reasonably comfy (more adjustable on latter cars) and the ride quality is still good, even when fully laden. Considerable road and engine noise at speed. The hood is insulated and has a heated glass rear screen.

Practicality

Electric roof mechanism eats into the storage space, but looks good when the metal opens to swallow the hood. Interior space good for its age, but overtaken in 1998 when Ford's Focus moved the goalposts. The choice of interior trim and fabrics could be better quality and they don't stand up to heavy long-term use.

Behind the wheel

306's design dates back to the early Nineties, so the fascia design and choice of materials doesn't compare well to today's cars, but everything is logically laid out and easy to find. Driver's seat is comfy, but taller drivers need more headroom (especially with a sunroof fitted).
