Peugeot 306 Estate (97-02) - Review

Review by Parkers on
The 306 estate makes a good case for itself as a cost-effective and practical solution to everyday family motoring. The load area is a decent size and there's a wide range of engines and trim levels. And as it was launched in 1997, there's a wide range of plates, too, making it affordable to most budgets.

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.

Practicality

The estate looks good and has a really useable amount of loadspace.

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).
