Peugeot 306 Saloon (94-99) - Review Review by Parkers on 01 January 1994 The 306 remains one of the very best small family ranges thanks to its excellent handling and ride, sturdy construction and practical interior layout. It is by no means the most modern car in its class, but it's still a contender. The saloon is rarer to find than the hatchback and estate mad often cheaper, too. 2.5 out of 5 Other Peugeot reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 2.5 out of 5 Safety Three-star Euro NCAP rating and ABS was optional on most early cars. Standard across the range from 1999. Passenger airbags standard from around the same time. Effective immobiliser and alarm, but locks can be relatively easily beaten.
