Peugeot 306 Saloon 1.8 SR 4d (SR) (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
If it wasn't so expensive to maintain it would have been a bargain in terms of features.
Costs
This car has cost me a fortune in repairs. Virtually all of the major parts have needed replacing or repairing. It is almost not the same car that I originally bought!

On the road
Driving
Drives well. Feels powerful.
Performance
Decent MPG.

Living with it
Reliability
Always starts first time, however prepare yourself to be astonished every time you get it MOTd. Has passed 1st time once in 7 years.
Image
I think it gives a smarter image than the hatchback. Didn't buy it for a lifestyle indicator, but as a reliable car. In fact I got neither.
Comfort
Drive is comfortable for passengers, but interior build quality poor (rattles) so no feeling of luxury.

Security and Service
Security
I have to keep the burglar alarm switched off as it goes off at random times. Keypad a good feature.
Service
The Peugeot service centres are all very friendly, presumably as I pay for their Mediterranean holidays.
