Peugeot 306 Estate 1997

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

  • Economy

    Value

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Good looking car for the price.

    Costs

    2 out of 5 2.0

    Something was always needed at a service, so costs were high.

  • On the road

    Driving

    4 out of 5 4.0

    Quality of drive is good, but heavy on tyres (front).

    Performance

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Performance again is good.

  • Living with it

    Reliability

    1 out of 5 1.0

    3 safety call-backs in 2 years, plus back brake pads were worn by faulty calipers. Exhaust after 3 years and alternator belt(??) after 3 years. Far too many problems.

    Nice looking car. Pity about the dealer (Dutton Forshaw) and the engine problems.

    Comfort

    3 out of 5 3.0

    Front seats very comfy, but not too much room in the back (more space in a Fiesta). For a family car, you are stuck as there is no room in the boot after a pushchair is in there.

  • Security and Service

    Security

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Deadlocks are good idea. Alarm should be as standard on the higher specs!

    Service

    1 out of 5 1.0

    Absolutely awful. Couldn't get the colour of the car right as a start, then Peugeot Finance took installments from someone else's bank account. Service department never kept to their times.

  • Problems and Ownership

    Problems

    Engine

    Everything. Fuel seepage, alternator belt... only 36k miles on the clock!

    Other

    Too heavy on tyres (not my driving, honest).

    Ownership

    Did you buy the car new?

    New

    Would you buy the same model again?

    No

    Did you buy from the same manufacturer again?

    No
