Peugeot 306 Hatchback (1993 - 2001) 1.4 Meridian 5d (AC) (98) (1999/T) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Its a typical first car for a young driver but looks a lot better in my opinion in comparison to the focus,astra, megane etc

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

There is a 306 on every street corner so it doesn't generate too many responses. They think its looks nice overall

Would you buy this car again and why?

i would want something different after the 306 but it has been a good reliable car and a fun drive in the time ive owned it

What are you likely to buy next?

just graduated, so will first need a decent job with a decent pay before considering something different. Will probably look at an alfa romeo 147 or bmw compact.

Didn't buy from a dealer

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£1,000

When did you buy the car?

February 2009

Did you get a good deal and why?

the car had 87,000 miles with a fsh and 6 months mot and 7 months tax which for £1000 wasn't too bad

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

had a full service history and was in good condition. The 306 is also one of the last few good looking peugeots.

What was the dealer like?

What's it like to drive?

Very nice handling and ride were the main reasons i bought it. However the 1.4 is underpowered when going up hill especially when carrying passengers. 1.6 maybe a better option though it has higher road tax.

What's it like to park?

very easy to park

Have you had any problems with the car?

The car has been very reliable for the 1 and half years, never failing to start. Only problem was required a change of clutch which cost £180 from mr clutch

What's most practical about your car?

Good boot space and rear seats fold (almost) flat. Theres also electric mirrors which can be useful.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

half leather seats and air con. Meridian model is the best as it has all the extras.
