Only a year old when bought and second hand market seems to hold value quite well.

On the road
Driving
Smooth runner. Very quiet ride. Handles potholes very well.
Performance
Great off the mark. Can handle its own against a Golf GTi. Top end speeds are suprising, I have it up to 124mph. Corners great, thanks to Eagle F1 tires.

Living with it
Reliability
Has never let me down. Yet.
Image
I love the 306 shape. Great lines and low ride gives a really sporty look. Standard GTi-6 alloys are great .
Comfort
Nothing special on the inside. Interior is a little dated, but still maintains a sporty feel.

Security and Service
Security
Been left in a few dodgy areas over night and no problems. Deadlock does help a lot.
Service
Excellent service from Peugeot every time.

Problems and Ownership
Problems
Engine
Looks enormous under hydraulic bonnet. A bit of a pig to get two hands on the Oil filter. Sound construction and idles very quietly. Can be noisy when pushed, but still sounds great.
Other
Great on insurance, as only group 6. Perfect for visual modifications. Spares can be a little bit of a pest to find exact matches.
Ownership

Used
