Peugeot 306 Hatchback 1.9 D Turbo 3d (1995/M) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
D-Turbos have kept their value well and hence 2nd hand prices are often artificially high
Costs
Cheap parts and pretty easy to maintain with a Haynes manual. Just don't do the sump gasket!

On the road
Driving
What can I say, puts a big smile on your face through the corners. Not so stiff you feel every bump though. Good sporty handling.
Performance
Excellent for a diesel! Test drive one A.S.A.P! Will smoke (literally) most 1.6 petrols out there and give quite a few sporty things a run for their money! Can be tuned in excess of 130 BHP

Living with it
Reliability
Not let me down. Keep well serviced and change the oil regularly and you should be fine.
Image
Still turns heads, but some boyracer image on tarted up models
Comfort
Sporty seats, but not the most comfortable in the world. Usual pug fairly bland interior

Security and Service
Security
Ok, apparently door locks easy to cheat (not had any problems myself), but immobiliser and alarm have kept it on my drive
Service
Ok
