Peugeot 306 Hatchback 2.0 GTi-6 3d (SR) (1998/S) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Servicing has been cheap. However, it's not cheap on petrol, especially around town. It is best suited to longer journeys.
Costs
Don't have it serviced at the main dealer because they are expensive and offer very poor customer serivce. There are great independants out there which are cheaper, friendlier and will look after you and your car. It's not cost me a lot to look after.

On the road
Driving
The best car I have owned, it's an excellent car for those A-roads. It's rapid and amazing around corners. Will put a smile on your face everytime you overtake... oh it has a poor turning circle so watch out at mini roundabouts.
Performance
It's rapid... and it's a wolf in sheep's clothing as it looks like any other Pugeot but when you want it to, it can make BMWs, Audis and Golfs look clumsy and slow!

Living with it
Reliability
It's never let me down once and it's French - odd huh!
Image
There are loads of Golf GTis and Audi 1.8Ts on the road now so this is different, but it's starting to look old. A car for those who know its potential and don't want to follow the crowd!
Comfort
It's not bad. For its size and age it has all the mod cons, but the driving position could be a lot better, especially for tall people.

Security and Service
Security
If the blipper doesn't work then there's no other way to turn the alarm on. Better to fit your own security.
Service
I've been in to chat with them once about the alarm - show little interest in wanting to help you and are very expensive as well!
