Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Great value for money - you could do a lot worse!
Costs
Bought new at a great price, then Peugeot gave me an extra loyatly discount too! Low insurance, great MPG, lowest car tax if bought form March 01 (which mine was). Service costs fair, but try different dealers - they all seem to charge different.

On the road
Driving
Absolute pleasure to drive - great all rounder.
Performance
Wow. But to make the car really lively and more drivable (and safer) get it Superchipped. Well worth it. Leaves petrol cars stood. Torque is now immense + 115bhp (proven on rolling road).

Living with it
Reliability
Had a few intial problems with a flywheel problem - production line problem - and throttle pot sometimes goes iffy, but Mr Peugeot kindly repaired all free of charge. Otherwise no other problems.

After owning 2 306 GTi-6 - you couldn't tell much difference with this - everyone still looks and I keep it in fine fettle too!
Comfort
Great ride and handling - I believe it's a bit cramped in the rear, but I never sit there!

Security
Had Thatcham 1 upgrade fiited - remote deadlocks - immobiliser etc.

Had major problems with first GTi-6, but Peugeot admitted defeat and gave me another. Not had any problems since - always very accomodating.
