One such gentleman said to us ‘What are you looking for?’ almost before we’d switched off our engine so Dave answered him by saying ‘A car’ – the salesman never cracked his face!
Anyway we looked at all the second hand cars and some of the new ones ... Read review

...She’s a V reg Peugeot 306 1.4 in Ocean Blue, so even the colour was one that we liked.
It was May 2000 when we first saw the car and the date of registration was the previous December which is why there was about £2,000 knocked off the asking price, as the new registration letter was about to become available.
Even better was the fact that she only had nine miles on the clock! And we got a discount card to get 10% off spares when we purchased ... ...buying this car for an instant. Dave loves to drive it, I am happy and comfortable as the passenger (and map-reader), there’s plenty of room for mom and dad in the back and there’s plenty of luggage space too. If we need to move something bigger than usual we can split the back seat one third or two thirds or lie it completely flat and there’s a LOT of room in the hatch back then! Add all this to the fact that she only uses about ...

Advantages: Cheap, Economy, Reliable (ish), Pinninfarina Design, Space, Disadvantages: Expensive to repair, Awful window winding up mechanism, Low quality engine seal
...in red and comes with Peugeot alloy wheels. The standard car is a beauty and this no coincidence as it was designed by Italian car design house Pininfarina, yup you guessed it the people that design Ferraris. The car lines are sharp and sexy and it looks good still even though it was launched more than a decade ago.
The car is amazingly roomy inside and in common with most French cars is a very comfortable car. The interiors are of a good quality ... ...every 6 months though a Peugeot engines tend to misfire if not done.
Never ever underestimate the coolant level as it can turn into a heat casket nightmare. This won't be cheap to repair even though it costs £30 for the part is £200 for labour as it is a pain to get to it, courtesy of good but awkward mechanics that French and Japanese cars enjoy. Not much room for DIY either.
The windscreen wash tank tend to clog up a bit so should be thoroughly ...

Advantages: Economical, Cheap Insurance, Cheap to buy 2nd hand Disadvantages: A Little dated now, but not much
I have had my Peugeot 306 for almost a year now, and have had absolutely no complaints, apart from the fact that the windscreen got chipped on the first day (Thank you Mr. Micra, wherever you may be), and it now has a crack across 1/3 the screen on the passenger side mind you, and also a nasty knock a month into driving it. (Courtesy of Mr. Anglian Water, thank you too!) So apart from a frantic and painful first month of new ownership I have had ... ...3rd hand! My Peugeot was one of the first 306’s to be made, so just missed out on the standard sunroof and electric windows, but I am not in the slightest bit bothered, as I got mine for a very reasonable price of £2100, with a mere 56,000 miles on the clock, a CD player thrown in for free, perfect service history, and a funky blue gear stick left from the previous owner! Not a problem as my favourite colour is blue!
The good thing about the ...

Advantages: good road handling.I feel very safe driving it. spacious, good looking Disadvantages: very expensive to repair and maintain, gear changes, brakes, uncomfortable seats on long journeys
I purchased my M reg Peugeot 306 petrol 1.4 XN 15 months ago after being attracted to it by it's good looks and rather "squat" appearance. Although not the most exciting looking car around, it definately has a certain something that suggests that underneath it all, there is a bit of a beast waiting to get out. And when i first drove it, it did not dissapoint. It clings to the road like nothing I have driven before (and believe me there have been ... ...handling is excellent. since owning it, i have driven it on about every road possible, from windy country lanes in icy conditions to the cramped roads of the city and it handles itself beautifully everytime. I have never once felt unsafe behind the wheel of the 306, thus i have been able to relax whilst driving and have a bit of fun with it. And a lot of fun it has been!!! Its nippy and copes with long journeys superbly. It happily cruises along ...

This incredibly popular Peugeot is now starting to show its age, particularly since the arrival of the 206. Dynamically excellent and keenly priced, the 306 is still a very sound buy, but it does need a replacement soon. And a little more interior space. The 306 suffers from dull, angular interiors and poor rear leg room.
On the plus side, build quality is decent and the boot is practical and spacious. The ride and handling are excellent, with accurate ...

I currently drive a Peugeot 106 Quiksilver special edition and I have to say that it really is an outstanding car and a great value one to boot.
Obviously this opinion is supposed to cover the whole 106 range which I do think is good overall, however... more
I have owned my Gti-6 now for little over 1 year and I can say that it is most involving drive I have ever experienced. I have therefore been compelled to write this review and buyers guide in the hope that it can be of help to potential buyers and to... more
Since my eyes were drawn to these in Comet, I have never been able to get out of my head of what a great idea it is. Not everyone can display all of their photos they have, buying loads of frames, finding the room to hang your photographs, and even doing more
