I bought our 306 HDi for my wife. I wanted her to have a safe, reliable car, which is also easy for her to drive. I knew my wife liked the 306 (I used to own several as company cars) and the 306 Meridian is the best of the range.
In the 2 years we've owned it, I have had the car regulary serviced. Apart from new tyre and brake pads all round, the only non service item the car has required is a radiator as the coolant level was dropping very slightly. It only cost for £100 to renew the part, so this hardly broke the bank
Equipment levels are good. Electric windows, remote central locking, automatic wipers, air con, c.d. player, alloy wheels, 1/2 leather seats - everything that is needed in a car. I've upgraded the ICE to included a 10 stack CD player, which sits nicely in the boot.
To drive the car is a delight - I don't Peugeot will ever beat the chassis of the 306. It truly is one of the best handling cars on the road, as well as being a comfortable ride.
You may have guessed by now that I really rate this car. When the car is washed and polished (which I do regulary!!), it looks absolutely superb. My only dilemma is what to replace the car with in the future. The 307 is a complete no-no IMO. The only suggestion my wife has said is a VW Golf, so I'd better start saving my pennies!!!
