Peugeot 306 1.6

I used to have a peugeot 306 1.4 P reg mark 1 on about 120k miles. It was a great car, but bashed to bit falling apart around an engine that purred like a kitten. So when i wanted another reliable car I pursued the 306 again. I got my original P reg in 2002 for £1500 this time I was looking for an R reg Mark 2 at about 2 grand. My friend informed me of a 2001 X reg mark 3 at £2500, i went to look expecting high mileage. It was a gorgeous Meridian ...
...a 1.6 engine and full peugeot service history, and an MOT. No complaints at all from Terry Mason car sales, mellor street rochdale lancs. Anyway this thing flies. The 0-60 time is pretty fast, havent actually timed it yet but it goes some. The service interval is about 20,000 miles too, so for high mileage people it is a good car to have. Also it has a 60 litre petrol tank, I find i can do a Manchester to Glasgow M6 run, and back again on a single ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

I bought my car from an independant dealer for about £3500 which is not bad for the condition it was in, had fair mileage for its age just over 41,000 miles. My car is 9 years old when i bought it, it was near enough mint condition only had to get a replaced battery as the car didnt start but was courtesy of the dealer. It is an Automatic Gearbox, chose this as I prefer driving Auto and it was not bad considering that the car had 100BHP, I advise ...
...pleasure rather than the standard 90BHP. Now to discuss in a little bit more detail: Safety: My Car came standard with 4 airbags two at the front and two just beside the front seats, I would personally vouch for the safety as quite safe as i had an accident 1 year after the purchase of my car, where it was slippery, I went into the back of another car as I was heading for a roundabout, my bonnet curled inwards and my front bumper and lights were ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

The Peugeot 306 1.6XS is a three-door model. I am reviewing a 1996 "pre-facelift" model. I was looking to replace my Ford Escort 1.6Si with something of a similar size that was fun to drive. I was after a car that was reasonably nippy, had cheap insurance and would be reliable for a weekly commute between Kent and Cornwall for several months. One of the cars I had in mind was the Peugeot 306, and specifically the 1.6XS model - an average model ...
...now been solved, although a Peugeot dealer failed to correct the first dim-dip relay failure. - a fairly continuous rattle from the electric sunroof frame - usually solved by sliding the sunroof open a bit, closing it, then slamming the lid shut, and then not driving on a bumpy road. If I leave the lid open it will rattle unless the sunroof is open too. - the engine idle is a bit irregular, sometimes cutting out especially in cold weather - it ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

I had a Peugeot 106 1.1 XN up to about a year ago and then I gave it to a friend of mine. So I started looking for a new car. I always wanted a 306 as my brother’s friend had one and I liked the look of it. So I started looking through the auto trader magazine and Website. I thought I struck gold when a saw a 306 XS 1.6 44K mileage for only £3500. So I got my mum to drive me to the garage took it for a test drive and bought it instantly. What ...
...very attractive car. I t has colour coded bumpers and looks a lot beefier than the usual 306's. It comes with alloys as standard and has semi bucket seats. The inside of the car is very comfortable in the front as well as the back but if you have friends who are very tall I would put them in the front. The engine is the same as the saxo VTR so it is very powerful for such a low insurance car. I think it’s a group 5 so it’s very cheap for the power. ...

...£80, do not go to Peugeot for this to be done, they charges you 4 hours labour and in total it comes to around £250 for a cam belt changes, choose your friendly local garage instead. This car has an electric sun roof and electric windows and a good four speaker stereo with steering wheel remote. The seats are the best feature of the interior as they really hold you in when cornering, and give a lot of support to your back. The boot is very large ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

The 306 has always impressed me as a good looking, value for money car. The value is increased at the moment with some retailers offering free insurance! To relatively young drivers this can resemble a sizeable cost saving. The ride is smooth as a result of the well engineered suspension. There are a number of engine sizes, but I would recommend the 1.6 meridian which retails around the 12k mark. Overall the performance on the 1.6 is good for a car ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

...ever car was a 1.9diesel Peugeot 306. Now i have a 1.6 Meridian 306. I first fell in love with them when my next door neighbour bought a light blue 306. It looked brilliant in everyway and from every angle. I got my first 306 1.9Diesel when i was 17. It was a super first car, cheap insurance and tax wasn't too bad either. It had really comfy seats, Electric Windows, Electric Sunroof, 4 Speaker sound system. Remote Central Locking PAS, stereo remote ...
...could sit at 100mph comfortably. The only bad thing i can think of about a diesel 306 is that it sounds like a tractor! I had it for around 6 months before i smashed it up(all fault of my own). I hit a car at around 40mph. Thanks to my great car my passenger and I walked away with no injuries at all. Not even a Scratch. Now after a lot of working and saving up, I purchased a 2nd hand 1.6Meridian 306. WOW! What a car. Super Quick in comparison to ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

...am now on my 4th Peugeot 306 which may seem crazy but I just can't get enough of them, this will be my last......I think. The reason for my crazy buying of this car is that every now and then I think that perhaps I should try a different car as this can't be the best there is, I then go looking everywhere for my next dream car and find myself falling in love with another 306. I have the xs version which is just amazing, it has sports seats which ...
...immobiliser and a very cool Peugeot key. I haven't had very good service by the Peugeot dealer as they have always managed to break something when I take it in, but that may just be the one garage and the others may actually know what they're doing. The engine seems very sound and doesn't make a lot of noise, just the normal filling up of oil and water and your good to go. I would recommend this car to anyone that is willing to fix the normal ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

I have this car, i've had it for approximately 10 months, and although it was second hand, it was in pristene condtition when i purchased it, with only 40k on the clock. within 2 months problems occured, i had to have entirely new brake system on it, the fan and timer belt needed to be replaced, and to my surprise upon a heavy rainfall, my passenger footwell filled with water. Apparently either door seals or thegasket around the wing mirror are extremely prone to leakage. Aside from that everything is brilliant with this car. cheap to insure and economical ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

...used to own the 1.6 Peugeot 306. On a Y plate, it looked good, inside and out, was comfortable, reliable and was pretty nippy. Half leather seats were good for wiping clean and the silver trim looked really good. Air-con, alloys, fogs etc were all nice little touches that made it into a really nice car. I had the 5 door version which meant it was really accessible, and with the included isofix it was easy for putting baby seats in, and safe enough ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

...may know, I have a Peugeot 309 that let me down and died on me and have been virtually car-less for some weeks now. Fed up with diesels breaking down I decided to go back to petrol cars but I REALLY do like Peugeots. This is not a new model, in fact probably to some people, this would seem to be a banger, but it was all that I could afford and bearing in mind its age, is in pretty good condition, which draws me to the conclusion that if the Peugeot ...
...use, then there has to be something behind its claims to solidity. WOW!!! What a nippy little car!! I love this car!! Its very responsive in every way. Its clean and tidy and its got loads of fiddly extra's that I am not used to, like electric windows and power steering. For those not accustomed to power steering, it is worth noting that it responds faster than normal steering and it is just a matter of getting yourself accustomed to it. I like ...

This is the car that me and my wife bought for her to drive as I had already own a 306 1.9td and loved the car. She fell in love with the car on first sight, it a great blue colour and looks fantastic. Inside its so comfotable and there is plenty of room in the back for most people, I am 6 foot and find it ok to sit in the back even on a long trip. There is plenty of boot space too. As for the reliablity it is pretty good, we have had the car for ...
...fault with the automatic gear box and the power steering not working. The running costs are reasonable but if you are thinking of getting a 306 I would go for a diesel model instead of a petrol one as the diesel engines are so good. I would love to buy another 306 for myself in the future but would go for the 2.0 HDI which I have heard great things about. ...

Review of Peugeot 306 1.6

...the mechanic and to the Peugeot garage, it is still there. A common fault I am led to believe. As my car was brought to the UK from Cyprus, various parts are different fromt those in the UK and have to be ordered in every time. Shouldn't all cars and parts be standard. The bumpers are plastic, and do not withstand hits very well. Temperature control is a great thing but the air conditioning seems to come on by itself, and fuel consumption seems ...
