Peugeot 306 2.0 convertible

With my husband fast approaching 40 and having to young children (4 & 6), we decided that it was time to shed some of the mumsy and dadsy image we had aquired with the children, and upgrade our image. So, we decided to get ourselves a sporty type of car. Off to the showrooms we went, with the kids in tow. First we tried the Nissan 200 SX, no leg room in the back for children, let alone adults, next we tried the Renault Megan convertible, again no leg room and so it went on, until we saw the Peugot 306 convertible. "Nice looking car" I said. So, with car seat we put the children in. It was a ... more

I had my car in June and as we drove off we heard a rattle so that was its first trip to the garage, something was wrong with the exhaust. I had a month of fun with it, putting the roof up and down with the flick of a switch is a doddle and my three children fit easily into it.

I then had a re-call ... more

But mine is now nearly 10 years old so i expect some upsets as i restore it over time but i love it and i use the dealer in carlisle for most of the work as so far they seem too know what their doing. Its good handling and fast and i will be super ... more

The idea of a covertable peugot thank looks more like a hatch back than a real covertable will take a lot of getting used, especially because it is a peugeot; not the most sporty of cars. However, like anyone who has had a peugeot will tell you, you can run them into the ground. I have had very little trouble with mine. The handling is good, comfort, space, fuel economy and saftey are all great. However if it is style and real speed you are interested in, then this is not for you. As far as "covertable people" go this is not a car to look "cool" in, with the typical outdate early ninties 90 ... more
