What Car? says
For It's stylish and practical
Against The ride and handling are poor
Verdict
It has four seats and it's fairly elegant, but it hasn't aged well
Go for… 2.0 SE
Avoid… 1.6 auto
- 1. Camshaft seals and cam belts must be changed every three years or 36,000 miles
- 2. The hood is electrically operated, so make sure the mechanism works smoothly and the hood itself is free of leaks
- 3. The heated glass rear window is better that the plastic ones on the 306’s contemporaries
- 4. The clutch can break if not checked. If it feels too stiff, it probably needs attention
- 5. Opt for the post-’97 vehicles and stick to the 2.0-litre petrol engine
