    Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi has fast acceleration and very good handling in the dry. Great var gor money does what its supposed to and more. Could do with 6 speed box but would then need uprated brakes too.

    I have just been doing a bit of reading, as 2 of my friends have bought Peugeot 306's. One of them bought an XSi (the 16v) and another, the GTi-6. I have driven both, and the GTi-6 was not bad, however I was not impressed to much by the XSi, I did expect more from a 2.0 16v. I own a few cars but my daily runabout is a MK3 Astra Sport with KONI's, etc and I fitted a C18XE engine I had laying about (1.8 16v from GSi). Have a few small mods to the engine. But I was surprised just how much slower m ...

    This a very fast car, a few small mods and my 2001 xsi will do 0-62 in 7 seconds and will handle as well as a scooby. I cannot fault the drive in the slightest. This is a great sporty litttle car - I would reccomend to anyone!

    It is fast and good looking on the outside but when it comes to the inside that something that ruins the look.

    xsi 2.0 16v, Pulls like hell even with a seriously slipping clutch!! Getting it done today only got it yesterday (leaking box drive shaft seal) 80,000 on the clock, fpsh, all electrics, 745! and the3 best thing about it is...... 243 fully comp protected! Cheap Cheap Cheap! Buy one of these now, stick a single box decat system on it, get it re-mapped, and hold on tight.

    I love my Peugeot 306 xsi, it looks tidy and is easy to maintain and keep looking nice. I love the acceleration with the xsi, and the fact that they're a low insurance group. Also you don't see many around.

    I have has a 2.0 xsi, they are slow.... and this is a 1998 car! I now have a Golf mk2 gti with 112,000 on the clock, goes like stink! Very fast, *RELIABLE*.. and a better, more simplistic build quality that overules all French cars.... if you decide to get a car, make sure its German.... or Japanese... VEE DUBS are the best and, if you hate them....... read this....... GOLF MK2 GTI.......0-60 7.8 seconds XSI............................0-60 N/A

    I have read the comments on this car much to my amusement. I am not a boy racer, but trust me I can drive and I have had more cars than most. Most of comments respond to comments already made by others. Performance... From 2ltrs and 16 valves I expect more but the grunt is adequate and more importantly is well balanced in accordance with the brakes. To the gentleman who was talking about the Golf, I had a Mk2 GTi 1.6, and the XSI would have made a better MK3 Golf than the Golf did. The Golf ...

    I would recommend this car to anyone. It looks like a standard 306 until you put your foot down or see the small GTi-6 badge on the back. I've seen off lots of higher powered cars, including a Subaru Imprezza (just).

    I bought the Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi car cos my insurance had gone down and wanted something with a bit of grunt. So far I have to say the 306 has done me well. Puts a lot of cars to shame and sounds great past 4 thousand revs. To be honest I did expect a bit more performance for a 2 ltr but it isn't brand new. Couple of problems I have one the speedo seems to stop working when it feels like it. Plus it stalls itself from time to time, I took it to the garage and they haven't got a clue what's wrong ...

    I have no idea what sort of XSi you were driving to give such a bad review. How can you say the car does 0-60 in over 10 secs, I only have the Peugeot 306 2Ltr 8V and I get 0-60 in less than 8 seconds, beats most Golfs off the line. I think you must have had a bad one there. Great car,could be more reliable and better on fuel but you don't buy a 2Ltr and worry about fuel now do you.

    The Peugot 306 is absolutely terrible on fuel, couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding does 0-60 in about 3.5 days. Worst car ever that I have brought only had it about 2 months and thinking of getting rid of the dead horse already and to top that the brakes make a deep groaning noise under heavy braking and the air-con is bad to.

    I have had one for 3 years, and really enjoyed the car. Beware of dodgy Peugeot main dealers... my clutch was a bit sticky at the beginning and they advised me the whole thing needed replacing for over £500. I took it to a local garage, and only the wire needed changing for £30!! Insurance is a bit steep, but if it's a choice between driving a lesser ca,r I would rather pay the difference. Super handling, pretty fast. Personally I like the interior and bucket seats, although a l ...

    I have had my Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi for about 2 months now, I really love it! I can beat a lot of cars off the line and for most of the race as well. Handeling is so good and the braking has saved me a few times in the wet allready. There is lots of room in the boot and in the back, The interior is so nice as well. There is a slight rattle in the dash, and my central locking has stopped working completely. I will probably just have to go to the dealer to get that fixed. Other than that, so far ...

    I have a Peugeot 306 2.0 S16 which is the same as the XSi in europe. I am in Perth WA. Made 94. having read a number of the other reviews it seems that there must be some very poor examples of the S16 [XSi] in UK. Without modification 0 to 100 km in 9.2 secs. I have lights or warnings that dont work when they should or for that matter when they shouldn't. Brakes are outstanding albeit that I have fitted Slotted to help cooling. [temps in Perth at 33c very often]. Other than expected replacement ...
