Advantages: very quick

Disadvantages: not built well

Peugeot’s 306 GTI is a worthy successor to the 205 GTI. Powered by a 2 litre 167 bhp motor, the Pug can get a serious move on. I owned one for six months and when it was sold at 4000 miles, the engine was still loosening up – providing more power, more smoothly. Peugeot have always made cars that handle beautifully and this is no exception - it’s a fluid affair with direct steering providing excellent feedback. Accommodation is good, with a decent amount of room in the back; equipment levels on the GTI are also good. The downside is build quality, don’t expect German levels. The car feels a bit ‘tinny’ and the doors fail to shut with a solid thump. In fact, on mine – the driver’s door had to be shut hard to close properly. In conclusion, this car is a terrific driver’s car, push it and it will go like stink. Enjoy.
