Peugeot 306 2.0 16v GTi-6

I got this engine to go into my 1.4 306, to me this engine is brilliant im always modifying car etc but this is the best mod ive done totally worth the money. This engine can take some hammering never broke down on me when dragging on the strip to me when driving it you can feel wot the engine is doing plus its mostly mechanical not like these modern engines where its all electronic. down side to this engine some places stopped doing parts for it or parts really hard to get new bits I carnt talk about the car itself cause its a 1.4 I have not got the gti-6 its self but seem them and the are stunning I always wanted one but im only 19 so could never afford one so bought just the engine gearbox loom ecu etc to go in mine but ya stunning cars in. The petrol right some people say it can be betterya there are right but it is manageable I fill my tank fo brim and can get from leeds to Winchester (work) and still have just under half a tank and on the way down im racing folk so to me thats not bad the engine pulls from 1st gear to last it keeps up to most things on road audi s3, bmw (some lol), focus st, Honda s2000 and few other things. Love taking my mum out she craps herself innit bless her scared pretty much everyone whos got in the car with this engine but still got more stuff to do to like remaps, cams, pistons, some over bits but like again theres so much you can do to it its like lego or summit haha but even as standard brilliant engine I have never looked back love the gti-6

I have owned 306s for many years, but my gti6 wow, best car ever

it keeps up with audi S3's honda S2000's etc

brake's pads wear quick , can be expensive to run sometimes, but still if u see one for sale , buy it don't hesitate

0-60 7secs (standard)

top speed 140mph

mine cost £2000 with p/x included

all my work colleuges get jealous when i come into the carpark in a morning

always asking me to sell to them.. no hope in hell that would happen

i bought my 6 a couple of months ago. i have never driven a better handling car than this, is in my opinion the best hot hatch of its day. it does everything a hot hatch should, looks good, subtle but good. very fast 167bhp 2 litre engine has plenty of torque and loves to rev. comfortable aswell, those half leather seats hold you in while driving quickly and are also comfortable on long journeys. bad points which are not many but the fuel situation is not ideal when you open the taps a little. the cam-belt also must have a mention here, must be replaced regularly or face the penalty of an engine rebuild. also the radiator's have a habit of perishing, not only the gti 6 but most 306's suffer this problem. but apart from these small issues this is a fantastic car and will give you many hours of truly great driving! i look forward to many more happy years with my gti 6.

What can I say, this is a really good hatchback.

I have owned mine for 2 days and it has changed my whole outlook on the conecpt of what speed is!

This car just pushed surges of power in every gear.

However the back end has jumped out on me a couple of times, which lowers my confidence when driving hard through corners. I used to own a lowerered Saxo VTR, which I could hammer through every corner, however the GTI-6 is a different ball game; you need to be awake to drive this thing otherwise "hello mr hedge, tree or wall, bye bye GTI-6" get it?

This car feels very sturdy and well built.

As far as looks and sound goes, I personally think the cars needs a few mods, ie. exhaust, induction kit, headlights and visible GTI-6 stickers (no body kits, neons or stuff like that).

Quick, Sticks to the road and very nice to drive.Drinks petrol, but what do you expect from a sports car. No bad points I can think of.

Had the Peugeot 306 GTi 2 months and the head gasket was gone on it so it kept over heating but it lasted me ages should of got it sorted strait away like because it off road now but back on tomorrow, but it got me from North Wales to Tidworth every weekend for work.

If you want performance at cheap costs, THIS is the car for you!

If you want a car that's comfy & fun to drive then THIS is the car for you!

If you want a family car for shopping trips this isn't the ideal car for you - sell the wife & kids instead ;)

This is my third 306 now, I've previously owned a '97 D-turbo and an '01 1.8 XS, both of which were great cars but only boasted around 100bhp, give or take a few.

The Gti-6 is a completely different ball game! with almost 170bhp and a 6-speed 'close ratio' gearbox, it's still capable of biting the heels of newer performance cars such as the Civic TypeR and Golf Gti's! My most previous car was a mk4 Golf Gti 1.8T, chipped to 197 bhp by APR, but the Gti-6 seems a touch quicker. When driven hard, the Peugeot does enjoy a drink, but this is to be expected of a 140mph pocket rocket which will blast to 60 mph in less than 7secs!

If it's outright performance, race-track handling and excellent value you're after, buy a 306 Gti-6, or the maginally lighter 306 rallye!

I really struggled to find a really good 90's hot hatch after parting with both a Golf Vr6 and Astra GTe 16v. At first I was going to buy a Clio Williams but failed to find a good one. In the end I settled on the Peugeot 306 GTI6 and it turned out to be a really good car that did most things I asked of it. The understated looks of the car are both a good thing and a bad thing. I do normally like my hot hatches to look hot.

After 2.5 years and over 20,000 miles I've now sold the car but enjoyed my time with it. I did however hate the poor turning circle which sometimes made me look an idiot when parking and it didn't have anywhere to put anything. Otherwise a great car but like most French cars I sold it before anything much started to go wrong because I knew it would before too long.

Where do I start since owning this car it has changed the way I drive forever. The power starts from the moment you turn the key and the sound when your above 4000rpm is great.

If anyone is in the market for a hot hatch this has to be the one for you. It may not be the fasted anymore or one of the prettiest but it is by far one of the most enjoyable to drive.

There is more than enough power for the roads we drive on nowadays. 0-60 is around 7.2 seconds and top end is around 140mph.
