Peugeot 306 Gti-6 review - living

Peugeot 306 2.0 GTi- 6

Test date 04 December 1996  Price as tested £17,488

The GTi-6 is a discreet performer, with no aerofoil and no outrageous graphics. Just like the S16. In fact, the only difference between the out-going hot Peugeot and the new arrival is a new alloy wheel design. That and the tasteful 6 badge on the tailgate. Bigger changes await inside. The GTi-6 comes standard with leather seats with great Alcantara suede inserts. Fabulous stuff, Alcantara: soft to the touch and expensive-looking. The front seats have generous wings to give support, and the suede does a fine job in stopping occupants sliding around during hectic cornering. A steering column adjustable for rake and seat height adjusters make finding a comfortable driving position easy. The free-revving engine and the sweet gearbox encourage you to use more revs and change gear more regularly, just for the fun of it. That said, we still averaged 25.1mpg indicating a 330-mile range from the13.2 gallon fuel tank
