306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum

Just something im intrested in now. We are seeing more and more cars being used for track use/weekend toys. Who drives theirs daily. Say more than 100 miles a week. I reckon i do about 250/300 a week in mine.

track time however two years ago i was using my 1.8 as a daily and my hdi was a daily. Id like one as a daily now just the amount id have to spend on one to make it as comfortable as the saab would be equal to what i could sell the saab for so apart from fuel economy saving there is no point. not to mention the saab is 320hp and is super safe.

When i get my own place I hope to have another I can use as a daily!

Not track use, but the 309 is what I'm solely using. Only comfort I'm missing is RCL. Got some ebay kit to install at some point.

Probs does 50-80 miles a week maybe.

Noticed the rear axle is failing now though.

Still use mine daily for probably around 100 miles a week, it's comfortable enough apart from the vibrations. Used to use it daily for 350-400 a week with no fuss.

Little bit of track time here and there but not as much as I'd like due to cost lol

Drive an Astor HDI every day / have no reason to drive anything newer / different. Comfy, reliable, costs peanuts to run, and would trust it to anywhere in the country. People always ask why / take piss in there new BMW's / Audis on finance etc. But its my car, it doesn't owe me anything, and I honestly have no reason not to drive it!

For the last two years I've managed to keep one of my 306's on the road for daily use, covering about 150mi a week.  One is always off the road getting some sort of mechanical attention, which keeps me from ever getting bored!  Am hoping to keep them going for a good while to come.

Absolutely agree with Darren - no desire to have the latest BMW etc but never did.  Never bought a new car and most of them have been more than 6 years old when they reached me.  If I won the lottery I might just be tempted by a 208 GTi though.

Would like to have it as a daily but currently got a company vehicle, hopefully in the future il use it for a daily! Need to find some good places to take it at the weekend so I can enjoy driving it

I do about 200 miles/week in my 306. It's comfy although a bit loud on the inside. But I am gonna tackle that next.

Racetractor daily/workhorse

evo and 205 daily.

100 miles a week all in the evo for work purposes plus weekend activities £50 of fuel does 8/9 days

I drive my 205 daily, do 200/250 miles most weeks in it. It is coming up for mot and i think i have done about 12k in it over the year. I echo pretty much what Darren has said as well. A lot of people take the piss out of it and ask why i drive it when i have my other 'nicer' cars or could buy a 'better' car so to say. It just does what i need to with it being cheap to run and to fix/buy parts on the rare occasions something actually goes wrong with it. Plus it is such a great laugh to drive.

seems like a fair few of us still use them daily. Mine i have as i dont want to buy another car and owe on it as well to be honest. It really doesnt cost that much i even fixed the ac in it. As for lu whe also uses hers daily as well. Just seems recently we are becoming a dying breed of people who want to own their cars

I've only just got mine and drive about 400 miles a week minimum, it's a great car even if it is a bit tatty round the edges

Mmm ... I was reading a couple of weeks ago that car loans are being handed out like candy and it could become the next sub-prime crisis.  Great, that's just what we all need!

Getting a company van with no personal mileage allowed for the initial two years in a few months time, at which point the fluence will be sold and I'll use the cab in the evenings and weekends.

Not driven a 306 daily for a few years now, far too small. Only time I drive mine is on the trailer to a event or the odd bedding in tyres around the block

I retired using mine as a daily back in December when I went defender, at the moment my mum is now using it for work until the their defender is back on the road, and once that's back up and running, it will be used like the metro was. My days of building sleepers now are gone, car restorations where its at now for me. Mind I did toy with the idea last year on getting shot of the 306 for the defender, But it would have been a bad move if I had done, its been an asset to me and my mum and dad really this year.

I use my Astor GTi 6 as my daily doing about 450/500 miles a week. Hasn’t missed a beat in the 6 months I’ve owned it so far.

Don't use anything daily any more as I cycle to work. Rallye is and always has been a toy for hooning and track use but I use it a lot for errands and when the weather is really toss. Golf was a present to myself after 2 years overseas, and now forms the family bus. Loved my hdi to bits and never wanted for more but in a different place now, family safety is paramount to me so my daughter gets ferried around in the golf rather than an old French bean can.

No finance here, but as above it's cheap to get new cars and the average lease deal is cheaper than depreciation. Guy at work has a brand new Tiguan in a full maintenance policy with insurance for 240 a month, can't argue with that when he was losing more changing the family bus every few years. Leasing will surely burst the bubble soon. I could have a car through work now but happy with the golf

dunno the milage, but my HDi's a daily

Not a 306 but several years ago I used my 205 as a daily on a 60 mile round trip four times a week. The 205 has no interior, buckets and a cage...oh, and Mi16 on 1.6 box. The M3 part of the trip woke you up!

Recently used a 306 HDi as a daily, but wrote it off last December. Cant be arsed with driving far anymore so moved within 3 miles of work. Takes me 5 mins now.
