Easy to repair, cheap parts, good looks, great handling, easy to tune, made almost entirely out of 10mm bolts, 13mm bolts or clips
They're cheap enough that resale value isn't really an issue, so you can enjoy the car alot more and regularly find its limits, very communicative driving feedback, you can feel if you're pushing it too hard, unlike some more modern cars, mk5 golf's for example, where they're so quiet and numb it's scarily easy to provoke chronic understeer.
A phase 1 306 actually looks retro now, and people who aren't into cars see them and often ask what it is haha
Ph3 are modern looking enough that they still look decent in that classic handsome Peugeot way in any modern carpark, aged much better than other cars the same age..... Look how dated a corsa b looks now when next to a 306
That's just some of my thoughts, could go on about Peugeots all day haha
