306 lowering guide (torsion bars as in 106, 306, saxophone, etc.) (part 1)
When I went to work for an automotive magazine in England, I - being an American - supposed French cars fell into one of two camps cars that were designed Closely poorly constructed and Citroen good engineering market cars that were wrong Renault built.
My colleagues began directly in a small group of test tailgates I said something nice about the Ford Escort I had just driven - which, among British auto writers, is to say something about a colleague who clips his toenails to his office My dear compatriots will understand this point, we're talking early 90s, almost all uS small cars were crap, and even the worst traps euro and that would be the Escort seemed halfway decent Five faces scowled at me like I was clipping her toenails and a grizzled hand pushed the keys to a Peugeot 306 in my direction.
It turns out that Peugeot was the third single type of French car and well designed and built badly the 306 was a little smaller than the VW Golf; Back home, the Golf and Civic hatchbacks were as good as got little pug em blown out of the water.
The reason is simple the 306 was great to drive it was light, it was fast, there was a great direction, and has maintained a perfect control over body movements you can see out, you can pack your family in it and you can park anywhere More than any other vehicle, the 306 taught me that the cars didn t have to be fancy to be good, and it infused me with a love for simple cars that run well, we'll you detect in my writing to date.
The detail engineering Nifty 306 of the stereo in the shape of a parallelogram, so if you have stolen, it wouldn t form in anything but another 306 In fact, it wouldn t shape in another a British thing 306 because stereos for left-hand-drive cars inclined in the other direction.
The first 306 I drove was a gas model 8 valves June 1 liter 89 horsepower at the time, you could get the engines as small as 1 1 liter 59 hp and as large as 2 0 liter 16 valve 165 hp Back home to the office, I am pleased that we took a long-term 306 DRXT with 89 c.1 9 liter turbo diesel It was a favorite of the staff, and for good reason against a Volkswagen GTI, the United -um had the engine 8-valve 115 hp used in American Golf GL, the little red DRXT was faster than 60 miles per hour, better managed and - do not be a performance model - cost a fifth as much to ensure Without speaking, he returned at about 35 miles per gallon in the London traffic.
Building Don quality demand t Our long termer was pretty good, but our customer complaints dossier revealed that all my American perceptions about French cars were false over Renaults, it was built as a Toyota, but compared to Toyota, it was built as a Renault.
The 306 was built 92-02 and then replaced by the 307 and later the 308 Gotta love the French penchant for original car 306 names was why I fell in love with French cars but wasn t my favorite, I'll talk about that one in the other slice.
Why I love French cars Peugeot 306 Part 1, love, french, cars.
