The PEUGEOT 306 (1995-97) 5DR HATCHBACK 1.6I LX AUTO AC+100 is a compact five-door family hatchback, representing a practical, popular type of UK car in the mid-1990s. Its automatic gearbox and air conditioning add convenience, while the five-door body helps with passengers and shopping. Today, it is an older, budget-priced used-car prospect. The automatic suits relaxed town and suburban trips, particularly for drivers who prefer not to change gears. It can serve couples or small families, though age, condition and parts availability deserve careful checks. Against era-mates such as the Ford Escort and Vauxhall Astra, the 306 is remembered for its comfortable ride and neat styling.
