Peugeot 306 Rallye Review - The Greatest Peugeot Of All Time?

In my second part of a week on "great hot hatches which aren't Renaults", we look at this 2000 Peugeot 306 Rallye. A lightened version of the famed GTI-6, the Rallye has often been lauded as the greatest hot hatch ever - is it really that good?

Got a 306 Rallye a few years back and been my daily ever since, love it. 306 D Turbo was my first car and still have it too.

[@crowther995]

One of the best hot hatches I've ever driven, 5 years a go I made the mistake of buying a mk3 Golf 16v instead on the basis that their prices would rise faster than the 306's, not the case as it would seem!

[@Bokuma01]

Had a GTi-6 a few years ago. Brilliant hot hatch, lovely flat torque curve and the engine will just pull and pull. Coupled with the close ratio 6 speed box it's fantastic, 3rd gear would absolutely eat up b-roads. Felt like you didn't give enough time to cover the handling which was it's main feature really. Fantastic steering feel and feedback, don't think i've had anything since which was quite so confidence inspiring as you always knew exactly what it was doing.

[@vp5]

Yep superb cars. Truly epic and analogue

[@JamieR1988]

This is the best Peugeot of all time. Forget about the Mi16 or the 106/Saxo - VTS/R This car wasn't just quick, it was actually useful. You could carry your mates comfortably, it was more reliable (as reliable as a French car can be) it was better on fuel, cheaper to insure and it was actually comfortable. The other small french hot hatches were absolutely bone breakers!! And let's be honest, Saxos and 106s were for 17-19 year old British chavs back in the early 00s lol.

[@benistingray6097]

You need to drive a 106 gti, very light and awesome car.

Agree this was a lovely quick car as I had a blue GTI-6 back in 2001 for a couple of years

[@tompog897]

I had the diesel version of this when I was 17, looked just like a gti-6/raylle but I could actually insure it. A great car 👍🏻

[@JamieR1988]

I owned one of these second hand. But it wasn't really second hand. The previous owner was in his 70s and God knows how they managed to convince him to buy it, but after 3 days of ownership he returned it. He complained that it was far to quick 😅😅 So I got it for less than half original price!! I was just 19 when this came out and it was my first car and I got insured no problem at all. And I lived in a rough scheme in Aberdeen, I had a very basic job, it was kept on the street overnight (something which I would regret later) and all in it cost me £788 and that was way back then. So if you adjust for inflation, it's probably around the £1,500-2,000 mark!!!! Basically every penny I earned went on insurance, fuel and road tax 😂😂 Those were the days eh!! When still had mum and dad giving me hand outs and feeding me lol.

Fantastic car , one the best hot hatches. 306 gti6 and 106 rallye are my babes. Love them both. I am really sad that I sold my blue 106 rallye 1999 -2008 with k&n filter in the box and oz superleggeras matte grey! 15”! Beautiful car. But I’m very lucky that I own now a white 306 Gti6 race edition in Greece. Omp seats and sparco piuma wheel. Great driving experience!

[@aegis7666]

2 thousand 205 gti’s left v’s less than 100 306 rallyes- a very rare car to get hold of now and highly sought after

[@pommycalva]

Living in France ,I was the proud owner of a 205 rallye.I had k&n racing air filters on it,man what a headache after long trips,but my baby son at the time was soothed by the engine sounds.At the time I worked at an Alfa Romeo/Chrysler dealer,my workmate Joel,tuned those twinWeber’s to perfection!He learnt his craft tuning alfetta triple dual throttle body carburettor’s.

The 205 Rallye1.3 was brilliant, even it had some 'character'. I know because I owned one. Should have kept that, extremely rare now.

Great series of classic hatches you're doibg here! Hoping to see some RS Fords like the fiesta RS turbo

[@TheSimonhammond]

Miss and loved my 1.4 LX phase 3 306, probably the best steering feel of any car I've owned. The best thing with this era of Peugeot is you get great handling without sacrificing comfort.

[@simonhughes7382]

My first car. It went EVERYWHERE sideways. Loved that thing- amazing that cars can get so much faster and more powerful and yet probably less fun.

[@Hipas_Account]

ive had a 106 GTi and currently drive a 605 2.0 Turbo, and can do nothing but agree, the 106 was of course the better handling car, but it still was a very comfortable car, even for those who sat in the back, atleast compared to rest of the cars of that size, and the 605, while not being exactly a specimen in performance still is kinda fun to whip around, although i am stuck with an automatic, cant imagine how fun it might be with a manual and perhaps that 3.0 V6.

[@MrSparklespring]

I have a 306 1600 with automatic gearbox. Great car and very comfortable.

[@flyingbananatree5661]

I have an affection for the 306. Yea, mine was only a 1.9 TD Lx, but I was only 22, and to me it was great. And an upgrade from my skoda felicia. Funny what Rose tinted specs do!

[@lewis72]

We had a 306 XTdt, so top of the range diesel. I really rated it. It had electric windows & sunroof and was very comfortable.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

I've owned some awesome cars (currently a 981 Cayman S) and driven many more that are extremely highly rated (GT-R, 911, Vantage, M6 etc) but as far as I'm concerned there is nothing more fun than this. Looks incredible, they're very comfy and practical, very reliable, it sounds better than almost all other 4-pots (my ears are still bleeding after test driving an FK8) and handles like no other FWD car, can't drift a Clio of any kind like this thing. It's not perfect, but going into a corner too fast in one of these will put a bigger smile on your face than anything else a car can do. I'd probably take a GTi-6 over the Rallye though to be fair. Edit: Im just going to say that simply by reviewing this and liking it, JayEmm is now my favourite car KZbinr. Ok maybe joint with Cars with JB in the same way this is actually my joint favourite car because they're both awesome.

[@rubenvalente]

What you can do with this 306 Rallye you can do with pretty much any other French hot hatch, they were all born from rallying, and that's why they always blast the competition when it came for this kinds of cars. Clio RS (all generations), Williams, 205 GTI, Saxo VTS, 106 GTI, 206 RC.

[@ApothecaryTerry]

@@rubenvalente They're all great cars. For me though, the 306 tops the list. The way you can control both the front and rear end of that chassis with its rear wheel steering is something I've not found anything can match. It's also my favourite to look at and genuinely comfy to top it off. Subjective of course, but it'll always be my favourite, it just responds perfectly to my driving style. Shame even the normal 306 GTi-6 is at the point where I couldn't convince myself to daily drive it else I'd have one for sure.

[@migguru562]

Still own a 98 GTI-6 not standard anymore but can't complain with 230bhp will never sell it or let it die 👌

[@terryjones3755]

I own the gti6 and it always puts a smile on my face ive had it 15 years and I drive it just as hard as I did 15 years ago it loves a thrashing and still upsets modern day cars it turns heads everywhere I go too.

Because you own a GTi-6, I like you. I don't need to know anything else.

[@PugGTi-vo2lg]

I had a Bianca rallye, that was mint until it was rear ended...its heart now lives in my 205 GTI...Rallyes are sought after as fewer made but essentially it's a GTi6, minus elec windows and air con. Great cars non the less and bulletproof engine as long as you changed cambelt regularly and on time

[@steinbockvergeltungswaffe306]

Could it be not only the best but also the nicest hot hatch of all time? For me it certainly is, without a doubt! I know what I'm talking about, because I own one! Peugeot 306: always in my heart!!! ;-))

Had one of these from new. Wasn't cheap either. Drove it For 2 years, then with a few mods. Tracked it for 3 more. Thrashed The bollocks off it. Never broke. The car i learned to heal and toe. A great time in my life. ❤

So they keep going if treated right 👌

[@Johnacles]

Great video JM! In Australia, Peugeot bastardised the Rallye, ours didn't get the lusty two-litre from the GTi-6, just the regular 1.8 plugger. It also got none of the lightweight mods were, just a Rallye sticker pack. Bit of a shame.

[@ReclusiveDuck]

I will never forget the day I got stuck behind one these doing a max of 35mph between Builth Wells and Rhayader . 2 elderly couples, not a day under 80 out for a Sunday drive in a 306 Rallye! It was both cool and depressing at the same time.

[@MrHubb1]

I've never seen this model of 306 before. The 306 was not a bad seller in Australia in its day and I love the styling and shit does this one sound. I'd love one.

[@1972dsrai]

I had a red Peugeot 205 1.9 GTI in the mid 90’s and it was amazing. I’ve not owned or driven another French car since tbf. Would love to have a drive in one today to see how well it stands up.

[@richardmandy7615]

I had A GTI-6 to replace my Astra GTE 16 valve ... both had amazing engines, I had a quick shift fitted which sorted the awful gear shift. Bits kept on falling of it and I sold it in 2002 with only 47,000 miles because of the issues, my Astra had covered 90 k with no issues. The 0-60 quoted was misleading because it had tall gearing in second so it felt like a 7 second car, and some write ups said as much. I never felt as confident as I did in the Astra, it felt heavy, and the steering was better, but the Astra I had was the leather, or Champion edition which ran lower profile tyres on bigger bbs alloys as standard and was more communicative. The Astra was a great car for driving fast around country roads, what it lost in ultimate precision it gained in comfort and ease of driving. The 16 valve had lower and firmer suspension than the wobbly 8 valve with anti roll bars front and rear and an extra degree of negative camber.

[@RayMcAnal]

Closes I got was a W reg 306 hdi glx estate as a company car, but it was a fantastic car and quick as I remember (seems 90bhp was more than adequate back then).

[@edword7195]

306 handled like a dream, but 205 more chunk-able. I think the 306 has been my favourite handling car I have owned, well favourite front wheel drive. Original "quality" trim is not what you want. 18 months of ownership and window winder broken heater control broken trim hanging off. Still my Megane of same vintage was not much better but drove nothing like as well and driving position of Megane 1 was pretty poor.

[@simonburleigh1872]

This reminds me of my 1.6 306 , great ride yet could be threaded through the B roads. It had passive rear wheel steering which you could feel giving a slight kick to help it round the corner. Often temped by GTI or XSI on ebay.

[@lggy690]

I miss my 306 XSi. I did find putting 17" wheels helped instead of the std 15" wheels helped give a better ratio for pulling the car up a hill at lower revs. It was a real pleasure to drive on motorways. It still had plenty of get up and go sitting at 70mph to jump up to 90+. Without having to drop out of 5th gear. Never had any engine troubles.....just went through so many exhausts due to corrosion.

[@EgoShredder]

I'm on my third 2.0 XSi and have had Ph1, Ph2 and Ph3. My favourite was possibly the 8v Ph1 in that lovely Chateux Grey colour. I timed the 0-60mph many times at between 7.5 to 8 seconds. Absolutely fantastic rural countryside B-road car, and the 8v was so whisper quiet on the motorway even at ahem.......... higher speeds!

[@slickidrich490]

The first hot hatch to use a six speed manual gearbox. I think that it is a brilliant gearbox. The only issue was the location of the gearbox restricts the turning circle on a right hand turn slightly.

[@DevinderAthwal306]

What was it about the gearbox you didn't like? There is an exposed ball on the linkage that gets coated in debis and the grease dries out as it's close to the exhaust. When it's been cleaned out and greased the mechanisam is silky smooth.

[@mickl8212]

DC2 Integra Type R road test please. It was around the same time as the Rallye. My friend had a 306 GTi6 in red. It was an awesome car, I remember being sat facing the wrong way on a wet roundabout because he'd lifted off when going in too quick 😂

I had the 306 dturbo which had the fuel pump turned up and updated suspension and Alloys. Absolute weapon on a country road, and a wet road you had to be extremely careful not to back off mid corner. Sold that to buy the Williams, although very tempted to buy the 306 rallye but didn't feel it looked much different from a normal GTI-6. 15" white steels is what it needed. Real shame, the Williams had lovely Gold and looked like the real deal. Performance wise and handling wise there's not much in it (having raced one) apart from the Clio felt more on it's toes and happier on the limit.

Great cars, had a 1998 Diablo Gti-6 years ago. Fantastic handling and engine and had no issues. Weak cam belts though and need changing regularly. They made 500 Rallyes available in 3 colours, I forget the ratio but it was something like 200 red, 200 black and 100 white and they actually made one in blue too. Remember to n 1996 when these first came out, having a 6 speed gearbox was a revelation in a hatchback, the turning circle really suffered for it though. Overall a good reliable car, I know some of these that have smashed 200k miles.

The last good looking car made by Peugeot??? I think so, mine was black like this, loved it!

Come on, we all Know Peugeot published out performance figures that were slower than the real world. Evo got 6.9 to 60 in a rallye. The GTI-6 was in the low 7s.

Rumour was that they had the car half loaded with people and luggage and a full tank of fuel for the 0-60 tests

306 as a model in general, is probably the best choice if you're out for an analog driving experience, which is fun as fuck, and a relatively comfy ride when you settle down. The back seats are pretty comfy and roomy, the sport seats are not that good, but the standard ones are comfy as hell. The car is very reliable, especially the diesels, and parts are everywhere. Oh, and you shouldn't phase out the diesels, especially the 71ps 1.9 NA diesel. It is much faster and much more fun than you expect, and after swapping out the air filter and removing the cat (DON'T STRAIGHTPIPE IT), you'll get one of the best 4banger diesel noises out there. Tame and somewhat quiet at low RPMs and sharp and peppy at high RPMs. I have a 306 1.9d 71, had it for 18 years now, and it goes from 0-60 in 11 secs flat, which is pretty peppy for such a weak engine. Also the cars have a relatively well made bodywork that is galvanizes, but they do tend to rust behind the rear pillars, especially the three door versions.
