The Peugeot 306 is a compact automobile from the French manufacturer marketed from 1993 to 2002. From February 18, 1993, it was marketed in five doors and from autumn 1993 in three doors. It was then available as a convertible in 1994. The simple mechanics and serious manufacturing made the 306 a benchmark in terms of reliability and longevity. Copies with a mileage of 500,000 km are often included in basic maintenance. The 306 is characterized by the rigor and dynamism of its self-steering rear axle chassis.
