- Can you fit child & baby seats in the back of a 90's French hot hatch?
I tell a shocker of a story from my teenage years.
Thank you so much to Jack @number27

Hey Ben, absolutely fantastic video.. glad you enjoyed the 306 and you’re definitely right about more modern cars!
Ah glad you enjoyed it 🤗 can’t wait to see your video on the DB9 😅
Nicely resonant story there. In my early days of dadhood a had a GTi6 as my daily and when the sprogs were smaller it was highly practical. Happy memories of 7000 rpm and them in the back laughing like maniacs and shouting "faster faster"! The GTi6 is now "resting" in one of my sheds, awaiting that elusive resurrection. Love that car. My daily now? Modified WRX with suitably preposterous mpg. With age comes no wisdom. The sprogs are nearly as tall as me now. They just about fit in the back, and still love the noise. No point shouting "faster" now, though. I wouldn't be able to hear them and "faster" is redundant...
Nice video. Number 27 sent me.
Awesome! How funny you have a WRX as well 👏
0-60 is actually closer to 7 seconds. Peugeot reportedly loaded them up with luggage and/or passengers during testing to keep insurance costs down. Still not very quick by today's ridiculous standards but more than ample to make swift progress.
Taking this on some twisty roads will be a lot more fun than most modern stuff…
I'm a similar age to you Ben, and I still remember this as the OG Big-Boy Yobo hot-hatch. Still looks great, manages to look subtle and understated, but you'd never confuse it for a bogo 306. It's a shame the Naturally Aspirated engine is basically dead, even a humble n/a 4-pot sounds lovely. What a wonderful throw back, although now I do feel slightly old...
Awesome! Yeah age creeps up on you I didn’t think I was old 🤷♂️
Jack sent me over to you and now ive subbed - great video and youre so enthusiastic!
Hey Carl! Great to have you here and thanks for the kind words :)
It's a hatch I expected it to be practical but fit 3 baby seats. I think this and the 106 gti were the last of the truly desirable Peugeots
Question I should have asked is would you put 3 little ones in the back of it though… will take a deep dive on older cars and their safety at some point
I used to have a 306XSi on a p reg in the late 90's, great car, fantastic handling.
Makes you realise how numb handling has gotten in pursuit of refinement
I’ve had my 98 306 Rallye for 11 years now. Sadly my little one has only been up the road once in it due to a few dodge garages butchering it but he already loves it. It sits in the garage currently awaiting the day I get to drive it again
Been watching number 27 for years wish he uploaded more
I used to wonder why my favourites didn’t upload more… I now know how much goes into a 15 min video! Crazy amount of time lol 😂
It’s an absolutely great hatch, but if you drive it back to back with the 205 1.9 Gti it still feels very grown up! I still drive a hot hatch today as for my local small country roads it’s the best point to point option, driving the same roads for 30 years, my still favourite is the Mk2 16v Golf, which is just a bit more solid than the French equivalents. Great review as ever and an entertaining watch thank you.
Hi Ben. That was one cool video. I loved the car. Reminds me of when I had a Peugeot 505 Turbo back in the day.
Stay safe and take care.
Thanks Frank 👏
@@dadcars Your welcome Ben.
Those 306 always had a nice stance.
I agree 😊
Another great review Ben, covering one of those hot hatches you lusted after in the late 90s but couldnt insure.
Thanks Chris 😊
One of few French cars I'd happily drive every day.
I had a gti-6 for 7 years but sold it in 2012 when we were expecting our first child, absolutely loved that car
What did you replace it with out of interest?
Downhill from there, pug 307 but as more kids came it was the usual scenic, picasso, now 2012 5008 and to be fair that's the best yet, I try not to use the rear seats but they come in handy sometimes. 👍
Great video to watch Ben, loved the camera following along behind grand theft auto style 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Tony 👍 yeah it’s a pain to film and edit but I like that camera shot
Another very good video mate. I'll be 36 later this year and remember when I was 16-17 306s were one of the coolest hatches to have, though it was much more common to see lads in badly modded Vauxhall Novas with massive exhausts, lol
Yeah I never got into the modding your hatch back thing, many of my friends did a wasted a lot of money lol!
I had a black 306 rallye. Best driving car I ever had. So much fun. The thought of carrying kids around in a 90s Peugeot that made you drive like a loony now sends a shudder down my spine
I’m sure you’ll agree, how we drive alone in the car is completely different to when you have little ones with you. Wouldn’t feel overly safe on a long run in this. Will make a video soon asking the question, at what age of car is it unsafe to carry little ones on board 🤔
You swap it!!! What a bloody legend mate💪!! Magical time is always in a man's heart when it comes to a old hot hatch. Brilliant choice buddy, she will give you a ruddy good smile every time you wana be naughty..enjoy👍
Yeah I really enjoyed driving this, reminds you what proper steering feels like
Im 17 and im currently restoring one of these so i can drive it when i turn 18!
Wow what a cool first car! Have you looked into insurance?
@@dadcarsyea its not too bad
I believe the reason everyone makes 5 doors and don’t offer a 3 door variant unless it originates as a 3 is the tooling and production line costs. It’s cheaper for them to crash test and R&D 1 shape rather than 2, and keep the associated body panels in stock etc. it’s all because of the accountants to maximise margins.
If that’s the case it’s sad 😓
Does everyone in the youtube car business use the same road? :) Seriously though, fun vid!
😂… it really is a perfect place to road test a car 🤷♂️ I’ve driven A few other of my favourite TH-cam channel test roads in my other vids 😊
You're bang on about the styling thing luckily Renault has got that trouser bulge inducing 5 in the pipeline.
Cmon Peugeot give us a modern 205.
There are some cool hot hatches coming through, starting to take notice of them now
Well I happen to think the 208 is rather gorgeous to each his own
90's was peak cars imo. I daily a 309 gti.
God I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen a 309! 👏 90s JDM is heaven for me 😎
About 208 wheel arch > 205 Rallye and GTi have too. Mustang lights? Look the 504 coupe lights.
Each to their own! I’m just a grumpy old man about a lot of modern cars 😉
🤣 I got da pressure da pressure!
Lol! You got it! 🤣
Jack recommended your chanel enjoyed your review of Jacks Peugeot 306 GTI great little hot hatch there were a lot if GTIs coming from different motor manufacturers you should review the Suzuki GTI very rare now in Australia we owned a Suzuki Cino 5 door just had a 1.3 litre carburetored engine but ut was do much fun to drive and l would have loved to drive the GTI infact they had a one make class gor racing were they had Suzuki GTIs racing each other there is an unmolested Suzuki GTI some were in N.S.W. Australia because tuners got hokd of them and there was even sn all wheel drive version which somebody built
Hi Les and welcome 🤗 I have more hot hatches coming this year! 3 pencilled in already 😎
@@dadcars Good
That's different !
Yeah, wanted to drive it as have lots of 306 memories 😅
I love Subarus but the running cost is what's always put me off
Luckily my dream cars a mark 2 fabia vrs.
I’ve never even sat in one of those :)
@@dadcars 1.4 twincharged tsi dsg box. family wagon and hatchback versions.
Another blinder 👍
Thanks Ian :)
still prefer a 205 gti - but maybe not for a daily.
205 gti is a very cool looking car
My current daily.
Ah no way! That’s cool! 👏 it’s a wicked little car, such an engaging thing to drive
@@dadcars Yup! Amazing. And on the roads of Crete Greece, which is basically a mountain sticking out of the see... Spot on. Traffic police seems to love me driving it too. Smiles all round then! By the way, my daily before that and second car now is a Saxo 16V. Baby seats in both.
@@ExMachinaEngineering awesome! Sounds like you’ve got the right idea my man 👏
Nothing wrong with buying finance if it's small part of your income and if you know that car will suit your needs for the new few years. People who spend 500-600 a month and still live at home with parent are bellends
Yeah also if you earn a big monthly wage it’s totally fine, just what I learnt from my mates who had cars before me 😅
