I'm trying to buy a Peugeot 306 HDI which is the last variant of 306 Tubo Diesel hatchbacks. The reason why I thought of buying is that it's supposed to be one of the top performance diesel cars.
Yesterday morning I got to drive a Manual Honda VIRS and couple of hours later one of these beauties. When I went for a test drive I could hear a distinct screaming sound of a turbo and suddenly felt as if it was a Vtec car. This is actualy an economical choice for a speed hungry enthusiasts.
I've driven cars like SU14s, Custom tuned Diesel Galants but this vehicle purely performed like a gasoline engine that has a turbo sound of an old school Volkswagon Beetle engine
But the one I'm gonna buy has several drawbacks...
The AC didn't cool properly, when I checked the documents it was repaired once every two years (there were 4-5 receipts of AC repair)
Headlights didn't work even though the emergency headlamp switch worked.
Horn worked fine during the test drive but after a couple of hours it didn't work.
Are these serious issues? Google gave me this answer.

Does anyone know a place to repair/service a seat reclining (mechanical) system? Seems both driver side and passenger side seats are kind of stuck.. Hoping to take it to a seat cushioning/carpeting place to get checked.. any other option?
Trump imposes tariffs on China and they impose higher tariffs in US products. For the EV batteries China is the biggest provider of earth materials and it will push US EV vehicle prices up. We are going to see a nice game coming up between two world superpowers.
