    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    have you ever wondered why 90% of the posts on the "my car is broken" subforum are about 306's?

    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    Looking at it, I'd hazzard a guess there's not much 306 there. Engine is put in the right way around, wheel track looks very wide etc etc. Might be wrong, but these things usually involve a space frame somewhere.

    306 - the worst car I have ever owned.

    They look nice, but they're French, they overheat, have trouble turning corners, are flimsy, have awful electrics, little to no feedback through the wheel and so on.

    8k for a 14 year old car..... wow.

    Far from my cup of tea.

    Re: 18 year olds dream car

    Horrendous.

    At least go for a golf GTI mk1 or 2, or 205 GTI if you want to stick peugeot. Probably as much fun as this supposed 400bhp car, without anything like as much hassle.

    it has a new engine though
    so that fixes the overheating issue
    and if tuned and maintained correctly, the rest of the issues could be overcome too..

    insurance will suck on this, being 18, and male, and in a badly rated postcode

    1700 quid i paid for my 1.4 litere 16v automatic, turquoise vauxhall corsa, for a year...
