LJ51NXX Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Pricey insurance, French , but I've heard they're good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenSilverLupo Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 They handle exceptionally well. Slightly thirsty, but a good all round hot hatch tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) The 306 was pretty much the best handling car of it's time and it can still hold it's own well. As a drivers car i think they're very good and i could see that if you owned one that you'd love the way it drove, you may suffer a bit with the interior though. As for the engine, they're good, quicker than a Lupo GTi or at least should be unless they're not well looked after.

LiamD Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think these would run rings round a GTi Lupohttp://www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=139244 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think there pretty cool. Wouldn't own one but I can see the appeal. Would rather have a 106 Rallye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfbr Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 167bhp standard, can have around 180bhp just by fitting uprated injectors and remapping.Excellent car, untellable levels of grip and beautiful handling.VERY HEAVY on fuel though if you Toe it about.Back in 2004 I drove a friends one of these and used 15 quids worth of fuel in less than 50 miles. Was great fun doing it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leddy Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think there pretty cool. Wouldn't own one but I can see the appeal. Would rather have a 106 Rallye tbh i had thought of a 106 rallye. but i think if i was downgrading to a cheaper car a 306 gti would be more car for the money.is the 306 rallye the same car as the gti-6? cant believe how cheap they are. ive seen a w reg gti-6 with 64k fpsh for £2800what other alternatives can people think of? would want to spend about 3k ideally.cheers for the help guys. appreciate it.

LiamD Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I've been thinking about an EG Civic VTi. 160bhp from the factory and Honda reliability, and tuning bits are very cheap from the USA.Maybe not the same handling capabilities of the Pug though!

heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 If you want bang for buck Volkswagen is definitely the worst place to go. Volkswagen give you a Polo GTI with 150bhp. Vauxhall will give you a Corsa VXR with around 200bhp! I'm sure there priced bout the same as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think there pretty cool. Wouldn't own one but I can see the appeal. Would rather have a 106 Rallye i would agree with you there, i have always wanted a white one with the white steels! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 My mate has a red S1 with white steels. Lowered and has big white circles on the doors. Cool as hell. Just wants a 1.6 16V in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Green Giant Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 yeah there was one i used to see going round swindon loads proper racked stance too looked wicked!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_Kez Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 My mate has a red S1 with white steels. Lowered and has big white circles on the doors. Cool as hell.

Crusoe Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) what other alternatives can people think of? would want to spend about 3k ideally.325i or maybe even 328 beemer, 200sx or 300zx nissan, fiat coupe, alfa gtv or 155, audi 90 quatro etc. Origional mx5 for cheap fun? Loads of nice stuff out there depends what you are after pace, space and running cost wise. If it was me i'd not buy a leggy old pug though, they weren't the most reliable new and the dash rattles might drive you insane.

Crusoe Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) 2.5lr bmw with only 95k on the clock looks clean and probably a much better faster and more entertaining drive than the pug, offer £2300. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/classifieds/415899.htmEven some m3 evos in your price range though not sure if the running costs and insurance would be too friendly.go on pistonheads classified with a 3k budget or even £2k and see that there are some great bargains out there.
