Do you get 167 of your finest trench horses in a 306 gti-6, had considered one of them, had a 306 before 1.4 L.O.L.

I like it ,but prices for these are dropping quicker than a lead balloon, I hate taking a big hit when it comes to selling on, 137bhp in a 206 is that not similar to a williams? Wish I hadnt sold my williams tbh.

i think 306 hold there prices ok as long as they r mint and phase3 which mine is, ifg ur interetsed mate im selling ti for 3900. the 206's look ok but from wat i heard they r slow even the gti 180's arnt all that quick for some reason, nice seats though lol

180's are so slow because of the wheels they are HUGE looks like a 4x4 imo,(must be getting old) I dont know what to go for mate, good luck with your car anyway by the look of it you shouldnt have any bother shifting it.

Nah more like a valver. Difference valver is smaller, lighter and more revvy. Whereas 206 is fat, ugly, slow, and 137hp from 2ltr is just shameful. 206 GTI should hang its cylinder head in shame.

Maybe Scooby wagon cuz its different? Tune it to 500bhp then put a Baby ON Board sticker and dog-guard in the back :lol:

Along the lines of de-sapping your will to live :)
1. A lot of zip and go but a bit clinical in delivery.
2. Soft-riding, understeers and very clinical delivery.
3. Best bang for straight line buck here. Enormous grip but mostly understeers. Car doesn't communicate much with the driver. Slowest car here when off boost. Great tuning potential.
4. Don't know.
5. Sweet throttle response. Talkative steering/chassis. Acceleration tapers off beyond 120mph. Prices should go up as years go by. Ridiculous turning radius. Average braking performance. It's either very reliable or it's a total lemon. :) Obsessive and fanatical loyalty among UK owners, it would appear :)
