    Better than a Williams?

    Anyone owned one?

    The figures seem impressive to me when you consider its weight.

    Find it strange how these dont really find their way into the top 10 best cars of all time (within the entire car genre). From 90's hot hatches always seems to be the Williams.

    I know a couple of people who've owned Williams and GTi-6 and they both prefer the GTi-6, they said it would leave a williams for dead on twisties and in a straight line...

    Ive looked at them in the past, cheap, but most done to moon and back mileage.

    I test drove one before I bought the Willy, no where near as good IMO. Didn't handle as well, didn't sound as good, etc.

    I did like the interior though

    i had one of those for precisely 2 months. Yes they handle nicely and are quick. But my god does it feel like its gunna fall apart on you, the gearings good for speed but u can pretty much pull off in 6th awful economy! The air con system has pipes as weak as your nans wrists, the cambelt will snap if u look at it wrong. I prefer the williams its a solid little ****er! (minus the arches..there def not solid.)

    Ive driven quite a few pugs. Im not keen on the look of the 306. If i had to get a pug it would be a 106 rallye or a 205. They are ok i guess.

    I bought my willy of a guy who had just bought a 306 Rallye. He contacted my after a while to ask me to ring him if i ever wanted to sell it and he would buy it straight back. It looks like he made the wrong choice and that was the proof for me about which is the best to own.

    I owned a 306 S16 before the Williams, was ok, handled well but felt too big and heavy. The 309 GTi I owned before the S16 was miles better imo, still not quite as good as the Williams though, but very close...
