Yeah I was a bit disappointed he just mentioned the power and that was it! I know the 205 trumps all Peugeots but I expected him to say more on the 306 than the 106! Picked up the magazine today, good little read.________________________________________ Cherry Rallye '99 - Sold |

Its such a typical and predictable comparison that he was blatantly paid to have.. And how many times is he going round the same corner? |

Close your eyes and it could be Jenson Button doing the talking, it was annoying me all the way through until I twigged who his voice reminds me of.Yeah, and I think he got it wrong too, 205,306 then 106. You can't slate a 306 for its interior after a drive in a 106, the dash is made from Lego FFS. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

its an honest informed uninfluenced opinion, 306 is a lump compared..... I feel a ban coming on.. the 106 and 205 are loads lighter, thats the bottom line, imo....________________________________________ 306 less for first time in nearly 7 years. Lets keep it that way... please refuse any offers i make to buy your 306 ( doctors letter supplied by request)Marmite and cheese sandwiches anyone???

I think he's on teh money with that too. The 205 is of course just a lot more fun and involving than the others, but the 306 is bigger and more of a lump than the 106, which is kind of the point as it's also a lot more comfortable and less cramped.Was anyone else expecting him to go out and actually drive the 208 after the other 3 though? The video seemed to just end abruptly with no real conclusion other than "Yup, just like the thousands of other people who've compared these 3 old cars, I prefer the 205 GTi as well." It's almost as if he *did* go out and drive the 208, but wasn't allowed to finish the video by saying "Yeah, the 205 is still a better car..." ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

Driven under the speed limit, yes a 306 will feel a bit lumpen, it's a bigger car. You'd have to be giving it some welly for it to shine among the other two. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

To be fair I told him to be careful with it as its do so little miles and NEVER had a cambelt change, I didnt really want them to drive it at all, so I think if he had given it some then he would have enjoyed it more. If I had known they wanted to drive it I would have took along another Rallye/GTi-6 so he cool have given it some beans. but I think that the verdict was all made up before had anyway! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .
