"A very fast drivers car, great for the money"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Rust in the wiring loom cost us 500 notes to sort out, took some tracing as the problem was actually the engine fan cutting in at will when the car was parked up flattening the battery.

Head gasket went at 59K miles, another 700 notes, watch out for this one as Peugeot have now redesigned the head gasket and the replacement is nothing like the original (poor initial design I fear).

Cooling problems, this time was caused by the radiator cap.

General comments?

A great car to drive, very nippy, all the power is 4500 RPM plus so if you want the pulling power, leave those gear changes late.

Handles like a dream pitches into corners great and holds on, can't help feeling it has so much more to give if you've got a real big pair between your legs.

Downsides, basic inside (although seats are very nice), no where to put drinks, food or other basic storage needs, dash rattles at high speeds. Ashtray in a stupid place and a nightmare to use while driving. Glovebox the most stupid thing I've ever seen.

Automatic? Did you make an error when inputting the info? There is no automatic 306 Gti-6.

Yes thankyou so much for pointing out my Reviews Error. You are quite correct, it is a Manual Gti. I apologise for confusing so many people.
