"Drive one to find out what a front drive car could handle like"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Drivers seat rattles badly. It also moves a touch under load. I find this very annoying.

Sometimes the clutch feels like it is struggling.

General comments?

I love the way it points into corners.

It had some very marginal cheap tyres on it when I got it. Didn't seem to matter, though. The handling is phenomenal. Combine the smooth ride with the handling prowess and its the best feature of the car.

The seats are first rate being comfortable and supportive.

I recall reading press reports that this model was slow in a straight line, but I cannot agree with that. It is brisk without being a GTi.

I'm not fond of the dash layout, but who cares once you turn it into a bend?

A word of advice on cheap tyres for this vehicle. Rear drum brakes for this model are poor and the front tyres cannot transmit the braking power to the road. My car 306 has locked up countless times even with more expensive tyres and at quite crucial times, even on dry roads, resulting in one or two near misses. Spend the extra few quid and buy decent tyres.
