This car gives civic type r's and Clio 172's a race for their money. If you have only got 5k budget to spend on a car and want a sporty hot hatch then this is your car.
It's never broken down on me and never refused to start up. If you look after this car then it will look after you.
This car's handling is amazing, and you will be able to chase anything round a corner in the GTi6 due to the rear wheel steering which comes in.
The late phase 3 306's all look the same with the cyclones, fog lights and skirts so it's very subtle and can easily surprise performance cars! This car has got 140 on the clock and I have gone past that so the car proves itself!
The clutch is very stiff, but will only take you a couple of days to get used to it and before you know it you won't realise it's any different from any other car!
It does drink fuel though as on average I tend to get about 300 miles to £50 of fuel.
Being a French car you do tend to get a few rattles as it's a little 'tinny' but I think it is quite solid. My GTi6 is now 5 years old and only has 1 rattle from the sunroof which I don't think is too bad for a car of that age!
My car was involved in an accident and the cars either side ended up worse than mine sitting in the middle which was sandwiched!
Overall...it's a good car all round and I think it can give you what ever you want out of it!
Will give a type-r and clio 172 a run for their money? I think not.
As for giving a Clio 172s and Type-Rs a run for there money, I think it would. It handles far better than those two barges.
Next time come up with a useful comment instead of a pointless reply, for example maybe a qualification of your statement "I don't think so". Snore.
...Yeah back it up man!!! Civic type r's aren't that quick, and as for 172 clios, well, they don't go like they have 172bhp..

Civic type r was rated as best handling hot hatch for several years by virtually all motoring journalists at the time, so to say the gti 6 handles much better is a bit short sighted of you. especially since the type r would have been compared to all the hot hatches of the time including the gti 6 which it bettered. not saying the gti is poor because its not in fact its very good, but its not better than the type r.
The type r gets to 60 nearly 2 seconds quicker that's atleast a 5 car gap if they had a drag race, and the 306 would probably break down before it gets to 60.
Lol its more than a five car gap especially when your going from low eights to low six's. I would say about 25 meters at least. if you think athletes can run 100 meters in 10 seconds which is like 10 meters per second and they aren't running anywhere near 60 mph. the gap between a gti6 and a type r is massive. type r in a completely different class.
