Unreliable is an understatement.

But then again, 0-60 in bout 7 and a top whack of 140 indicated is nowt to moan about. Look sexy, handle excellent and respond excellently to filter + zaust (just like its little sister, the 106).

My bro's got one, chipped, filter + zaust, and its 190+bhp.

Matt

PS: yes the gear box is poo. Very very long ratios, 6th is just a cruisin gear and the box itself is weak. My brother is on his 3rd in a few months.

Hmm... dont like the sound of these gearbox probs

Maybe ill think more about a 206 GTi (this btw is 2 replace my civic which I unfortunately will be selling soon in order 2 collect my final savings/reduce debts b4 natalie and I buy a house)

Yes Matt, is good spec

I have the choice (i suppose) of a newish (99/00) 206 GTi or I suppose a 97 306 GTi-6 but I cant be doing with forking out for repairs/new gearboxes etc.

I also like the look of Seat Ibiza 20v T Cupra's but they are slightly out of my range

Ur damn right. The electric windows, cig lighter + headlights have all given my bro probs

However, touch wood, my 306 has been ok

Altho i believe the ph2's did have more probs.

I think the best option wud be to go for the rallye, which was a stripped out GTi-6. Less things to go wrong then!

TVRs are unrelaible, not bloody Pugs. If it has regular problems then its a shitter, same with the gearbox.

You will have no reliability problems with the 306.

Also, deffo go for one over the 206. 206 looks more modern but handles like a Corsa and is very sluggish.

your oh-so wrong mate......we've got friends of the family who own em, and they've all been trouble. It has untold stalling problems, had to have new C/V's and driveshafts and loadsa other bits and bobs.

why would i bother making it up?? I'm not slating 306s, coz not only do i have one, but its never let me down!!!

i know a fella over here who sold his mk2 golf for a 306 GTi6, and says it was the worst decision he has ever made as the electrics in the car are a total fuk up and one thing after another fails weekly
