I personally would go for the 106GTi, purely for looks, but they ARE slower.

That video (I'm assuming the one that Steve put up) was a load of bollocks I'd go for the GTi-6 as I see 106 GTi's all the time and VERY rarely see a GTi-6.

the 306 is a lot nicer on motorways, cruising at 90mph in a 106 is probably it's limits.

whats quite a bit?? .5 sec 0-60??? that wouldn't even be noticable on the road, 0-100??? probably would of go to a bend by then when the 106 would out brake and out handle the 306.

We have a 306 local its quick fair do's..
well the handling on the 106 is great for a fwd car..

but the extra gear and 170bhp (167) is appealing!

hmmm

add cams, exhaust, induction kit and a remap and the 106 will be 170bhp.
