Repairs/parts can be a little on the expensive side, but it is the same for all modern hatches. As for the looks, I actually think that they are quite good looking. in 2002 when that shape first came out, it was a bit different but most hatches seem to have some form of big bum now so the shock of the massive arse has mellowed with age. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Ride comfort is good, they are a good balance between firmness and comfort. Although, the lightness of the steering doesn't give you as much confidence as the steering in a 306. It is a LOT more refined than a 306 and generally a nice place to be, ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Just cause you/people have got used to the shape does not make it any less ugly!!!!  Its the angles of the rear hatch/glass and flatness of the glass that looks awful imo  ________________________________________ Red GTB1756 powered Fabia VRS daily driver,LBSC Gti6 eater........Mac1 ZR R1 kit car build in progress. |

I must admit, I'm with Kev on this one...I bet they are cracking cars to drive, however I just don't get what the engineers were thinking about the look. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Here is my R26. I quite like the looks. (Especially from the front). Note, these are my winter wheels, that is why it hasn't got R26 wheels fitted. I can Kindof see what Kev means by the tailgate glass though:  I wouldn't say that it is too bad from behind either.  That said, when they first came out, I always used to joke that you would always have to reverse them into a parking space to hide the back end.
