^ Sounds like my 182, although the steering was actually pretty good from memory.I also forgot, as John pointed out that the engine doesn't sound great and the double-decker bus sized steering wheel that melts. Only had mine 3 months before the diff started getting noisy so I got rid. ________________________________________ Cherry Red 306 HDIChampionship White Integra DC5 Type R |

I think the engines sound quite good with an enclosed Viper filter on. Just goes to show how we all have a seperate opinion.________________________________________  |

Ive had all four gti6/rallye/ep3/clio 172 and personaly I enjoyed all of them and to be fair my 6 had a beter spec than the rallye and I could notice it straight away , all depends on what you want to do with each one as there all got good/bad points about them .... Just suck it and see thats the best advice as your feel of a car would be diffrent to some one elses________________________________________ "Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks.

I like my friend's 182 as it's got climate control, xenons and cruise control etc., gets better MPG and despite being a bit smaller inside than a 306 it is overall a nice place to sit. I've never driven it but his with good tyres and cup suspension certainly feels like it handles well as a passenger.Having said all of this, I probably wouldn't spend more money than you could to get a good 306 on one if it didn't have all the nice kit in it as a major advantage of it in my eyes is hot hatch fun with nice comfort features. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

I've not long had my Rallye tbh, but I absolutely love it! The sound of it, way it handles, driving position, and just the fact every time I drive it, it puts a big smile on my face. I had an Audi Coupe 2.0 16v on a '93 before this, which was a lovely looking car, fabulous build quality, comfort etc, but it was boring to drive. My Rallye is like driving a go-kart, its just great. For what its worth, I'd save and 'cam it'. These little Pugs are (in my opinion) quite a bit of kit for the money, they are fast, handle well and look the dogs, and how many do you see now - not many. At the end of the day its your choice and your money, good luck with what ever you decide  ________________________________________ Bianca 306 Rallye.Mondeo Titanium X. |

Always the same when you haven't had something long.I'm unsure how long Alek has owned the Rallye, but I can't blame him for thinking it's perhaps time for something different. We often get comfortable. If you have the cash and space - perhaps buy something else and put the Rallye to one side for the winter. Come Summer you could see whether the grass was ________________________________________ |

I had a scooby and now have a highboost. the scooby was fun but tbh the running costs are far higher than a 6 even a supercharged one. I would say sell if you want a change but I'd say keep if you're going to go for another fwd unless it's turbo most of the other fwd ive driven and owned don't match the 6 for character but I'm probably biased now  ________________________________________ Super high boost Completed, destroyer of gearboxes and 160mph club |
