I hated my 1.6 306, it was unreliable, it DRANK fuel (350 miles to a full tank on the motorway), it was gutless, and the power band didn't exist, it was just flat.
When I bought my first HDi, as standard, on paper at least, they're pretty even, the HDi at 90 BHP and the 1.6 at 100 BHP. But the HDi was just so much better to drive, It wasn't much quicker, in fact it felt a tad slower, but the whole driving experience was better. Not to mention nearly doubling the MPG figure.
Then I went stage 1, now I'm in a stage 2, soon to go stage 3 and I don't think I'll ever go back to a petrol.
And before anyone says, yes, I have driven a '6, and yes, I have been in some properly properly quick petrols.
But I still severely upset someone in an Audi TT RS the other day by keeping up with him a little better than he expected
