I find EXACTLY the same with my GTi6...
After driving the Diesel even with shagged bushes, driving a lot of other 306s, GTis, Diesels, and other models... I've never been that unhappy with a cars handling.... I find 306s usually beautifully balanced, able to throw them into corners, know when the ass is going to step out... This one is none of those words, feels like a big unwieldy lump... reminds me hilariously of a mk4 golf I drove....
I can't put my finger on it, it just doesn't feel right on the road, it doesn't like gripping the road, it wanders all over the place.... I couldn't keep up with my housemate in a 115hp Vauxhall Zafira the other day down a backroad, because the back end is just SO tail happy, the front end doesn't like gripping...
It just doesn't feel right at all... I have no confidence in the car, but I CBA spending any money on it to work out what the hells up with it...
