Toms306s HDi Replacement...Haterz Gonna Hate!

[C.A.R.]

Vauxhalls just fail to be emotive cars IMO, and I've grown up around them. You always get the impression they were built to a strict price. Tons of toys, but often in a low-rent package with very under-styled interior/exterior.

That's not to say they don't have their place. The 306 is not better than any Vauxhall it pre-dates, if that makes sense. But at least the 306 is emotive somewhat. The Vectra does make for an un-enthusiastic ownership proposal IMO.

But none of that matters, since the car will serve its purpose and do it well. I do feel that Tom is looking at it through rose-tinted glasses however, and I also think he's been ripped off too, looking at similar prices in the classifieds. In immaculate condition the car is worth 2900 from a dealer...

I hope you enjoy it Tom, but I also really hope you don't spout on about it on a 306 owners forum like its the second coming of Christ, especially in such un-related threads! (Shhh nobody utter the letters MPG!)
