Toms306's China HDi Estate 2012

[Niall]

Shock horror, much newer car with massively bigger proportions, tyre tread and weight corners better than knackered old 12 year old estate! Stop press, we got ourselves a genius here!

What you're experiencing is not 'better handling' necessarily but 'increased grip'

But it's easy to get the two mixed up when you haven't driven a performance car before :p

Wait...the way you worded that is as if a Vectra is a performance car....

But seriously, people always say you can't beat a 306 through the twisties......but if even a heavy, boring Vectra can then I'm sure theres a hell of a lot of cars that can lol!

The Golf though? Certainly not, that had bodyroll AND lots of understeer...despite also being heavy and having wide tyres....hmm....

Next time im up your way, i challenge you to a drive through some country roads. I will bet matts rallye you will be lost in the remains of the slight blue haze emerging from my exhaust.
