It has the worlds skinniest tyres for a start (And i bet they were budgets) and cheap soft suspension. If you have ever driven a GTi or a 106 with GTi spec suspension, as Liam says you would know that they handle very very well. Better than a 306 id say!
Fair enough but this isn't about handling - it's more about grip.
Yes the tyres were skinny but if there was enough weight to keep them in contact with the tarmac there'd be a lot more grip. The 306's were the same at the rear without a full tank or a boot full of crap....except the one with the Koni (solid) rear shocks lol, that jumped even worse! Might have something to do with the rear beam too tbh....the cars with proper suspension deal with the same situation better...
Maybe it's personal preference as well.... I prefer something with a bit of weight for daily driving, don't expect everyone to lol.
Not gonna say any more on this this though, just spamming Stephens thread, sorry Stephen lol.
