That's fair enough, I'd agree that over sharp bumps it can be a little skittish but I think that's more down to the low profile tyres on the 18's and how I've got my damping setup currently, I imagine with 17's with a slightly thicker sidewall the handling would improve further but in stock guise it was very planted even over sharp bumps (that was on 14 year old dampers/springs too). The independent suspension also means if you hit a bump with one wheel, the entire car doesn't jump or skip. In stock guise you do 'feel' the weight more due the aforementioned roll but you can pick up a set of eibach for the same price as you could for a 306 (and easy to fit.. no TB's FTW!!) which would sharpen up and reduce the roll to no end and cheaply, but keeping it comfortable.

I was a little 'worried' as to the difference between FWD and RWD especially given a 306 and a '46 are so different but it's just something to get used to, you can use the throttle pedal to help push the back round, but they aren't as tail happy as most people expect and generally will understeer before oversteering as they're setup for grip (not to say you can't get them sideways however..)

I would say (dare i?) that coming on/off the throttle is a lot more stable in a '46 than say a GTi6, but I think a lot of that is down to the weight distribution.. GTi is like nearly 70% front weight? Where as '46 (in fact basically all bimmer) is 50/50.

S14, if one comes up.

Do you even read bro!?
