I always liked 306's when I was growing up, then a couple of years later my elder brother bought a gti6 and that was it I was sold!
After passing my test I really wanted a gti6 but obviously couldn't afford to insure one so my first car I went for a 165bhp Renault 19 16v which ended up costing me 3 grand a year to insure lol.
After tye first year I decided the ridiculous insurance costs got to be too much so I flogged the Renault and bought my 1st 306, a blaze yellow 1.6xs with a gti6 interior. I LOVED that car especially the way it handled. I just wanted a little more go so on went a set of motorbike carbs, it was no gti6 but a very fun car none the less.
I then went down the Honda route fir the next 6 years owning 5 different mb6's of various specs. In February my son was born and when my missus went off for maternity I flogged the civic to help us get through and we went down to one car as it was only me working.
My missus went back to work full time at the start of December.
So early September I scraped together all the cash I could and started looking for a gti6 as It ticks all their boxes for me i can get my missus amd son in and even the german shepherd fits in the boot (even if i do have to fold her ears down lol) and I still had the urge to own one. Found a very tidy blaze 6 for £1000 so I snapped his fingers off and here I am. Once again a very happy 306 owner again.
It may not be ever reliable like the Honda but its certainly more fun!
