i am not trolling am pointing out my valid opinion on an open discussion forum!
I would also like to point out the peugeot had a 3.0 v6 conversion albeit poorly done which eventually was the demise of the car i was interested inturbo charging it. I also had 1.9 dt but a piston decided it wanted to throw itself out of the block!
It just amuses me that to alot of you on here the 306 is the best car in the world and everything else sucks, which is definately not true and the main reason vags keep their price is because of how good they are.

But if you had bothered to read the thread, you would notice we aren't talking about the percieved value of the vehicle itself, we are talking about the relative performance and handling characteristics against contemporary vehicles including, as it happens Vags & bimmers.

The mk4 golf is a very comfortable vehicle. This, and the fact that every surrey yummy mummy bought a v5 to take the kids to school before the range rover took off are responsible for the comparative lack of depreciation. In reality, they are soggy to drive, understeery to the point of tedium, came with luke warm engines, the tdi's shit gearboxes, the v5s should never have been invented, the aesthetics are bland, the electrical gremlins are rife, and they cost a comparative fortune to fix/service.

The reason why a lot of us like the 306 is ultimately for the feeling they imbue when driving them. No, they aren't the best cars in the world, no they aren't the quickest, or the most reliable, or the most beautiful, or the best handling. They are a hoot to drive, have a variety of characterful engines and they don't cost a huge amount to run. Contrary to almost any car you care to mention from BMW or VAG...

I could go on, but I'll spare you the tedium of reading anything further contradictory to your clearly blinkered opinion on cars.....
