anyone else get this?
put alot of effort into the car and spend so much time on seemingly endless problems, and yet it still always has something to throw at you.
Sometimes that is the fun of it and thats why we love it but lately mine is just frying my head!
it is soooo uncomfortable to drive, you feel every tiny bump and it feels like the car is made of cheese!!

I've had this since october. Only just starting to feel the love again as I think I've got to the bottom of most of the issues now.
It's also due in no small part to the weather finally starting to get better, meaning I'm able to enjoy driving it a bit more...

I like mine too but the interior is horrible
RD, when you say it's uncomfy, do you mean the seats or the driving position....that's what it is for me, I like to stretch my legs but when I do, I've got to stretch to the s/wheel and gearknob....and if I move the seat in, yes I can reach them fine, but my knees are against the dash....it's a pitfkna

i mean the suspension i suppose, I had a hdi 307 d turbo model before and as shite as it was, it was flipping comfortable. the 306 handles great and on a flat road its okay, but through town and ANY kind of bumpy road its a nightmare!

I think the trouble is that you are used to how a modern car will try hard to isolate you from the road and surround you in comfort.
The 306 is getting on for 20 years old now, back then technology and priorities were different...
