Number 9

[procta]

Also, procta, I had nothing but problems with 4 306s, that doesn't mean I wouldn't own another though. You really can't buy cars on the amount of problems other people have had with them, you'd never buy any car if that was the case lol. For example, my neighbour owns an EVO8, had tonnes of major problems like transfer box failing and has spent an extra 4k on it since buying it....but you can't tell me you wouldn't have one.

tom, what i have heard about vags, when they go wrong they go wrong and are a very expencive to fix. my mate with his A4 spent well over 2.5k on repairs, another lad wound his golf up and f*cked the turbo and seized the engine, heard another story from a manager who had a mate who remapped an A4 and that poped its turbo,
funny thing is tom, i havent read anyone on here whos f*cked their turbos after a map, or spent well over 2.5k in repairing a 306, maybe that and more on upgrading it.
before i buy a car i look at the reviews and test drive a few cars,
i looked at the R25 derv as an upgrade to the rover metro i had,
thing with that was rover had gone bust so there was no way i was gonna spent 2.5k on a car thats value would have dropped like a rock,
ford focus was too expencive to buy at the time, also these had a good right up too.
nissan almera i looked at, yet again these are very expencive to fix when they go wrong too.
with my dad having a 405 then a 406, they were bomb proof so that gave pug the upper edge on the ones i have mentioned. the 306 happend to have the same running gear, came into budget and that was it. i searched for a good one and by christ the ones i have had id own them again and again.
also evos dont do nothing for me, iam more into the cosworths and sleepers.
old school and unsuspecting is the way to go!
