tom the thing your forgetting is that when people are out shopping for a brand new car, they are generally mid 20s and older and and not after a car for power....if your after a car for power, you dont buy a golf or a 306!
So really, the 306 made a good opponent to the golf...it was practically the same spec and had a very very reliable engine and were still 8k cheaper. and i dont care what you say, after spending pretty much all my life around the motor industry, VAGs are not that reliable!
DMFs are not nice, hence why the likes of VW, skoda ect replace them with solids under warranty when needed, hydro clutches are just another thing to go wrong, as my skoda proved and a 6speed box isnt always for economy. % speed box can also be very economical
