Not now I don't. Tbh I never used to like 306s then when time came to look for a new car I had £1500 burning a hole in my pocket and thought f*ck it, let's see what the fuss is about!

That'll be a conversion. Looks sweet though! Always liked that colour on the coupes Smile I actually think the twin exhausts suit them quite nicely!

I was goung to get a V6 coupe, but the insurance (admiral I think) wouldn't swap to it from my 306!

A turbocharged Saab was ok though Confused

Hmm....still don't like the front ends on these tbh.

The rims look better on this than the usual mk4 golf you see them on, still too big for me though.

Insurance costs are absurd for the Coupé but much of it is down to the cost of replacement parts from the dealership, particularly panels! £ra*e.99

Also, I thought these only ever came with the 2.2 HDi lump, 2.0 petrol (138 XSi engine) and the 3.0 V6?

Not so keen on the example posted, looks over-wheeled TBH.

Got the typical Peugeot wheel arch issue though, for some strage reason, it seems Peugeot cannot make a wheel arch fit a WHEEL...

Look at the rear arch and see at the lowest point of the bumper, then look at the gap from there to the wheel - you could fit a small family of immigrants in there...

Just looks awkward... Dunno why...

I love it, but there's something not *right* about it?
