nelly306 Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 Hiya, Just wondered why this forum was so quiet! There are plenty of nice French cars out there! Who is driving them? Anyway, anyone heard much about the new 107? Ive heard its going to be mini-mpv like with a sliding door . Please tell me otherwise! I was hoping for a storming 107 GTi to be made!

Snail Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I've seen the piccys of that 107 in autoexpress.....doesnt appeal to me with that sliding door.........cant see how a GTI would work with a door like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A3Floyd Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 i'm an ex-saxo owner but it had to go cos the build quality was so aweful. Was a shame though cos it was a real joy to drive. Thats one thing i can say about the french; they do know how to make a good handling car. I had a go in my mates 206gti at the weekend and it too was far more fun than my S3 in the handling department. here's a piccy of my old saxo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Well I'm also an Ex French driver!! My last car was a 306 GTI-6 (and a Renault 19 16v before that). I changed to German due to build quality too!! Also both my previous cars suffered from head gasket issues so I was getting parnoid it was me..or French cars!! My 306 for a great car, despite the fact it was always going wrong!! Saying that I'd take my S3 over it anyday!! Pic attached (with the old kerbed allows before I changed them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelly306 Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 The GTI-6 does look fantastic in black. When I change my car, I would have considered the GTI-6, but like you guys have said, the cars lack the build quality. My 306 has excellent handling (grip, brakes, power, responsiveness) and my 106 before that did too. Most peugeots and (some) citreons are very good looking cars, it’s just a shame the parts weren’t posted to germany to be put together. Oh well, I shall enjoy it till I change my car to one from a manufacturer further east. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Yep When I was looking at buying a GTI-6 it HAD to be black...likewise with the guy who bought it off me!! It had the Clifford remote start system on it too, I love my gadgets I found the 306 had good brakes/performance/handling, yet I could make it understeer very easily, maybe I should of had better tyres?? When I test drove the S3 the Handling was sooo much better!! When I jumped back in my own car to drive home I kept waiting for the push of the turbo...but it never came!! To date the S3 is the best car I've owned, and thats not taking into account any repair bill comparisons!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelly306 Posted April 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 The S3 does sound like a nice car. Im the same with gadgets and have the Clifford remote start too! See here: Remote Start in 306 Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See here: Remote Start in 306 Neil [/ QUOTE ] Even had a similar stereo to you!! Mine was a sony, can't remember exactly what it was, but the whole face was the screen, then you could flip it round to have a normal face. With the remote start I loved starting it up just as someone was walking past, you could be no where near it the range was so good. The best one was when this women actually stopped walking and just stood there looking at the car, she just didn't know what to think Of course it was great for those winter mornings too!!

Ari Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 I used to have a French car a long time ago... A Peageot 309 Poverty, I mean, Style Seriously basic car with a 1.3 litre engine. I kept finding little bits of plastic trim on the floor that didn't seem to go anywhere. Had quite a collection of them by the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
