167bhp, 6 speed gearbox, handling, looks.
Economy when driven hard!!
This is my third 306 now, I've previously owned a '97 D-turbo and an '01 1.8 XS, both of which were great cars but only boasted around 100bhp, give or take a few.
The Gti-6 is a completely different ball game! with almost 170bhp and a 6-speed 'close ratio' gearbox, it's still capable of biting the heels of newer performance cars such as the Civic TypeR and Golf Gti's! My most previous car was a mk4 Golf Gti 1.8T, chipped to 197 bhp by APR, but the Gti-6 seems a touch quicker. When driven hard, the Peugeot does enjoy a drink, but this is to be expected of a 140mph pocket rocket which will blast to 60 mph in less than 7secs!
If it's outright performance, race-track handling and excellent value you're after, buy a 306 Gti-6, or the maginally lighter 306 rallye!
