306 XSI

Well, how I feel today I wish I did ******* die. Everyone is really getting to me.

Im sorry but you only have yourself to blame

my 306 has stayed relatively glued to the road with my new tyres and im fairly confident in its roadhandling, as are a lot of review sites. Theres not much body roll (compared to similiar class cars) and mine certainly grips plenty for me. And what FWD isnt going to have lift-off oversteer

306 is a class motor imo, admittedly overtaken in different departments by various cars, but i find mine comfy, its not to small (comparing to learner cars here, fiesta/corsa/rover 200, cars like that) and its got fine handling for me, along with enough grunt when needed (honest ) and i dont think you can really beat one for a first car. Other than if you can stomach the xsara's looks.

Errr, all the ones without torsion bars?

Lift off oversteer can happen to any car

No, its just torsion bar cars are more prone to it.

Cars with "conventional" suspension will still lift-off oversteer, it's just a little harder to provoke.

Ask Kate, on the way to Oxford I had her Mondeo doing it on every roundabout. Or DRZ at the OMFG BBQ

I would say in a 4 wheel ABS system its pretty mandatory that they are all discs.

Why would you say that? ABS normally acts on all 4 wheels - otherwise it would be quite dangerous!

I have 4 wheel ABS.

I do not have rear discs.

My old Mondeo was quite happy to do it too, it was a lot easier to predict and control than the Pugs though.

I have to say, you have a cool girlfriend who lets you rag her car .
