I like that word Credibility coming from them, now that is the funnest thing

belky why come here you twat

At last an intelligent post from someone who has actual experience. IMHO NZ is just on the wrong side of the world to buy a euro car as your perhaps only family transport.If I lived in France and owned a Falcodore I would have exactly the same sort of problems owing a French car is this country can produce. (Ive owned/driven/repaired French cars for 35 years so am speaking from day to day experience)

i just got here. why have the fanboy sirens been left on !

This thread is a great example of many things about French car ownership, there are those who have never owned them, butwill tar them all with one brush, and there are those who have owned them, maintained them, had a good run and will rush to their defense.One of the arguments here seems to pertain to the 306's handling, this strikes me as odd,finding an equivalent jap hatch that will inspire the same confidence in cornering is a tall order indeed. The styling of the 306 went through three phases and the phase 3 shape has aged better than any jap hatch from the period you care to name, they have torsion bar rear ends so they have way more load space than your jappa and they are galvanized so do not rust. The 306 gti-6 had a six speed manual almost a decade before it became standard on many hatches and the common rail diesel and earlier mechanical inj diesel turbos are easily some of the best oil burners on the market,[most do 500'000ks if looked after] again, in 2000 you could buy a 306 hdi, old shape car, new hdi tech'. but a lot of people won't see beyond the badge and won't ask any questions.I have owned 5 french cars now.205gti [an icon, no question], 309gti [huge load space and when empty almost as chuckable as the 205], 106gti [a giant killer in anything other than a straight line, and would have been top gears best handling car of the period if clarkson hadn't overruled everyone like the flappy mouth prat he can be at times], 306hdi [current, comes with gti bodykit and alloys as standard, 1000k's on a tank easy, parts have NOT been an issue] & a citroen saxo 1.6i, [bought cheap, won't rust, honest little car, parts have been easy].

To sum it up, there are some horrible engines in the psa range and there are some horrible transmissions too, but if you know what you're doing and where to look you can get a load of car for your cash, they ride well, they eat distance, they age well, they carry a lot and they win every rally you could care to name and have done since forever.

Yes you are far more eloquent than I my last PSA cars was a 406 2.1 TDI very comfortable and fast ate Falcons for snacks I now have a Xsara diesel which has an upgraded 306 floorpan and suspension very quiet comfortable great roadholding car. Ive owned and driven lots of Jappas simply no comparism Jap cars are designed around a speed limit French cars arent and it shows on twisty roads. For those who like bland boring cars Jappas are for you handy too if you have no mechanical apptitude as they tend to keep going most of the time.

To mock idiots.

205gti=most fun possible whilst keeping pants on.

Sure.

What Jap cars would they be!

There's the third option too - people like me who would to own one but haven't (yet).
