Gorgeous, but how on earth are you supposed to do a clean oil change with two oil filters face-down in the V?
Punch a hole in them and let it drain.

^^^^^^^ 106 Rallye vs 306 Rallye \/ \/ \/ \/ ... argue



http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/p...
Tough call, I think for me the 106 edges it........ Just............ But I am not sure i would take an equally mint 106 GTi. Ahhhh biggrin
Personally, I'd go with the 306. The 106, lovely as it is, doesn't handle as well as the 306. Electric PAS has no feel and the 306 is so much easier to control at the limit. Nicer engine too.

Some 106 Rallye S2s had a non-PAS rack, that could improve things enough but I doubt it
Loved my mint S1:

Only ever driven a 306 DTurbo, but can see the appeal.

t's not especially cheap, and not got what I'd call a "full Porsche service history": there are three gaps of two years between services in it's life.
Manufacturer recommended intervals though for the mkii.

Every picture they have of that car offers something to savour.

Vague recollections of double-wrapped stunt poles and barge cocks.

I recall conversations about a dealer with a similar looking frontage, but not T-F.......that was IMC IIRC?

Meh! can't stand the things!

Always prefered my MG Maestro 2.0i, but I am a bit strange!, and before anyone say's it I know the Maestro has the structural integrity of a used Tea-Bag, I always thought mine drove better than the equivalent Golf...

Go on you lot do your worst.......

My name's TDM34 and I like Maestro's..... wink

My Dad had a blue Maestro 1.3 van with Mountney steering wheel and it was the fastest thing in the world.

FACT.

Would rather have another Golf GTI though wink
