Pug 306 cab..

Quite like the look of these, and after looking at various soft tops I saw one today with a nice tanned leather interior and thought it looked quite tasty..

Do they have the good handling genes of the hatchback? Or as flacid and floppy as an old mans old man thank to the loss of the roof?

I reckon the 2.0 or the 1.8 might be worth a go, but a tastefull exhaust on it just to give it a big more shout rather than a racket. Open top motoring with hatchback running costs..

Wether its reliable is another question..

Yeah I'm not looking to get lift off oversteer etc..

Just wondering wether its enjoyable enough cruising down some nice country lanes on a nice sunny evening

What other choices of four seat cabs are there for about 2bags of sand??

1.8/2.0 engines apart from vw golf and the dreaded ford escort?

Ill be getting it just before next summer when my lease runs out but need to make my mind up otherwise I won't commit and save my monies.

And with regards to the golf looking as good? I really don't think so.. Normally I'm a golf fan boy but the cabrio looks like just a hatch with the roof chopped off and not stylish and sleek(ish) car IMO.
Plus the golf cab with mk4 nose stuck on it looks abit st if you ask me.. Again IMO.
