I've been telling my girlfriend to get one of these because they look great and are probably fairly cheap to run. Plus 306's drive well but I suspect the cab is not so hot?

Did they only come in 2.0 in the UK? That's all I could see when I got an insurance quote. Even so it came out at £630 versus ~£420 for her 106 1.1 so surprisingly not too much more expensive.

Is it the nasty 2.0 8v? Is there a 16v as well? And is there also an S16 (GTi-engined) version? Is the 'roadster' different? Is the roof electric? Does it leak? Is it as sensible to own as a Golf cabriolet?

What's it like to run? My family runs an independent garage which helps.. but it's just I'm sure she'll feel guilty if it's always being fixed or causing headaches!!
