Nowt to do with blinkers. Driven both, and for a road car, I think the better interior and things are more important than a bit more power or handling.

306 does handle better and might be a touch quicker, but I think the interior really lets it down. It feels like a boggo XN inside, and the clutch etc are the usual awful French crap.

It's a shame, cos it's a nice looking car, especially in Phase 3 form, and has a good chassis, but it doesn't feel a complete package to me with such a shonky interior, and the clutch/gear shift spoil it a bit, but then I've never liked that in any French hot hatch I've driven.

Each to their own at the end of the day
