I just don't get it. The 306 D-Turbo is a 13.6 second 0-60 car... surely it would need serious money spent to make it into a fast car?

Bah, I'm confused!

turn the boost and the fueling up both very easy to do and you have a car with 120bhp and also a hell of alot more torque dare i say close to 200 lb/ft or so :O

owned a vts for a couple of years. Ł40 to fill up got around 400 miles out of the tank , quick enough car. reasonable to insure too
Need to watch out for the rear bushes. If these are done in you will see the rear wheels sitting at an angle.
Other than that go for it if it is cheap enough.

The pedals are close together, but once you have driven it for a while you soon get used to them
