The hot hatch is a genre that, in the early 1990s, very nearly went for a Burton. Victims of their own success and desirability, these speedy shopping trolleys were almost hunted to extinction by thieves and insurance companies, leaving us with watered-down wet lettuces like the Clio RSi, the god-awful Fiesta Si and the 306 XSi.
The 306 GTi-6 was one of the cars that brought the hot hatch back from the brink. "It's fanciful and unrealistic to keep looking for the 205 GTi's successor, but the 306 GTi-6 is as near as anyone has got so far," said Autocar back in late 1996, and in some senses it was right.
I'm telling you now, I wouldn't even rise to it with a snobby post these days (I'm about to contradict myself here), but 3-ish years ago, when I was off my Ford's and bumming my first french machine (306 gti-6 don't you know) I would of stuck my nose up high and looked down upon all of thee in
DISGUST!
Thankfully I'm not as much as a prick as I was then (up for discussion!) but thought it was worth a post up for comment if anyone gives a damn.
Now where is my high horse smiley...
