Hi all, basically i currently own a highly modified 306 Rallye, after a succession of 106 gti's. All my cars have had good money spent on the suspension, ie Bilstein Sprintline dampers, new bushes, etc etc and i only ever modify to improve handling and performance ....
I recently tried to be sensible after the 106 gti and bought a BMW 328i Sport, to be honest, it was a pile of rubbish, and the M3 wasnt much better - both have poor driver feedback, and feel like they are going to oversteer into a ditch at the nearest opportunity. i sold it after less than 2 months to buy my 306 ....
I am now considering buying another new car and have been considering an S3 (or maybe S4) as i like small fast hatchbacks, what im worried about is that people seem to think they handle rather poorly and the steering offers little in the way of feedback .... as an overall package, ie speed, tunability, comfort, interior etc they are perfect for me ..
But, im seriously worried that ill miss the driveability of my peugeots, ill regret selling the 306 ..... what can i do to have the best handling possible and still have an ok ride ... i really want an S3, but i want it to be abe to handle like a go-cart.
