Driving
Excellent driver. Gearbox a bit notchy, but probably needs greasing.
Performance
Can't tell between gas and petrol, but 1.4 motor good with one or two people. Four and luggage a bit much for it.

Reliability
Bought at 42k miles. Done 4k so far without mis-hap.

Everybody in Central Scotland has a 306.

Nothing to report.
