[355858]

hi guys, i'm looking to get a new car start of next year, i love my saxo but it only being a 1.1 is lacking power and aint really big enough, is there any other cars u guys reckon i shud get?

Ive been looking at the peugeot 306? opinions?

also whats the difference between hdi and turbo diesel???

any help appreciated

Get a Quiksilver. :)

[smartgavin]

hdi doesnt have a turbo?

[TheVtrKid]

my friends got a 306, she loves it, sed she had no problems at all. But depends what your looking for. Fast? Sporty Look? Performance?

I think the HDIs are turbo diesel mate.
Have just been looking on autotrader :P

I have heard very good things about the 306 HDIs. Nice comfy cars,
pretty good engine and dont look half bad either!
Especially the ones with the pug cyclone alloys on.

2 be honest i'm looking for something, which is fast for overtaking but thats about all, something thats comfortable is what i'm really after.. is there any other cars i could consider?

which will be better though hdi or t diesel??

[PugDan]

106 Quiksilver. :)

[355858]

oh right ok, so maybe best to go for one of them then?

[rushy_23]

Check on autotrader mate you will find that the HDI is a turbo diesel.

Well if your looking at a HDI then im guessing you are looking more at
doing miles in the car and consumption??

BTW not sure i follow you when you say "fast for overtaking"

overtaking what lol?

[Corsa_john]

Seat ibiza!

[355858]

yeah but i want something bit bigger than a saxo as find im taking alot of ppl out now..

[355858]

well what im saying is my 1.1 doesnt exactly do overtaking very well so want something that will get round something a bit faster than sort of sitting beside them for about 10 mins! lol

[PugDan]

206? There good cars.

[Corsa_john]

Seat ibiza 1.6 sport.

mates got a 306 rally bit old now but still v quick 176 bhp as standed i think

[alastairbax]

i have 2 cars at the mo, a 306 HDi (which im selling if anyone wants...finishes on ebay at 10 ish tonight) and a 106 GTi, the 306 HDi is a turbo, it has the same power as the older 306 turbo diesel (pre 2000) both have around 90BHP however the HDi is much better for tuning, a remap from Angel tuning will take it up to 120BHP for about £300, with this you'll get 120mph happily enough, and 60 in about 10sec flat, also you can get intercooler kits, for around 300 - 400 squid taking to about 150BHP. And you will still get 45-50MPG or 500-600 miles on one tank!
Another Diesel option is the Mk4 Golf TDi 110 BHP standard, this cant be remapped but can be chipped to around 150BHP for around £400

I doubt they are that quick though. Most likely just under VTR performance?

[355858]

106 Quiksilver. :)

a 106 Quicky is niether lol :P

how much are you looking to spend, a 306 is a great little motor, but the 1.4's and 1.6's are very heavy quite sluggish cars, i've been in both, but with the old turbo diesel, you won't have any problems there mate. Depending on how much you have to spend and how old you are, alot of eople consider the Audi A3 as a step-up from the Saxo!

[rushy_23]

Puma is the same size as a Fiesta really.

Pumas are pretty nice, especially the 1.7 Zetec SE.
If you are considering a Puma, then maybe look at the Fiesta Zetec S?

Nice cars to drive (dont tell Mike lol)

[355858]

im only 20 so dont think i can afford an a3 although would love one :) i was looking at the 2.0 hdi or turbo diesel?

[alastairbax]

sure only want 2k for it, well thats the reserve

HDI is the PSA version of the 'common rail' diesel engine technology. its in it 2nd generation now with some going to 3rd generation (i.e. higher injection pressures).


All commercial diesel engines manufacturer today are turbo'd.
