I've never driven one but heard with a few basic mods they're actually quite fast, and that looks like a really well written ad!

GTI6 engine or the same 135 lump out of the Xsi's

^It's the 167bhp GTi6 engine AFAIK?

This is the same engine as the gti6 but with a 5 speed box

I've had a 306 Rallye, and a Xsara (90bhp HDi).

The engine is a good one, and the Xsara body is not as sought after as the 306, so should be a good cheap fun hatch.

However, the claim of 45mpg in the ad should be taken with a wheelbarrow of salt! I struggled to see 30mpg in it, never mind 45! (And I'm getting 35mpg from my recently purchased Trophy!)
