New around these french waters being more of an English man or japanese man when it comes to cars. But my brother had a pug gti in blighty and I loved it. Also I have always fancied a r5 turbo.
Anyway..now looking for a car for while hannahs parents are over. Something with more space than my viva and nicer than our bouncy 4wd hiace. Fancy giving france a go.

Hi cam :)
Welcome along, hope you find something interesting to drive :)
:)cheers
Oh..I found this. Looks good on paper. I remember the rave reviews they got from performance car mag years ago. Seems like an ok price? Is it?
You didnt link anything... what is it ? :o
Whoops. I blame friday morning..
Here..

Welcome along. You're a OSer I take it?
The GTI-6 is a good fun car & comfortable + modernish. That particular one looks quite good. The price is reasonable & low mileage is a big plus as most of them are getting fairly high now. Offer $2500 perhaps and you should be able to get it for $3000 or maybe even less if you bargain hard. The heater is a bad design & it's a whole dash out job to replace the matrix, hence it's likely to be disconnected (have done this on one of mine).
Cheers
I did the same on my 306 as the heater core failed, I also had issues with the window regulator and the darn cloth on the seats comes free over time.
But overall a good looking car.
Yeah I hail from the os side. Look up vauxhall viva mazda v6 on google and thats me.
Sweet- quite keen on this pug or something similar. Would still love an r5 turbo but a bit small for task in hand.

Hi cam :)
Haere mai!
I have a 4X4 Hiace also, can relate to the bounciness.
Enjoy.
I can only imagine what a 90s 306 would be like ride wise compared to a 87 hiace or 68 viva. Plush.
Renault 5 turbos.. how often do they come up for sale. I missed one that was in dunedin on tm. Wish I bought it now.
I could count on the fingers of one hand the number of R5 GT turbos that I have seen for sale in the last few years, they're pretty thin on the ground.
I used to lurk on OS every now and then, that's an interesting conversion putting the Mazda V6 into the Viva. How well does it go?
Which R5 in Dunedin? How did I miss that one.
This will be perfect

Great cars in my opinion. Rather difficult to find one in that spec, but there it is. Hope it finds the right owner soon.
Welcome, btw, Alex!
I am eyeing one at the moment. It is parked and collects spiders but the person can't get around selling it apparently bugger . I keep trying and maybe i will get it before it rots under the plastic guards !!!!!
That is a R5 GT TURBO i am talking about 8)
Hi Alex!
definitely hit that BX wagoon!
