Maybe one day you'll find one. They are getting rare though. Think mine was the only one for sale in aus. You've definitely had some of the best hot hatches ever - you may have found the GTi6 a little soft! I've been having second thoughts all day though - buyer is coming tomorrow to get it. Time for one last wash & vac and little run through some local roads.
Driving it does remind you of how much modern cars have lost the plot lately. The 6 is soft and compliant, rolls on turn in and picks the inside rear wheel up - but so fast through the corners and adjustable - instant throttle response too. Just fast, comfortable and fun - even at low speeds.

Yep it looks like an honest car and mechanically you'd done all the things I would have done. I always thought I'd own a GTi-6 or a Rallye at some point as I'd had a 205 GTi and a couple of 106's (Ph1 1.4 XSI and Ph1 Rallye) but it never happened. After looking on Autotrader UK (21 306's nationally - none of which are the hot ones) and Pistonheads (1 cab) I'm beginning to think that it'll never happen!
