Excellent info. Thanks. Sounds like it's a solid platform then. Would be a big change from my 306! At least I'm used to cars that like to spit you into the hedges if you drive like badly. The one I'm looking at is probably the m-sport as I think that's the only spec they sold down here and the last owner has put 19's on. They look great but imagine it drives fairly harshly. Would be changing that.

Link only takes me to the front page, not sure I found the right car but most are M-Sport spec. They definitely look better and probably handle better if the roads are nice near you.
Ah weird. No worries. Thanks for the input so far. I'll give the dealer a call today. The roads here are a mix of smooth and absolutely shite... Sooo, yeah need a bit of sidewall.
