im gunna throw a spanner in the works, as always.... id think the 306 could give the golf a run for its money, dont forget, power doesnt overrule weight, the golf will be much heavier than the 306 which is a naturally lighter car anyway, with the 1.4 petrol being a lighter engine too, id probably ride my money on the golf IMO, a 75bhp 306 with a 90bhp golf, allowing for the turbo lag on the golf, id say to 60mph the 306 would see your golf.

thats fair enough.i havnt got my golf on the road,as iv just bought it and it had SORN for the last month.tomorrow hopefully also,my car hasnt been driven for an unknown number of months, im guessing about 3months, and when i got it home,the brakes were awful,but from driving up my lane,they have dramatically improved. i have been advised that the discs maybe rusty, and so i have been trying to burn it off. i havnt yet looked to see if the discs are rusty and/or pitted.any idea what could be wrong?because i cant skid the wheels at 30mph(this maybe irrelevant,i dont know) cheers

why on earth would you WANT them to skid at 30mph? if this happend, would there be any point in having abs? the idea of abs is to stop the wheels locking up and reducing the chances of skidding, if you are just braking hard from 30mph to skid the car it probably wont happen.

2nd thing is, skidding the car wont mend rusty discs, if its surface rust, itll wear off gradually through use, if the discs are actually pitting then they need replacing, brakes are one of the things you cant afford to take a chance on...
