What are these like to live with? Reliable? Don''t really give two hoots about fuel consumption but I think I'm going to shift the Corsa and get one of these or a Rallye! I know Rob B has a Rallye and it's lovely

rallye has a 5 speed box.
lowering by notches is such a cowboy way to do it as well. cheap for now but when the beam fails it'll cost you £300+ to fix it.
other than that it looks good, my mates got a black one and theyre quick! bastard to do any work on though, done his clutch for him this week and it took a couple of days! could do my saxo in 3 hours
Rallye has 6 speed box exact same as a Gti6 mate , only differance between them is the rallye has no air con no elec windows no leather .. And has some cool wee stickers on the outside and no front fog lights  . Do agree though hardly any room to work on these , just fitted my group n mounts the other day pretty easy job and what a differance it has made
M Sutton - Fantastic looking car mate , just plain and simple with decent mods .. also have just bought me second Gti6 another Blaze Yellow one .. Are you a member over on 306gti6.com ? few nice charged ones over there especially the Lynx 420bhp Demo car! to name one .
only one ive seen was a 5 speed. must be an xsi box swap?
my mates is standard engine wise and the clutch is all thats caused any problems. does drink fuel though, sub 20mpg on a good run

tbh just like any other car as long as there looked after there fine , but hey can be bad for sensors etc going , pretty easy to change them over though . Just make sure the timing belt has been done or if getting done make sure its someone that knows what they are doing with these engines as if not done correctly they tap like hell when done ( bent valves! ) i have had this problem before on my old 6 . Brilliant cars for daily commute comfy , quite quick for how big they are and awesome handling even in standard form for thos b road blasts! .. Back end is a bit tail end happy but so much more controlable compaired to a 106 Gti . Fuel consuption if your that bothered is actually really good . i would say its better on fuel than my valver gsi was .
My advice would be to find a standard one and take things from there then you have a good base to start with.
Would also recomend the group n mounts that baker bm do !
