I've had a MKII 1.6 Petrol Driver for years and been more than happy with
it's reliability, performance, MPG etc etc. But it's now 15 years old and
it's time for a change.

I've had a go in a 1.6 MKIII GL. Electric everything, PAS, airbags, good
performance the works but I'm disappointed with the handling :-(

The PAS doesn't give you much feedback and the suspension is really soft.
It is (IMHO) a pretty un-involving drive and it seems to wallow into
corners like a small barge. Are they all like this?

Don't get me wrong, in a straight line it does give a wonderfully smooth
ride that's far better than the MKII, but cornering and poorly weighted
PAS
is a let down for me. The dampers seem OK so I'm putting the handling
down
to the soft suspension. I'd be tempted to fit some slightly stiffer
springs
to sharpen things up a bit but I've only seen lowering springs (and I
don't
want to lower the car, this is not 'Pimp my ride' :-). Does anyone have
any
suggestions?
