Try a 306 D Turbo and change your mind!
I am with the others on here who recommend the 306. Almost anything on that chassis is a hoot to drive, with proper steering feel and a great ride. Since there is no gain without pain, and as they are French, the electrics seem to have a Gallic shrug about them when it comes to working reliably! If you are looking at one, check twice that all the electrics work as they should.
On the plus side, the engines are good for 200k if the oil is changed regularly, and the parts are readily available as they are usually common to both Citroen and Peugeot. If I were to buy a classic, a 306 GTi-6 would be top of my list. HTH
