why did you buy your saxo? why do you like it?

[Jimmy-Boy]

As response to all the negative threads i want to hear some good things about them :)

so why did you buy your saxo?
why do you like it?

etc. :A:

[Elliott]

got it for free:P

so i didnt complain

[Jimmy-Boy]

Awsome :P

[Danr]

I bought my first off my cousin. Was a 52 plate 1.1 with 40k on the clock for £1400. Treated me well, i didn't need to do anything to fix it and was a fine run about.

Then bought an xr2 which was awesome but not practical so i bought a vtr off Karl. Was cheapish and looked alright. Again was fine to run about in, nippy when i wanted it and a right laugh. In the end i just wanted something a touch bigger. Would have a vts if i didn't do my job.

[Jimmy-Boy]

Sounds good :)

[Mark51]

i wanted to look like a chav!

lol, a fun little car with "go-kart" handling

[pink-lady]

was bought mine as my christmas present!!! dont know wey i love it, ......just do lol:)

[DawsonWicked]

Got a VTR because its nippy, and was only £1000 and tbh i love me saxo's !

[Psycho18]

always wanted a saxo since i was 13 thought they looked the business. So as soon as i got some money 1st car was a vtr :A:

[Saxo_Scott]

allways liked the look of them and wanted a posi blue one. ended up with a silver one with 17k on the clock:y:

[Jimmy-Boy]

Whey good old positives :) can't wait till i get mine tbh :p

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

cos they are one of the only cars that looks like its already been slightly modded when they are standard, + quick cheap and fun to drive

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

[SamW]

[Jimmy-Boy]

Blue ftw tbh ;)

[Baz]

first one was bought for me, got this one as someone smashed into my old one....

[SamW]

Blue <3

[Mochachino]

ive always liked the stlye of them! before i got it i knew nothing about cars lol but now its all about the engine.

i was torn between a
106 quicksilver
306 XL
corsa C 1.7 tdci
saxo westcoast
106 xsi

out of all of them i got what i thought was the slowest, but its actually quite nippy, and i love the look of it :p

[kc51]

just do love it :D

[Jimmy-Boy]

haha good choice then.

[DawsonWicked]

cos they are one of the only cars that looks like its already been slightly modded when they are standard, + quick cheap and fun to drive

Hit the nail on the head and Maritius Blue FTW !

[jdavies23]

nice looking, good on fuel, and a nice interior for the time, nice simple car with a bit of something about it.

[Jimmy-Boy]

agree.. there again all their shades of blue are sh*t hot :P

[Mochachino]

agree.. there again all their shades of blue are sh*t hot :P

;) .

[jdavies23]

saxo's in black are the best!

[brianS]

first one because it was cheap and gave a years free insurance
second one because the first one wasnt fast enough
3rd one because it was silly cheap and even cheaper to insure

[Jagztorious]

just wanted to be excepted by the 'boy racers'...

[jpsaxo]

Bought it over 4 years ago now, mainly got it because of the colour and the alloys that it had on it at that point in time.

And my bro convinced me it was worth it traveling from Leicester to Reading to get it :D

[brianS]

i might have known your car before you got hold of it then josh

[tobomoto]

i got a years free insurance and no problems with a brand new car. for the first 2 weeks anyway...

[Jimmy-Boy]

haha quality :drink:

[-Jason-]

First car was a vtr as it was cheap then a few others then a vts then an xsi vts conversion and now my chipped gti just love the look of the gti and the way it goes

[DANKZii]

Because it was free:)
Tbh fancied a 106, but not worth buying one if i can have the saxo for nothing.

[Jimmy-Boy]

haha all these free cars.. i want one :(

[jpsaxo]

i might have known your car before you got hold of it then josh

Wasnt in Reading long, approx 3months, a middle aged chap had it. Before that was in Scotland, Glasgow

[Ross-1987]

Never driven or even been in one prior to buying mine, read a shed load of reviews and then decided on it!
i love it because when i over take big 2.0litre cars the look on there face (its only a saxo) is priceless and never gets old!
once you mod it so it roars, you will never get bored!

[Payney]

Cheap to run compared to alot of cars.. Tax/insurance etc isn't too bad on them either.

Fun to drive, good to look at, and girls love them tbh.

Alot of people always moan theres break, alot of people that i know as in mates round my end, none of theres are broke yet, nor have none of mine.

[eoey]

originally flew to manchester to get a 106gti and after some prick stood me up the next day in warrington i went on the net in manchester rail station and fell in love with a black vts in southampton, so i boarded the train the next day and got it that evening.

positives of a saxo,

look great,

very quick for what they are and you can suprise alot biger cars,

cheap to run and parts are dirt cheap,

lengend on back road and track where most other cars you'd be a bit nervous of a corner.

comfortable and nice to drive.

when you get used to the pedals it can shave nearly seconds of lap times imo due to quicker braking and accelerting techniques

[Jazz]

Got the VTS as I wanted something easy on juice, good handling, cheap and able to surprise the big-boys off the lights. It served its purpose well, was very reliable while I had it and I was sad once it was sold... still miss it's cheeky character sometimes.

[Danhunt]

I got mine about a year and a half ago. did over 15k miles in it, and the headgasket went again. It was a Mk1 1.1 though and had 110k miles on the clock so its to be expected.

Then bought the XR3i as a project/restoration. Never got insured on it, but drove it around my uncles huge barn thing. Didnt like it that much, handling was shocking compared to the Saxo.

Next thing on the shopping list is a VTR

[L20VTS]

The silver one i just drove past where it was for sale at the side of the road and it looked like a nice car for a first car.

Then caught the saxo bug and had to go get the top model VTS but it had to be wicked red.

So now we have 2 saxos :)

[furio-james]

Look pretty hot and the cornering never fails to put a smile on my face! cant be beaten for the price tbh

[bullit]

because it was well fast innit. and was cheaper on insurance than a gti and rallye

[AlexR]

My dad persuaded me to buy my vts instead of a golf, and foolishly i listened to him :(

[L33h]

cheap, quick and good looks. thats all thats good about em :)

[L33h]

fool :P

[armyryan1875]

got mine cause my sister "STELLA2345" has 1 aswell, had a vtr before but just seemed like it needed alittle more so went for the vts and i bloody love the thing!!

goes off the clock & cheap to maintain

saxo's = GOOD TIMES!!!

[Spanky]

Bought mine as i needed a car tbh, but when i got there i could tell the lad was "A FOOL" and that i could take him for a ride and get a good price!!

For example...

One of his selling points of the car was " the blue interior neons"

Stuff the perfect condition white vts rims, great head unit etc, just the Interior Neons..

FOOL!!

Plus he didnt keep the V5 just giv me the whole thing lol

Love it now tho and would not see it go !

[Spanky]

OK, thats the second time you have went on about your VTS going off the clock, Big deal, my VTR goes off the clock aswell....

Believe me, going on and on about it is not going to get you anywhere on here

[Karl]

...I bought my old 3 because they were cheap to buy / run / maintain and modify.

think id go back if i sold my clio just for cost!

[craig180]

My first car was a 1 year old vtr and I was offered a year free insurance. Back then the saxo didn't have the bad image it seems to have gained recently and they were a fairly rare sight on the roads.

Since then I've had a succession of different cars, the main ones being an escort RS2000 4x4 and a VX220, but none felt quite the same as a saxo so I bought my current VTS

Love it because it's quick, cheap and reliable

Rock on

I suppose i can understand some cars not feeling like the saxo, as yes they are amazing to drive really, great handling, nippy ont he B roads etc etc

But how could you go from a VX220 back to a saxo!! I dont possible think i could ever do it lol

[Clouds_mate]

i bought my first saxo because i liked the look of it.

In 8 months i found SSC, learnt a few bit about saxos and wanted something newer and quicker so i bought a year old VTR.

It goes tomorrow, going to miss it, dont really want to sell as i cant find another car i like more then my saxo.

[kcsaxo]

2 years free insurance, needed something new and reliable at the time so was happy. then 6 months later i was anally r@ped as car prices had to be dropped to get in line with european car prices so the two years insurance didnt really do much to my savings.

[The_Notorious_C_A_T]

cheap to insure, cheap to run, parts are inter changable with my ax's and the long gearbox of the vtr makes my vtr a good work car.

And getting the vtr means I can keep the ax off hte road until it's how I want it.

[mikevtr]

bought mine because it was cheap for the year of the car when i first drove it i loved it it exites me when i drive it and keeps me on my toes and i love pissing off focuses and bigger and shiter handling cars all this for a little 1.6 soon to be vts converted let the games begin plus they are so simple to work on bit of a twat sometimes

[stu-n-shell]

got ours for free starting modding and realised how much availabilty for parts there was and how fun they were so bought another but it was a shitters so sold it and concentrated on the first one and now its a peach not leaving the saxo clan for a while

[rushy_23]

I got mine with dreams of becoming a superchav. Then found saxp and realised I was
beaten to it :p

[L33h]

OK, thats the second time you have went on about your VTS going off the clock, Big deal, my VTR goes off the clock aswell....

Believe me, going on and on about it is not going to get you anywhere on here

even my 1.1 goes off the clock down a hill haha

[pjsaunders06]

I brought my vts because my mate had a vtr lol i never liked saxos at all until i saw his vtr. Looked so nice so i brought one :y: over time i began to love the car, but then after a year of owning jap was the only way to go :y:

[endlesstimes]

I bought my saxo VTR as i liked the look of them and id read many positive reviews on performance and handling and had seen pics of peoples on here with a few mods and really liked them so i bought one! I love it!

[ryhornvtr]

An older mate of mine had a modded 106gti when i was younger, i loved it. When i was at college a mate had a vtr, let me have a drive in it and i fell in love straigh away, got a vtr soon after. Had that over 2 years then got a mk2 vts. Its being a cunt to me atm, needs a new steering rack but i love it, handles well and surprises my mates that think 'its only a saxo', plus mines the only vts round my way.

[pjm300]

cos i wanted to spend all my savings making it louder

[97vtr]

i wanted a car faster than my mates and they are easy to modify :D love it when it works properly, at the mo its bein a tit

[badasssaxo]

i used to drive a rover 216 16v coupe slightly modded and i loved it and it was blue like my saxo, anyway i started seeing quite a few saxos around modded right up and decided it was time for a change something i can really modify as the coupe was a bit limited, i saw my saxo on auto trader website and fell in love, its a phase2 but with phase1 spoiler and blue dials and the body is imaculate except for one small scratch near petrol cap, i have of course made a few changes since i bought it but it drives great not had any major probs, most cars have thier problems and i bet theres a website for all of them so dont get disheartened by the negative stuff, i love my saxo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emma_ZS]

I bought my saxo because I love the curves on it and the small but chuncky look to it. Also you can do many cheap mods to them :)

[collinsd70]

just lookd soooo nice

cost me a bit but well worth it, wudnt trade it for the world

:y:

[shooorn94]

Bought the first one as it was cheaper than the 106 I came to view and was in much better condition, plus it looked amazing in white.

After writing the above car off, I was after a larger car/safer but test drove another saxo and fell in love again, it handles well, and looks fantastic... there is so much potential in them too :y:

[AlexB]

i got mine cause i wanted a nice 1.6 hatchback
and the maritius blue made it catch my eye

and i bort the 1.1 as it was cheap ish and i had some spare bits i could whack on it

[Carmi]

I had a MK1 VTS, I had such fun driving mine and it was cheap and quick and fit almost anywhere!
It got written off unfortuately so bought a Clio... I missed the fun and within 4 months had a MK 2 VTS.. Been happy ever since!

[Pat_Vts]

wanted 16v power...

[Mr_X]

what all this ' had it off the clocks'. never have i trusted a car less than a saxo at high speed, plus the speedo goes upto like 145.

oh, and the reason i bought the vts is because it was cheap, fast enough, fun and it has such a great character.

[Jimmy-Boy]

Saxo's ftw tbh then :)

[bullit]

i wanted to be part of the saxo community and make lots of friends as i dont have many

good shout :y:

[Jake_P]

bought my vtr coz there such great fun to drive ! love mine!

[Scattle]

Given to me for my 17th lol.

[spray-guy]

so why did you buy your saxo?
thought it would be a good 1st car for meself
why do you like it?
cause it has 3 doors and i can nuts moddin it

[Zebeddy]

Like the looks love to drive them :)

[pjm300]

it makes me laugh people thinking their car does 145.

considering the limiter on a vts is 142, and you're never gonna reach the limiter with the aerodynamic properties of a brick wall, it aint gonna happen

:D

[Predator_R32]

always wanted one since they came out and i started reading max poor lol, thats going back a bit now

[spawny]

i got mine after owning 2 eg civics i wanted a change, chose a vtr for fairly low insurance its a lot more fun to drive then the civics and so far i love it :)

[Spanky]

Oh, and whoever neg rep'd me thanks for your comment i shall have ago at who ever i want, its called freedom of speech thank you very much :A: :A:

And i only speak the truth when i say blabbin on bout your car going off the clock is going to get you no where on here, cos frankly, no one gives a flying F**K

Good day to you :y:

[fisherposh]

Was local, good price and i needed a new car! Looks really good too

[Jimmy-Boy]

If you want jim i will buy you a saxo and give you my hard earnt 10k to put towards mods and insurance ust to show how much i love you :)

Good shout :y:
