new car

[tease1986]

hi ya going to test drive new car have had credit and fiance down all ok its a 55 plate c2 vts what all use think of them are they quick and are they a good car to have if i like it can have it by monday :-) so excited for test drive

[Ryan]

c2. = barge.

[Crunkers]

Good luck mate, a little hard to understand some of what you've put there lol

[tease1986]

basacily im going to test drive c2 vts as may get it tommorow wat use all reckon on them

[Jamie]

They look nice but i dont think they are quick, Theyre nice i just think theres better cars


Depends on what you want from it,


Id get a fezzy ST probably just as much to insure lol

[Graeme]

from what i have heard the c2 vts arnt all that really and there quite slow

[tease1986]

what bhp are they

[Mochachino]

they are very slow! a saxo walkes all over it, and my lil 1.4 can almost keep up with them! they go like a saxo VTR with a few mods like manifold lol!

[Jamie]

same as saxo, iirc but more weight so about as fast as a Sax VT*
Infact im pretty sure i beat one in my old R

[tease1986]

seriously

[Jamie]

Yep, swear they have saxo engines but in a beefy car, all that weight and small engine = slowwwwwwwww coach

[Ryan]

they use an updated engine that was in the saxo.

Slightly different but from the JP- range (TU)

[tease1986]

vts c2 standard is sitting at 125bhp

[Ryan]

and a kerb weight about 400 kg more than a saxo :p

[Jamie]

Mate, if your not looking for speed its a good car ;) lol

[tease1986]

so would u say a vts c2 is slower than a saxo vts

[Mochachino]

so would u say a vts c2 is slower than a saxo vts


definatly, c2's are poodles

[tease1986]

i havea furio at min so obviously its going to be much better tho

[Mochachino]

i havea furio at min so obviously its going to be much better tho

not really mate, like i say my westcoast kept up with one pretty well, i thought i was a vtr c2 untill my mate in front told me it was a vts!

i say kept up, it obv was a tad quicker, but my westcoast didnt let it run away!

[Jamie]

so would u say a vts c2 is slower than a saxo vts

Lmao, if i compare it to a vtr, and a vts would absolutely destroy a r lol what do you think :P


a Modded C2 Vts , exhaust, manifold, induction kit would still be eaten by a std saxo vts..

[Ryan]

to put things into perspective. FCS 06. I started in my vtr infront of several cpoos. I lapped them all. and i wasnt exactly fast in the 8v

[tease1986]

ok so do you think thats why my uns company will insure me on a c2 vts but not a saxo vts

[Ryan]

c2s have higher Ncap, are less easy to steal.

also less have been bent than saxos. so thats why

[Jamie]

^ what Ry said,

Tbh mate, they arent a bad car just quite er slow lol, Id look around more unless thats what your heart is set on tbh

[tease1986]

so would u say not to go for the vts c2

[Ryan]

they are good cars in a sense. just if you expect to be blown away by performance. they are not.

[tease1986]

im not set on tbh just love the look at them but i want summit as quick as a vts saxo and keep ins down a slight bit like my furio its only extra 5er a month for a c2 55 plate vts and thats 40 pound a month fully comp i think its well good

[Jamie]

so would u say not to go for the vts c2

It depends what you want from the car mate, as an all rounder for the price i suppose they arent too bad.

If your expecting some sort of slaying machine you need to look elsewhere ;)

[tease1986]

hmmm yeah im looking for summit what has power like but a small car and new ish car wats smart and cheep on insurance like c2

[Jamie]

Id just go for a saxo VTS lol or 106 gti

[tease1986]

ins company will not touch me on it m8 i work for ins company and saxo vts or 106 gti no go however c2 vtr, vts no problam

[tease1986]

any one got any ideas on car i can look at not a saxo vts or gti 106 tho

[NeV_M3]

How old are you m8?

[Graeme]

fiesta st then?

mine cost the same as my old vtr to insure and is quicker

[tease1986]

hmmmmmm im 21 however i work for ins company so get like mega discount i pay like 350 pound for a c2 vts with no yrs ncb like so as long as they insure a car im fine they just dont touch gti a saxo vts

[tease1986]

How About The C2 Gt Or Is It Slower Than The Vts

[NeV_M3]

do you work for esure? i know they dont like "sporty" car (well they didn't when i got my VTR, they wouldn't even insure my mum on a 206 Gti) i'd say a C2 VTS is a nice car, plus you can get a good deal on the insurance :y:
you'll find it quicker than your furio (obviously) but i think you'll soon get used to it's slight performance increase.

I'd say save and get a clio 172/182 but you probably wont get insured by your company... :(

[DawsonWicked]

I walked all over a C2 GT today, i left it for dust tbh ! My VTR keeps well upto the C2 VTS aswell they realy dont pull away from me, they arnt as quick as your thinking, Id rather go out n buy a fast Clio 172 or 182.

[NeV_M3]

How About The C2 Gt Or Is It Slower Than The Vts

110 Bhp
0 - 62 ... ... .... ....... (wait for it .... its coming) .... 9.2secs

Ye slower than the vts

Edit - I'm with Dawson :y:

125bhp A C2 Vts Mate And 0 - 60 In 8.3

[tease1986]

And No I Dont Work For Esure

[NeV_M3]

i just lol'ed at myself... i asked your age and just realized your user name "1986" should of noticed that after doing your sig... :wacko:

My advise is... test drive the C2 VTS, see what you think... if you like :y: go for it mate.

[DawsonWicked]

125bhp A C2 Vts Mate And 0 - 60 In 8.3

are you saying im lieing lol, my saxo has the simple mods done to it, ie full exaust system and de-cat, induction kit, a b&m short shifter and also a decent driver, trust me mate them C2 VTS'S arnt all they are cracked up to be.

[tease1986]

im going to test drive it top gear review 125 bhp i think some limes its alot of jelousie like on this forum my saxo will be up for sale like furio 39 on clocl 02 plate

[DawsonWicked]

wtf, i aint gelous of you at all lol, im just putting in my opinion and tbh a C2 would be the last car i buy if i was in you position, get a Clio it makes sence.

[Pat_Vts]

... get a decent saxo VTS for that money and insure it aswell tbh

your sorted and your not in a slow car;)

[tease1986]

yeah get a saxo vts and insurance all on finance think about it will ya im also looking at the golf r32 as well like

[Mochachino]

mix of cars here mate, either a c2 vts or a R32 golf :S il be hours trying to decide.

[sax_o_milley]

what a dreamer dream on

[Karl]

A said 8.3 seconds,

thats inbetween Saxo VTR and VTS speeds.

[matt_vtr_15]

c2 vts's as stated are nice cars but not fast... a lad off here with a cammed vtr (not mapped) beat one the other day....

They are just heavy cars... why not look at something like a golf gti? golf gt tdi???

If you want a bit more speed id go for one of them and a simple remap and couple of mods you can have a lot more power....specially torque out of a vw than a c2 vts....

if your after something newish as well why not try something like the 1.4 t-jet punto??

1.4 turbo, pretty nippy and low insurance???

Or just wait it out until you can insure something worth going on finance for if you want performance???

[Karl]

C2 VTS are bloody good cars for what they are,

Insurance group 8 (Low and cheap)

Relatively nippy!

Just not that nice in looks.

[sammysaxo1000]

sorry to say but i hate c2s citreon should have made another saxo insteed!

[titchster]

lol, just cause its got more power than a VTS dont mean its gonna be quicker mate, its got 5bhp more, and weighs about 400kg more, gotta take the weight into account, its nowt to do with jealousy.

[DawsonWicked]

yeah get a saxo vts and insurance all on finance think about it will ya im also looking at the golf r32 as well like

if you have the option of a R32 Golf, wtf are you doing even concidering a C2 are you mad lol !
