[one_nation04]

not sure if this is the right thread but... am selling my vtr to get either a gti or vts...i just want some opinions on which to get as im confused and keep changin my mind!! cheers

[stinkycheese]

depends, if your just going to strip it out like your vtr then just get an S. if you want something a little better inside, then get the Gtaiiiii

na wont be stripping, just want a fairly mint one with lowish mileage that i can do some subtle mods too and aim at getting about 140bhp from

[stinkycheese]

the gti's are a more expensive but if i had the extra cash id prefer one over an S.
how much is your car going for?

[one_nation04]

im selling mine for 1600 but taking my buckets and supersprint off

[saxoboy91]

i'd go for the gti mate, there starting to really grow on me. seen one today, was grey and looked immaculate, looked completely standard too apart from bein on its arse :P

[stinkycheese]

[one_nation04]

i dont mind a bit of a drive for a nice one mate, just cant seem to find one with decent mileage

Id just keep an eye out on auto trader or pm a few gti owners on 106owners and see if there willing to sell up:y:

[Sammy-Boy]

GTI's hold there value better, and tbh I prefer them

[V5J]

i wouldnt consider a gti to be honest!

the car doesnt justify the price difference over a vts..

its the same car ! with leather seats obv, that can be purchased easily!

[Cal]

GTi's are faster as they have leather

[Sammy-Boy]

GTi's are faster as they have leather

And 16 v badges :P

[Cal]

And 16 v badges :PCan't recall any Gti's having 16v badges tbh :P

PS, yellow ones are faster too

[Sammy-Boy]

Fair enough I got that idea from Saxo's;)

[ocktovts]

i prefer the GTi tbh

[SaxGyalVTS]

VTS ftw :]

[saxo_bigbass]

[JRC1]

[Sammy-Boy]

Jesus thats nice !!, I personally think they look mint

[Andybhoy]

Vts with Gti interior FTW!Gti's are minted but far too over priced.im actually startin to think that the vts's are rarer than the gti's now especially where i stay.never seem to see any now.

[Mieran]

Apparently the GTI handles better too cos its got a 24mm rear arb?

[one_nation04]

yea think i woud prefer a gti...how does this sound tho, been offered a posi mk2 VTS, 60k (higher than i was hoping but looks mint) standard, fsh, £2000? sounds good to me

[PSPDan]

Sounds good mate. Although if money wasn't a problem for me I'd personally take a GTi..

Year...?

[one_nation04]

Year...?

its a 2001

all i am planning , whether it be a gti or S, GTi leathers, S rims refurbed and sprayed, lowered, then focus on getting it up to about 150bhp with cam, exhaust, unduction etc

[one_nation04]

Sounds good mate. Although if money wasn't a problem for me I'd personally take a GTi..

yea i know mate but i kindof have a budget of around £2500, can maybe go slightly higher if i found one i reeaallly wanted

[NickH1987]

here is an unargueable (is that a word) point.

Standard VTS IS quicker than a GTI, by quite a bit.

It just is before people say yes or no... i have had pulls against gti's and they are just not as quick

[joshg_7]

Considerin its a saxo site...most people gonna say saxo arent they

[NickH1987]

GTi looks better though... imo (and i own a VTS lol)

[Ashleyp]

vts, just a cheaper gti without leather

more easy to find with low miles in good condition, all the good condition gti's cost well over 3k

GTI is slower on paper, they are both identical a part from exterior/interior.

The GTI that "lost" to you could've been dead, shit driver or some other reason.

I just had to ask myself the same question a few months ago when i wanted to get rid of my quiksilver. i had owned a saxo vtr previously, and at the time had the 106 quiksilver but could afford something a bit newer/faster. So it was either a 106 gti or a saxo vts :S.

Now i like the look of the 106 alot just as much as the saxo...but the 106 has the half leather...but the saxo has the better dash i here you say lol.

Styling/interior comes down to your opinion.

Performance wise there's nothing in it, same engine, gear box etc.

Tax is the same, however insurance for me was more expensive on the saxo (its a group higher than the gti)

i had £2500-£3000 to spend an i wanted a very good STANDARD example, something i didnt have to spend money on putting right straight away ie 2001 onwards with around 45k-55k on the clock, clean body work, fit engine etc etc but for this money i couldnt find a 106 gti, it seemed like you had to spend £3200-£4000 for this condition 106 gti where as a saxo vts can be had for alot less money in comparison so i plummed for the saxo instead....needless to say i havent looked back since.

yea i do prefer the saxo dash, looks alot more modern imo, but i think im swaying towards the look of the gti, even though i think the saxo looks stronger and more aggresive with the rounder arches... so u really rate the S?

yea lol i saw this on there, if i coud chose a colour it would be that yellow but there so hard to find with low mileage. Also, i want the leathers in the next car, rather than the stripped and buckets, cage etc

Yep its really good mate, get one you wont look back trust me. Dont get me wrong if money was no object at the time i would have bought a gti, but to me it didnt warrent the extra 1.5K i would have had to spend to get the same condition gti as my vts. Vts all the way :y:

[JRC1]

Yeah, if I were to buy a GTi it would be Sundance Yellow all the way..

Or White ;)

[kclipston]

VTS, for the price they have everything, and there good looking.... GTI's have a lil more but too overpriced and not as nice looking as the vts (too box'y) so my view is VTS FTW
