ive been testing cars recently with the idea of changing in the next couple of months, so far have tried a clio 172 and a c2 vtr and vts, none of which really did anything for me!
went out today and tried out a standard saxo vts, it was a bit of a wreck but regardless of that i fucking loved it! ive been driving my lowered saxo for so long it was nice to drive a comfortable reasonably quiet one!
anyway the guy at the garage said to go onto the motorway so i could give it some stick! before i know it im at 7k and grinning like a madman!

so now my mind is made up 110% on my next car, and im sad because my vtr feels rubbish in comparison :(

unlucky! when my vtr started feeling slow i got a vts.. its a massive jump.

the revving did make me smile alot :)

When i was looking at cars, my dad said never compare cars. But when it was a 1.1 Saxo vs 1.4 Polo CL i thought the 1.1 was alot nippier and responsive.

have considered lots of cars, nothing fits the bill like a saxo!

lol i have driven a VTS and although its faster, i just prefare my VTR, i know you will all struggle ot see my logic but owell lol

Yeah VTRs are naff in comparison lol...

I had a VTR before my VTS and the worst thing I did was test drive a VTS made me realize just how much slower a VTR is/feels, and how much more exciting/faster a VTS is.

there is no logic in that what so ever, unless you prefer it for economy reasons.

probably bias ?

LeeM

16th March 2009, 20:24

bollocks to economy, i went to test the vts in my mates modified gti-6 and that thing really flies! but we managed 130 miles on half a tank!

the extra 20 horsepower really make that much differance??

16th March 2009, 20:31

Can't fucking wait until now saturday now!!!! :fcuk: So excited now!!! :panic:

Karl

16th March 2009, 20:34

the extra 20 horsepower really make that much differance??

other factors like a much better gearbox is another factor which is why its quicker ;)

Karl

16th March 2009, 20:35

;)

hardly biased,
had a VTR once before,
VTS is about the same to run (fuel) just insurance is the factor for alot of people.

why you would prefer a lesser car makes no sense.

JamesR

16th March 2009, 20:36

bollox to economy, insurance, tax etc nothing like that effects me. I just prefare my VTR, i have absolutely so clue why, its probably just madness. lmao

Karl

16th March 2009, 20:36

bollow to economy insurance tax nothing like that effects me. I just prefare my VTR, i have absolutely so clue why, its probably just madness.

Yep, thats madness.

That is mad!!!:fcuk:

JamesR

Yep, thats madness.

Whats even more mad is when i bought my VTR at auction i was actually looking at a impreza turbo.

MY VTR IS CURSED LOL

LeeM

16th March 2009, 20:40

the extra 20 horsepower really make that much differance??

yeah it feels like more! has more power from the moment you touch the accelrator and it keeps going strong right the way through!

Mr_P

16th March 2009, 20:43

yeah it feels like more! has more power from the moment you touch the accelrator and it keeps going strong right the way through!

:fcuk: And i'm going from a 1.1 :A:

LeeM

16th March 2009, 20:53

thats gonna be mental! the difference between 1.1 and vtr is a lot, so 1.1 and vts should be crazy judging by the difference between vtr and vts lol

Mr_P

16th March 2009, 21:00

You're getting me all excited now :p

Mr_X

16th March 2009, 21:03

i would recommend anyone to jump from a vtr to a vts. even more fun imo, and obv a lot quicker, but its a better base to start from modifying wise. Cams and you looking at 150-160bhp.

LeeM

16th March 2009, 21:04

ive decided on the exact parts im buying for it already lol!

Mr_X

16th March 2009, 21:27

ive decided on the exact parts im buying for it already lol!

wont regret it.

Although i went to look at about 15 vts before i got mine, a shit load of dogs out there!

LeeM

16th March 2009, 21:48

yeah the one i saw was a proper rough one, drivers seat wobbled on its subframe for a start lol

LeeM

16th March 2009, 22:11

just got quotes for my vtr renewal and for a vts, £700 for vtr or £800 for a vts. tough choice...

VTR is awful in comparison to the S

dont miss my vtr one bit

Ashleyp

16th March 2009, 22:15

:fcuk: And i'm going from a 1.1 :A:

i can remember when i first test drove a vts for a laugh. shame i brought it the same day

im saving up for a 182 to buy next year.. but im not gonna test drive one til then cause il just get a loan and buy it ><

test drive it honest didnt do anything for me was well dissapointed tbh..

going from a 1.1 to a vts is quite alot seems alot of people jump to vt's and more and more is getting binned :n:

i love my vts not drove many cars with such a fun factor :p

People talk about the VTS as if it was a super car. I've test drove a few and wasn't impressed at all even though my daily run about is slower.

its a fun car theres no denying

its quite quick off the mark too

i kinda seen the light though, my golf would keep with the vts to 60 and then rape it from there onwards..

doesnt handle tho :homme:

Went out in a vtr last night. First time in ages. They are pretty slow in comparison to the 1.6 16v.

It doesnt shout at me like it once did as a "Quick car",

my friend has a Metro that outpaces Focus ST's and that doesnt seem that quick any longer..

I stupidly drove Yates' VTS around Nurburgring and sadly I couldn't shake off the 'I must get Saxo Vts' bug.

so i bought one.

A VTR just says "I tried to get a fast hatchback, but i failed, so i bought a VTR"

VTS all the way!

Cal

17th March 2009, 17:14

Cams and you looking at 150-160bhp.Think that's very optimistic personally!

16v's are great fun... used to own one... but would never go back.

adam19

17th March 2009, 18:16

16v all the way - such a lil nippy car :D never go back to a 8v :O

Is that why you bought a 2 tone?

Barry123

17th March 2009, 23:05

it was either a two tone MkII or a grey MkI

I don't like MkI's...

i cant really compare my vts to a vtr as ive never been in one :O but ive had 4 other 1.6's and compared to the vts they were sh*t (i just never knew at the time) :panic:
