best 1.1

[joscelin]

im asking for a freind who is keen on buying a saxo 1.1 but what he wants to know is the differant types (forte,desire etc) and the differances between them ? if you could please explain that would be great :P

[Toms112]

Go for a colour coded one =] they look mucho better in my opinion. I think and this is only a think the desires are the colour coded ones but I am more then likely wrong.

[Pieface]

desire's have more comforts, forte's are completely and utterly basic.

Fortes DON'T have power steering, whereas I believe Desire's do.


I had a forte as my first car though, loved it.

[daz_zz_er]

lol i have a forte didnt realise they were the basic ones haha

[Sandy869]

I have a forte, it is basic admittedly but its great fun. Mine has colour coded bumpers, but is a mk2 so i dont know if that makes any difference. I love it lol so highly recommended, especially if hes young and insurance is sk high like mine lol

Yours was colour coded? Mine wasn't.

No it isn't the bumpers that's colour coded, it's the side strips.

Only 1.0' have black bumpers.

[-GG-]

Desire's are colour coded ! :y: They're still shit though, get a furio/vtr instead :D

yay I was right =]

Go for desire, for comfort and good extras in that case then

i've got a desire, therefore i'm allowed to say they're crap :P
please care to explain ? :hug:

[TomBob]

Yepp go for a desire if you can. Colour coding, power steering, remote central locking, all good :)

[Sandy869]

Yours was colour coded? Mine wasn't.

No it isn't the bumpers that's colour coded, it's the side strips.

Only 1.0' have black bumpers.

ooo in that case i may be wrong, the bumpers are colour coded but the side strips arent, my mistake, thought you meant the bumpers lol

Because he may not be able to get one due to Insurance costs.

Because he may not be able to get one due to Insurance costs.

but, maybe so...hasn't been stated :ponder:
it cost me the same to insure my desire as my neighbour and his furio! :wacko:

[daz_zz_er]

my forte is kinda colour coded bumpers, i mean the whole bumper isnt green theres just a bit thats black and the side strips are black

[chimpy_vts]

[CaptainYid]

[Mcinabout]

ive got a forte love it:y: But i have done a fair bit to it(interior and exterior) as the interior is hidous(Multi coloured)which is ther worst part oh and it doesnt have power steering but apart from that its ace.But imo, its upto you:y: if you look after the car itll look after you:y:

[daz_zz_er]

ive got a forte love it:y: But i have done alot to it as the interior is hidous(Multi coloured)which is ther worst part oh nd it doesnt have power sterring but apart from that its ace, so if your going to do a bit to it and make it your,you can make them look good imo aswell as any other car:y:

lol i hate the multicoloured stuff haha especially the seatbelts, i only like the blue seatbelt on mine haha

[Mcinabout]

lol i hate the multicoloured stuff haha especially the seatbelts, i only like the blue seatbelt on mine haha

Ive only got the muti coloured seatbelts and doorcards now to get rid off then interior is near enough how i want it:y:

[JamesR]

Go for a Desire.

[redlinerdj]

ive got the 1.1SX has sunroof, elec windows, power steering and central locking.... it is a 5dr mk 2 though... some people prefer 3drs.

[Tommo87]

Personally I didn't realise there was a good 1.1.

[tuft]

I had a desire, was a good little car. had power steering, electric windows, remote central locking, sunroof, was colour coded.

[-Frisby-]

I'm looking at buying one soon aswell. I have my eyes on a gold 1.1 desire. Didn't like it at all at 1st but it has really taken my fancy (don't ask why) :L

[-Frisby-]

1st car, cheap, doesn't look half bad :L

[Dave-B]

Ive got a 1.1 forte, i drove a 1.2 fiesta with 25k on the clock for a few months and my saxo with 75k seems to be a lot quicker :)

[tuft]

desires group 4 isn't it? that a bit high for a 1.1?

[-Frisby-]

Not when you dont have to pay for it :P

[Sandy869]

My forte doesn't have multi coloured seatbelts? There all blue? Does this mean they've been changed at some point lol?

[iSlayeR]

I have a 1.1 SX mk1, only thing i don't like is no powerstearing :n: does feel like i'm driving a go-kart though :fcuk:

[girlracer317]

my forte has blue seat belts, carpet and dials, was told its limited edition, yet they couldnt put in powersteering lol!

[Pieface]

desires group 4 isn't it? that a bit high for a 1.1?

All 1.0's are Group 3
1.1's Group 4
1.4's Group 5
VTR Group 7
VTS Group 14

[Ashleyp]

my 1.1 106 was group3

groups dont mean everything though. so many factors come into play with insurance
