vts is most realistic. the other 2.0l would make a saxo very front heavy giving poor handling.

you may aswell just buy a vtr/s because the insurance will punish you for modifying a 1.1 to a 1.6+

but would it be cheaper than insuring a vtr? vtr has all the extras so would be more on insurance?

People still call it a transplant and are aware of what it is.
