Vts or Gti

[Jase125]

Starting saving for either, what would you have? any info etc will be great, i think id like a gti, insurance isint to bad either for them...

[Cal]

The GTi is the better looking car.

[Jase125]

i think that to

[johnlambert]

GTi leather seats..
better build imo...

[Morgzc]

Better build? It's the same car with a few different panels.
I prefer the look af a vts, just put some leathers in it.

[johnr32]

gti because its got a so much better interior :y:

[VTomR]

Depends what you prefer the look of really, as there basically the same car in ever way except looks. i personally would have the gti as it has a less chavvy reputation and has the leathers.

[haz_pro]

VTS is cheaper, and looks better IMO.

How ever the GTI would be nice if it had the leathers.

[Meto]

They do?

[Bickerton]

They do?

They don't



GTI is cheaper to insure, could be a big difference depending upon your age

GTi do have leathers, only the early ones have either gold or red cloth surely??

[Bickerton]

Indeed

[Meto]

Anyway, GTI for me personally, just seem a bit more exclusive. Hopefully my next car when the insurance stop shafting me.

[haz_pro]

They do?

Yeah not all of them came with them though. :y:

[Mr_X]

been done to death.

it depends on which one you prefer the styling.

who ever buys one because they think its less chavv/more exclusive are douches.

[citroen_saxo_vtr]

cant remember what site it was but its car performance and stats but the vts is slightly quicker 0-60 than the gti, its due to the weight but its not alot to worry about lol.

[dannyboy2005]

I like the Nana GTI with black wheels + red badges,

Smart as fock

VTS had half a tank of fuel on the test runs, compared to the GTI, which had a full tank (To keep insurance down, making it heaver so 0-60 times were slightly less)

and that would be me :homme:

Hmm, nana gti with black wheels...

Any more info to narrow it down from every other nana that hasn't got standard wheels ;)

[CraigLovelock]

I prefer the look of saxo's to the 106's.

Down to preference...

But a decent GTI will set you back 1k+ more than a decent VTS imo.

[Phils_VTR]

Personally id have either depending what was available at the time. Gti usually costs more to buy and i think id rather a vts anyway so its best of both worlds lol. But Gti insurance is a group lower but that isnt life changing, basically the same.

[dannyboy2005]

Ermmm.... With a nice sounding exhaust system?

Seriously, NANA's are nice, along with the Cheery Red ones too.

[5charlie46]

as they are both basically the same... i would look at both and go on the condition of the cars that are for sale in your area :)

de wiper both and youll understand!! GTi has metal clips and the saxo has plastic...

[Morgzc]

I have, still don't know what you're on about though?

[Bound]

gti because its got a so much better interior :y:

GTi leather seats..

LOL. - Same car.

Actually.. why are you even asking this question... It's the same car, choose which one you like the look of best. It's one insurance group less but a bit more expensive to buy...

Yes, the leathers are better.

But the dash?!?!?!

That looks like the biggest pile of shit I've ever seen, the dash in a 106 is fucking horrible.

Plus you get cup holders
MOTHERF**KING CUP HOLDERS YO!

[sparky771]

Id prefer the GTI tbh but i would take ither

In my personal opinion i think the GTIs are better looking, more exclusive and if they are in the right colour (Black, blue or red) they look awsome!!

[Stissy]

GTi everytime :y:

you see old people driving round in vts' because they're just that sort of car
if you see someone in a 106 GTi you know they're into their cars ;)

[MiniGibbo]

Get a vtr it has more tourqe than both there for would be faster.

[K17NEY]

Get a vtr it has more tourqe than both there for would be faster.

I hope your joking.

I prefer the VTS obviously.Gti has nice interior but the dash looks like its made out of lego.

[Jase125]

minigibo- i hope you are joking to lol i have a vtr... gti i think its going to be cheaper on insurance for me

Call me a freak but I love the angular dash in the 106. The dash in the saxo just looks like every cheap small cars dash :oops:

Edit-Im fully aware my car is also a cheap small car lol

the dash in the gti is what lets in down imo, it looks too dated, to early 90's.

also prefer the rear of the vts.

/keyboards to the ready

Tbf if we all had the same opinion, the world would be a very dull place.

[Morgzc]

Tbf if we all had the same opinion, the world would be a very dull place.

Or maybe everyone would be driving an enzo. That doesn't sound too boring.

Employ me and I'll make sure everyone has the same opinion.

[johnlambert]

its nicer than the saxo dash...

[daz_zz_er]

GTI :)

How are those stats right? E.g. How is the 0-60 so much quicker in the Spaxo? VTR gearbox?!?! - (THAT TOTALLY DOES 60 IN SECOND in the GTI? :P).

[04gallsopp]

whicheva one you see first , whicheva is the cheapest when you compare two , there identical

hahaha

[Matt.S2]

VTS with GTI leathers = WIN! for me thats the best of both! :y:

[joe333]

vts are nice but then agin i like gti alot

[Dave-B]

I prefer the rear of the gti and the front of a mk2
;o

[LSOfreak]

used to prefer saxos, now i think the gti. except i agree the dash is the only let down. looks so wank and dated. saxo dash looks much newer

[JRC1]

I prefer the less chavy, less popular, more sophisticated image of the GTi. However, the 106 is too pointy compared to the Saxo imo it makes it look more dated, especially compared to the MK2. I'd still own a GTi though ;). The 106 does have better parts, leathers, the mirrors (imo) etc etc. So buy a VTS and add GTi parts to it ;)

[Bound]

Exactly, looks dated. As does the MK1 saxo. MK2's curves keep it reasonably fresh.

[MiniGibbo]

Mk2 saxos are for girls. Mk1 vts with the ealier type slatty grill ftw.

[jw1325]

ur saxos ' curves ' make it look like a fisher price bubble car.

GTi ftw! looks mean, and with the right mods the little second edge that the saxo has can be wiped out.

black one, black wheels, black morrettes, MR lights. and you have a beautiful car that means business :P

[Raz]

VTS...GTi Dashboard looks shit in comparison...looks dated.

GTi Leathers in a VTS...WIN

[jw1325]

i dont see the big deal with the dash!!

its really all about whether you want your car to impress you, or impress others.

[savo]

Would prefer a GTI but a VTS with leathers would do just fine. Dont care bout the dashboard, as long as i'm comfortable...thats what matters to me.

[0rang3peel]

Oh this is a thread I havn't seen before
