who has stayed with a saxo...again and again?

[Tontsy]

who has only owned a saxo, or has gone back to a saxo?

i have a 1,1 and have been looking into cars such as the astra VXR for my next car, but something keeps telling me to get a nice 'S'

now, ive never had a single problem with my saxo *unless i caused it myself* its a good solid runner / sweet as a nut! but its nothing special, and yet i still want to keep the same kinda thing, with a bit more umph. even though the voice in my head says "its a saxo...is it worth it"


so how come, you guys stayed with a saxo, what made the decision for you?
and what have you owned, as ive seen numerous members go from saxo to saxo! what made you think, vts over anything else?!

a nice clean, tidy, smooth running S, would i be pleased?!
as my current saxo, suits all my needs, its big enough for me and just about the Mrs. and people in the back if i had to! got a decent sized boot, its a small car, any problems everything is easily sourced.
or a clio 17/82
(reason being, i do luff J222 vts and was soo tempted when he was thinking about selling it!)

[craig180]

Always had a saxo (apart from a brief break when I had an RS2000 4x4) since 1999

[nicole_]

ive had two saxos and a 106,
and then my honda
i was more than happy to go back to a saxo after my honda, i missed them lots as it felt like trying to steer a barge round roundabouts compared to the saxo
not much appeals to me over a saxo for some reason

[moxy89]

Mate dont get another saxo again honestly its sooo boring. I went from a 1.1 to my vts and for the first 6month, fucking loved the power now its just boring. save up get a totally different car mate. Just annoying sitting in the same cockpit. New car ftw, dont get another saxo

[04gallsopp]

I loved my saxo , just insurance forced me to get a mini

[chinkostu]

went from a 1.1 to a vtr. next step is definately a vts, then when i tire of that i can move onto the big arse barges of cars ;)

thats the thing, i drive different cars, day in day out, so i have loads of cars on the list of potential next car, i took a new scirocco for a spin today, and i loved it! but then i had fun driving the saxo home again.

[Mieran]

Whenever I've bought a Saxo it was for sale as soon as I received the logbook.

If I do get another might be A 1.1 or 1.0 just for a run about

[Yates]

ive drove loads of other cars at work, but for a bit of fun saxo does the job, i hardly ever use my car so at the moment i just think whats the point in getting something that i will never use

plus i dont really care what others think hence why ive still got one, but il sell you mine for a nice price tonto ;)

[mtpagey]

Had 5 now, one vtr and four vts's. Certainly bought my last now even though they can cover any type of driving you're after whether its a daily drive, commuter, track or show car.

Its your money and theres certainlt safer options out there but if tis modifying you're after then you wont get many more options than for a saxo/vts

[Heliosphan]

My attitude at the moment is never to buy the same model.

I want to look back over a long and varied car history - good, bad, whatever.

Life's too short to buy the same car, imo.

[Ciarannn]

always been very comfortable in my saxo.
i dont like being in a car where you cant hear squeeks,knocks and road noise.

[SAM-S44MDS-]

Saxos are nippy if you get a R/S, and have alot of potential to alter & play about with. You can have alot of fun in 1, bits are easy & cheap to come by & they arent hard to fix. Just a cheap fun run about.

Why spend £15k+ on a car? Saxo will get from a-b and probably be more fun :p

i have just been looking at your for sale thread!
ive never seen a two tone S! and have an epic soft spot for the 2tone!

[Morgzc]

1 106 and 3 saxos. I have slowly been downgrading so my next car will be a 1.1 by the looks of things lol!

[Mieran]

vxr ftw

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2370771.htm

or smaller vx with z/clet

i think thats what i like most, the fact they are FUN! all the time, even if its just sitting at 70mph on the motorway, with the choones on low! its a fun car imo.

[Mochachino]

Always had a saxo.

First car was a Saxo westcoast

After that the VTR I still have

Once ive sold the 307 I think il buy a mk2 VTR as a daily drive.

Always kept with a saxo because theyre easy to work on, cheap to fix and easy to get hold of parts. If anything goes wrong theyre that simple you can diognose it at the side of the road. theyre fun to drive and imo the last of the mechanical era before the modern clumbersom cars came in and took away all the driving experience which makes the saxo so nimble and fun.

[J222JRA]

Lol Thanks Tonto.

[Yates]

well the box is probably getting sold from it so the price is there 3500 if your interested sure we could sort something

[Tontsy]

well the box is probably getting sold from it so the price is there 3500 if your interested sure we could sort something

would be a standard S box fitted then?
and updates of bodies and cams in your thread? ill go have a lookskies now :A:

Wouldnt be the same without the road noise, rattles and knocks though :p They are really fun though, what makes them :A: I must admit I do still enjoy driving mine, and will probably buy another as my next one too :y:

[Nik_L]

Had 1 Saxo and would never drive another if it was given to me.

Seriously,you cant really compare a Saxo to an Astra VXR.

[Tontsy]

Lol Thanks Tonto.

you and chip have swayed me towards two cars, i never thought id get!!!

[Tontsy]

Had 1 Saxo and would never drive another if it was given to me.

Seriously,you cant really compare a Saxo to an Astra VXR.

i can, as they both put a smile on my face, in two different ways.

the astra, has stupid torque steer, and acts like an epileptic whore having a fit if you hit boost mid corner!
the saxo... well, if it didnt put a smile on your face, you wouldnt own one :P

im not bothered about it being super fast, as most people on here know i have an R6, so i get my speed and power thrills from there, i want a Fun car, the ammount of go it is, is neither here or there tbh.

[SAM-S44MDS-]

Tonto, as you just said you get your power thrill from the R6. So why spend daft money on a VXR, when you can spend 2-3k and have a bodies S, which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face EVERY time you drive it ;) and put the rest of the money to a new shape R1? :P or a house saving if you aint got 1 lol

[Mieran]

Astra VXRs aren't that fast tbh but overall a good car

I still remember the time when I whooped one in my Nova, he wasn't happy haha

[Yates]

and updates of bodies and cams in your thread? ill go have a lookskies now :A:

search for ultimate saxo in gallery should come up ;)

havent really got an update on bodies or cams when they were done

[chinkostu]

I still remember the time when I whooped one in my Nova, he wasn't happy haha

one of these fast hatches that you can just get in and drive. doesn't require much skill and chances are they don't care about much other than its comfy and fast :homme:

i'd prefer a car i put my heart into, something to show for that suprises people (like your nova!) as opposed to something someone else can quite happily go out and buy!

[deans2k8]

ive had two saxos and a 106,

i was more than happy to go back to a saxo after my honda, i missed them lots as it felt like trying to steer a barge round roundabouts compared to the saxo

a Del sol..a barge?...bitch are you retarded?

[Tontsy]

What age are you if you dont mind me asking??

im 21 in 5 weeks.

[Moke]

Hopefully buying my third car on Sunday and it'll be my third VTR :A:

1- it would have to go on bodies and atleast mild cams. i would throw money into it, but id rather have one thats been done to a high standard tbh! and then i can just sit back and enjoy!

im hopfully getting an R1, well was planned for this summer but as i want a new car now, the R1 is next summer...but the Mrs likes the idea of a savings account for a house :)

Buy Yates bodied S then?....love that car, just cant afford it atm :( lol.

R1 ftw, let me know when the R6 is going too, just incase ;) oops, shouldnt have mentioned savings on here incase Dolly reads it haha. Thats you getting sweet FA now :p

[Nik_L]

im 21 in 5 weeks.

I gathered you would be young.

TBH its probably just an age thing from my point of view.At 20 i would have loved a Saxo.At 26 and having had lots of other types of cars etc,ive grown out of the small rattly tin cans etc and prefer just driving something comfy on a day to day basis.

Dont get me wrong i still love some certain small hot hatches but i really couldnt put up with a Saxo again.

[Craig_B]

I had a Saxo 1.0 First for my first car, then went to my current VTR,

as tonto has said, i fancy a Astra VXR next, started saving a couple of months ago. My mate has one and is a very nice car!!

[Tontsy]

the R6 isnt going... ive alraedy decided i will have a garage with an R125, R6 and R1 in. and if i can find one, an R7 but they are getting harder by the day to find in good nic!

and i always get what i want :D if she dont put out, her mum does.

thats the thing, i drive, 20 different cars a day, some days it may be a focus to a galaxy, others in the past has been porsche, nissan GTR ;) lol and a db9!
ive driven most cars i could think that id want to own! and as much as a focus RS, astra VXR, golf R32 / scirocco R, 350z all appeal to me... there is a part of me that loves the saxo, and it suits all my needs.

i dont plan on having kids, as a few years ago i was told i might not be able too. so its not like im looking for something to hold a family. aslong as i can fit bags in the boot (or maybe a woofer or two ;)) im happy.

[Peter_D]

You'll probably regret it if you end up with a VTS instead of the VXR you were planning

I loved my S2 Rallye, handled awesome, looked cool as fuck and was pretty with with all the engine work

Then i got the Teg and it was in a different league, and when i took the Rallye a spin when Krys came to buy it, it felt like a piece of shit...was sitting so high, gear stick felt funny, felt slow etc

Wouldn't even consider a VTS over a VXR...they are totally different cars, and the VXR is "oooh look, a VXR!"...whereas the VTS is "oh, look.....another Saxo...actually don't even bother looking."

[SAM-S44MDS-]

Bastard :( I like R6's lol. Sounds like a nice garage though mate :y:

Ah well if you get what you want then fuck it....get your bodied S, your R1, keep the R6 and start a savings account with whatevers left :y:

well put pete. that is the other small voice in my head...and all my work mates.

[nath89]

I've had a 1.1 106, 2 Saxo VTRs, and a Saxo VTS. :y:

Kinda miss Saxos though atm....

[Chr15]

Im the opposite Peter. 'oh a VXR *yawn*' then 'oh a VTS, who is it?' only to realise its a VTR :n:

[W103_A5H]

My saxo is my 1st car, and myself i think i would find it hard to get rid of it. Its just something about the look of it, feels comfortable to drive as its light, like someone said you can hear noises so you know whats going on around you where as most cars these days you cant hear even the engine! i say upgrade mate :D

[tom130691]

tbh i have alot of fun in my corsa(no power steering ftw) i dont see me owning a big car any time soon, i was debating getting a vtr as i spend alot of miles on duelys but i dont want the pas :homme:

[Tontsy]

Bastard :( I like R6's lol. Sounds like a nice garage though mate :y:

Ah well if you get what you want then fuck it....get your bodied S, your R1, keep the R6 and start a savings account with whatevers left :y:

its never that easy though is it lol... my other option is to get a cheap vtr! and keep that for another 2-3 years, if i was to get the vxr or S id want it for a good 5+ years!

and i could get a nice and tidy low milage R, local to me...and cam it. lol. ive done most of the work on it, servicing, shocks etc, so i know it inside and out.

Options options options :p Tbh mate, at your age I would just go for another saxo. R or S, whichever takes your fancy. Why blow fuckloads on a vxr when you dont yet own a house?
Imo I would rather start looking towards my own place and drive a saxo, than splash loads out on a flashy motor but be skint.
Sure a flashy car is good now, but in a few years its an old vxr and there will be alot better out there again.
Atleast with your own place its somewhere for you and the mrs to settle down, its yours and its always there. :y:

Thats just my opinions though obv, im only 20 and im saving already, hence having a saxo, and an R at that.

Plus....with the money you save on a saxo instead of a vxr, you can buy the R1...you know thats what you really want ;)

[Yates]

id just buy my s

:fcuk: was not expecting that reply at all tbh. Hmmm print screened and saved for proof :p Might be worth the drive to Plymouth just for that tbh ha.
You got nice road down that way? When I get new bike I might head down that way

[JoshB]

Dont get me wrong, my BMW's a great car. Smooth, comfortable, well built.

But the Saxo has charm, character and panache, I love driving it!

[Peter_D]

If you do settle for just a small hatchback why don't you get an S2 106 Rallye?

They are so much rarer than Saxo's, and IMO look way cooler

Plenty 16v conversions going about so will be faster than a VTS as they are lighter

Will also hold their value alot better, and if you keep it for a few years and keep it mint, the value will still be high as they are alot more desireable than a Saxo

[SAM-S44MDS-]

What Peter said is true, the S2 Rallye's are a nice car.

Or try and find a mint bianca white S1 rallye :drool:

last year, i was doing researching into the best biking roads in the UK!
from all the sites, reviews, and magazines, and fastbike and MCN! one in Cornwall was voted in the top 5!

and yes, it was amazing! there are a few good ones around here tbh!
should also look into the "plymouth Mega ride"

Ive looked into them, only thing was at the time I was only toying about on the RS so didnt really want to be wandering down south etc, although it did go Lincoln a few times. Once new bikes in though I will wander down and look at the 1 in cornwall. Get Phil (Juggyluggs) to come down and you can show us around. :y:

Ye mate.

The S1 is a 1.3 8v and the S2 is a 1.6 8v.

The S2 rallye is basically pugs version of the VTR, its just a hell of alot rarer :y:

can have a few days of it, Cap'N'Jaspers
bikers who ride all over the world come to plymouth just to go there, lil shack cafe! butit full of ultimate win!

bare it in mind ;)

[Peter_D]

Yeah the S2 is 1.6 8v, 103bhp...but there are loads with 16v conversions going about, have a look on Pistonheads

http://www.rothar.com/images/content/s2_rallye.jpg

tonto, you thought about a focus st or megane 225 if you're looking down the vxr route?

[tom130691]

no pas either iirc they are light weight versions of vtr different inlet for the 3bhp

Sounds good mate. Ill keep that in mind, defo sort something :y:

Bit more speccy for you too

The S1 rallye uses a TU2J2 engine and is 100bhp and the S2 used a TU5J2 and is 103bhp.
The S1 is quite abit lighter and has more power to weight, but the S2 is quicker up to 60, and the S2 has more torque.
0-60 times. S1 9.6. S2 8.5

The S1 come with red carpet & S2 with blue.

Both have 247mm vented front discs. S1 has rear drums, S2 has 247mm rears, the S2 also uses the 24mm rear arb same as the GTi.

The S1 comes in black, cherry red or bianca white. The S2 comes in bianca white or indigo blue.

There where about 1000 S1's and 500 S2's registered. So as you can imagine, rare as fuck :P

would have to go for the S2, i dont like the look of the S1!! power to weight can always be adjusted with the help of a few spanners, adding and minus a few things.

but there is also as i said, if ifs the pug version of an R, a local R to me, which is up my street.

[SAM-S44MDS-]

I added a bit more spec Tonts ;)

They are like the equivalent basically, but they are alot rarer, and would stand out more than a saxo. Like you say though, saxo can be adjusted and made to be unique and stand out aswell, just like the 106.
Just thought id throw a little bit of spec your way for a gander :y:

Sounds good mate. Ill keep that in mind, defo sort something :y:

Bit more speccy for you too

The S1 rallye uses a TU2J2 engine and is 100bhp and the S2 used a TU5J2 and is 103bhp.
The S1 is quite abit lighter and has more power to weight, but the S2 is quicker up to 60, and the S2 has more torque.
0-60 times. S1 9.6. S2 8.5

The S1 come with red carpet & S2 with blue.

Both have 247mm vented front discs. S1 has rear drums, S2 has 247mm rears, the S2 also uses the 24mm rear arb same as the GTi.

The S1 comes in black, cherry red or bianca white. The S2 comes in bianca white or indigo blue.

There where about 1000 S1's and 500 S2's registered. So as you can imagine, rare as fuck :P

S2 comes in black aswell but they're very rare...my mate had the only RHD black S2 in the UK at one point

Also get a yellow S2 16V but don't know if theres any in this country

S1 looks retro, but the S2 looks so much cooler and is much nicer inside aswell

S1 with 16v would be faster than an S2 16v but for all thats in it i'd rather the S2

Handling is really good you can throw them anywhere, very forgiving cars aswell in terms of handling

Bound to be some throttle bodied 16v S2's for sale, i'll go have a look on the Rallye Register

[Tontsy]

I added a bit more spec Tonts ;)

They are like the equivalent basically, but they are alot rarer, and would stand out more than a saxo. Like you say though, saxo can be adjusted and made to be unique and stand out aswell, just like the 106.

ill keep you guys updated on what i decide!

thanks for your help dude!

Those are the only standard colour officialy sold by Peugeot UK ;) Not to say you are lying, could well have come RHD with optional paint from factory which has been known to happen.
The yellow S2 16 ....sundance yellow GTi? :zainy: lol. Agree with you though Peter, very very good handling on them, and the S2 are nice. S1 is cool,but wouldnt own 1.

No probs :y: Let us know what happens.

MR_D is trying to find you a bodied S2 rallye :panic:

[Krys_23]

Yeah the S2 is 1.6 8v, 103bhp...but there are loads with 16v conversions going about, have a look on Pistonheads

I've only ever owned saxos. A VTR was all I was interested in after my 1.1. Was considering a quicksilver though if I wasn't able to get a VTR. Always wanted a black VTR and there wern't any decent alternatives for a grand.

[ForteChris]

owned 2 saxos now past my test got a 1.1 then with 1years ncb got my furio and for my next im thinking vtr :) i love my saxo every time i think of selling it whenever i drive it i want to keep it there great fun carnt think of any other car id have over it ( at my age ) maybe when im 22-23 ill get something alot more powerfull (supra :P lol) but for the time being saxo ftw :y:
