106 GTI OR VTR?

Discus :homme:

[wadoryu]

Are you a troll? Or just retarded? Gti in every way.

[Brettles1986]

Agreed with the above, 106 GTI is a lovely motor.

This debate is an age old one that gets brought up regularly however.

[Gandi699]

thread number 95954745845754674 on the subject

[Saxorookie16]

only because been offered both at the same price

[Brettles1986]

only because been offered both at the same price

Get the GTI then depending on the condition of both of course.

Just noticed that you said between a VTR and GTI and not a VTS and GTI.

[Quick]

Gti is a Vts in another suit! Higher spec 16v unlike an R!



If they are the same price, but the Gti is a dog, buy the R. If the same buy the git

gti is imaculate only one owner sice new in wicked red and completly standard annd full service and repairs history a years tax and ticket

[Quick]

Can you afford the extra insurance on a git? Vs an R??

[Saxorookie16]

yeah quoted pretty much the same only about 20 pound in it

[Gandi699]

so why ask the question? GTi is a more desirable car

[smiith]

120bhp vs 90bhp, or 90bhp.. hardly worth asking

[Ross]

The gti is a better car all round, and will hold it's value better.

Not sure this is even a sensible question tbh lol

[Saxorookie16]

are there many common faults and what should i specificly look for when i go to view

Lol, Yes... Many.

Edit - Not that I'm trying to put you off, Every good car comes with common problems.
I should know, I've got a rover.

i guessed i didnt know the exact colour but its red

[devilsadvocate]

Serious?

If you had said GTI or VTS then this may have been more of a debate as mainly it just comes down to preference. A GTI over a VTR however is a clear no brainer....

Here's the list of everything that can go wrong: http://www.saxperience.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=13

[Saxorookie16]

well i could afford the vts but not many about

Pardon?

Surely there are less GTI's about?

[Saxorookie16]

Ignore everyone, the vtr has the better torque.

It will rip your face off.....

Trollolol

[m4tt274]

Maybe you mean VTS?
They are the same chassis, but the GTI is higher spec than a VTR, so GTI.
GTI> extras being ABS, leathers and a whopping 22bhp more!
BUT THEN, you have about a 25% increase in fuel costs and little more than that in insurance.

VTS/GTI wise, they are the same, the saxos tend to be a cheaper, the 106s often tend to sell faster.

Theres really nothing in it to be honest.

[DaDangerMan]

Lol, Yes... Many.

but you don't have a good car ? :)

Its got nice seats and (with a good headgasket) a pretty good engine in it tbf!

nice seats if we were playing san andreas back when it come out. :)

And definitely a GTI,

Diablo red :homme:

Was just about to say all that. When you get a 106 GTI you become a badge snob. Never would you get a chavvy paint name for it :homme: Also there are 4 different shades of Diablo red :y:


well i could afford the vts but not many about

There are definitely less GTI than VTS. By a long way.

60 in 2nd y0!

I can do 62mph in second gear :homme:


I say get the GTI because I have one :hug: especially if it's immaculate. a VTR has a horrible gearbox too and is noticeably slower. Even better if it's a single plug GTI - they're a bit quicker. There's no way my 3 plug could catch Alans onyx asbo machine.

[jasonmayall]

False. :)

Someone understands lol. the engine has about 1500miles on it, its brand spanking new. They handle brilliantly, even come with a LSD as standard.

But anyway, This thread isnt about my car ;)

[Nates-VTR]

I know it says vtr and the obvious choice is gti, but between gti and vts I'd still have the gti, nicer shape, meaner looking front, although I do rather the vts dash

true at least then i will know it has been well looked after and cared for

[MartinObviously]

Sure it wasn't just surface rust? Did you prod the wheel arches? If they are solid, so's the rest of the car :P

true at least then i will know it has been well looked after and cared for

HAHAHA

My GTI has been owned by "enthusiasts" since 2007, it's had a hard life.

Although, it does have proper new front wheel arches welded in :homme: and not just metal plates. and the roof has been treated and re-painted.

[devilsadvocate]

true at least then i will know it has been well looked after and cared for

Not always true, even with established members on here you have to be careful.

I went to look at one and it turned out to be a shitter...like a proper shitter then they were an established member on here.

[Saxorookie16]

no i poked them and they felt like they were about to fall apart i said to them that i would need to spend alot on fixing the rust and they then dropped the price so still debating it because i can get a a nice 30% of pug parts due to work but it will be very time consuming

No brainer.

[SnakeVTR]

Id rather have a GTi...i own a vtr but i bought that when i couldnt affort the insurance on the GTi as it was more or less double the vtr insurance price.
